5 Havens For Germs And Bacteria In The Home
2

• Youd probably be surprised at some of the places
  that germs and bacteria can be found in the home,
  even places that you believed to be clean. Here
  are 5 havens for germs and bacteria in the home
• Kitchen sink
• Contrary to popular belief, and as strange as it
  may sound, your toilet bowl may contain less
  hazardous germs than your kitchen sink. Food
  particles that are left over from dishwashing in
  the sink can quickly become breeding grounds for
  bacteria that can cause illnesses like E.Coli and
  salmonella, which can in turn, spread to your
  hands and onto food.

• Sanitize your sink thoroughly every day to
  prevent bacteria from breeding in it.
• Toothbrushes
• We use our toothbrushes every day and usually pop
  them back in the holder without drying them off
  and leaving them exposed to germs and bacteria in
  the air. Did you know that every time you flush
  the toilet, millions of tiny germ particles
  dissipate into the air and can land on items in
  your bathroom for up to two hours after youve
  flushed?

4

• Try to keep your toothbrush away from the toilet
  and replace it every month or so, and especially
  after youve been sick. Closing the lid when you
  flush will prevent germs and bacteria from
  floating around your bathroom, too.
• Salt and pepper condiments
• Colds are common and often when we have one, we
  dont realise how easily we can spread our germs
  around our home. When salt and pepper shakers
  were tested for bacteria in the homes of people
  suffering from a cold, they were found to be
  harbouring the cold virus.

5

• Wash your hands often and especially when you
  have a cold, this will minimize the spread of
  bacteria.
• The computer keyboard
• Many of us eat at our computers, sit there and
  sneeze and surf the web with dirty hands, making
  the keyboard a veritable breeding ground for
  germs and bacteria. When research was carried out
  on computer keyboards by a consumer group, some
  of them were found to be hosting enough germs to
  have them classed as a health hazard.

6

• As with minimizing the spread of most germs and
  bacteria, hand washing is one of the most
  effective methods, and cleaning your computer
  keyboard with a sanitizing wipe frequently will
  also help.
• If you feel that there are many areas in your
  home that are playing host to germs and bacteria
  that could be harmful to your health, why not
  arrange for a professional cleaning company to
  come in and make everywhere sanitary? Couple that
  with washing your hands regularly, and your home
  could be germ free in next to no time.
