With the arrival of chilly weather, there sure will be the spread
of winter germs in your home. So, what should you do to escape from this
menace?!
Prevention is better than cure! In addition to regular cleaning, proper home
maintenance should also be ensured on
a seasonal basis. You may be finding it difficult to combine household chores and home maintenance works.
Get your home in great shape with professional home maintenance practice. This includes taking the services
of experts such as home cleaners, plumbers etc. occasionally so as to avoid something major
goes wrong in your home.
Did you know that there are less chances of catching colds and flu
if your home is well cleaned and kept hygienic during the winter?!
Tips for Keeping Your Home Germs Free
Your dishwasher can be a source of fungi and black yeast. So don’t
believe the myth that dishwasher need not to be cleaned because it’s a
Washer! Thoroughly clean the inside of a
dishwasher by running it empty with a cup of vinegar on the top rack - Clean it like this at least once in a month
to decrease the presence of germs.
If you use gloves for cleaning, remember that they can be very
unhygienic if proper care is not given. Change the gloves frequently and ensure
that they are kept clean and dry when not in use. Cleaning can be done by putting
the gloves in a basin with vinegar and detergent. This is to make sure that bacteria growth in
the gloves is well under control.
If you have gas heating, and not yet serviced the gas hot water
and gas heater during autumn, do it now on an urgent basis. This is to prevent gas
leakages in the heater, and ensure its smooth functioning throughout the winter
when you need it the most. Take the
services of a licensed plumber during summer for maintenance checks so that
there will be fewer issues in winter. Release
the hot water system valves to reduce pressure and inspect the sacrificial anode
rod and replace it if required during summer checks. If you had done these summer checks and servicing
on your hot water supply, then there won’t be any further problems in winter.
It doesn’t matter whether you use a wooden or a plastic cutting
board- provided it’s cleaned regularly. Plastic boards can be washed in a
dishwasher set to approx. 60°C. Bacteria growth in wooden boards is very less,
so normal cleaning will suffice.
The most used and frequently touched items in the house such as door knobs, light switches, and electronic items like
computer keyboards, mouse and TV remote, etc. are to be wiped clean twice or
thrice in a month. Some studies have
proved that these items contain more harmful micro organisms than the toilet
seat.
Also, don’t use the same bath towel repeatedly without properly
cleaning it. Germs easily grow and multiply in a damp towel. Frequent cleaning,
and drying after every use, can keep the towels dry and free from harmful
bacteria.
