Is Your Dirty Home Making You Sick?
2

• You might be sick of looking at your dirty home,
  but could it actually be making you sick?
• Theres more to not keeping your home clean than
  what you see on the surface, and some of the
  things you dont clean often enough (if at all!),
  could be having a negative impact on your health
  and wellbeing
• Not changing your sheets often enough
• This can cause dust mites that are feeding on
  your dead skin and dander to release waste and
  germs that cause allergies, contact dermatitis
  and a whole range of other unpleasant skin
  irritations. To prevent this from happening, wash
  your bed sheets and bedding at least fortnightly.

• Not getting rid of expired food or cleaning your
  fridge
• coli and Salmonella are both a risk to you and
  anyone using your refrigerator and eating your
  food, if you leave food to rot in it, or dont
  clean up spillages quickly enough. Organizing
  your fridge appropriately and taking advantage of
  the coolest areas for storage of certain items
  that spoil quickly, can help, and you should aim
  to clean your refrigerator from top to bottom,
  inside and out, at least once every three months.

• Failing to clean your air vents
• While the air ducts in your home can be a little
  troublesome to clean, its worth paying a
  professional to check your entire unit over at
  least once a year, and changing the filters as
  often as recommended to prevent pollution or even
  mold from creeping into your home via the air
  ducts.

• Leaving dirty dishes
• Not only can dirty dishes attract flies and
  bacteria, but they can make you really sick, and
  cause all manner of digestive problems. Clean
  your dishes, pots and pans thoroughly with dish
  soap or put them in the dishwasher where theyll
  get washed properly at a high temperature, and
  try not to leave them sitting around dirty for
  too long. It also pays to change your sponge or
  cloth frequently, or soak them in bleach
  overnight to eliminate any bacteria that may have
  built up on them.

• Not cleaning your floors properly
• While you might not eat your dinner off of the
  floor, if you dont clean them often enough and
  walk around barefoot in your home, you could pick
  up any number of fungal organisms that might be
  breeding in the carpets or bath matsvia cuts or
  sore spots on your feet. If possible, avoid
  wearing your outdoor shoes inside, wash all rugs
  and bath mats frequently and vacuum your floors
  daily or twice weekly according to the level of
  dirt.
• If youre struggling to stay on top of cleaning
  and need some help keeping germs, dust mites and
  other allergens in your home at bay, simply call
  in the professionals and have them come in
  regularly to keep your home healthy and clean.
