Some people are just so obsess about
their cleanliness that they even won’t touch bus poles. In fact, a lot of
places are infected by germs where they are hiding. You might be surprised
where you can find them. Read more and find out.
Crack in crockery
Well, you can see how clean an old dish
is. However, the cracks in your old dish and in chopping boards can get all the
germs and bacteria. In case your chopping boards began to get deeper knife
cuts, better get a new one.
Fridge seals
As much as we want to keep our foods
clean and fresh in the fridge, we want to maintain the cleanliness of the
fridge. It’s the same story with your dishwasher’s rubber cushioning. Do a weekly
inspection and cleaning of the edges using bleach solution.
Reusable shopping bags
Using reusable shopping is
environment-friendly. On the other hand, you also need to make sure that you
are using a paper cloth with all-purpose cleaner or white vinegar to avoid
contamination.
Vacuum cleaner
Though Hoover is usually associated
with cleanliness, it’s actually the appliance loaded with most germs. According
to a study from the journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiology, a number
of spreadable bacteria fill brushes and vacuum bags. Using a dish soap and
water, clean the compartments and attachments completely, clean the brush with
an old comb and get rid of the residue from the filter.
Welcome mat
You probably don’t know but every time
you put your bags on the welcome mat you are as well attracting germs. The
dirtiest part of your house is the area around the door and you would realize
this if you remember where you step and scrape your shoes all day. About 96% of
shoes have found to be contaminated with coliform and fecal bacteria according
to one study. People are carrying with their footwear a huge number of germs.
Remember to have your shoes at the door. If possible, apply disinfectant on
your welcome mat.
