How To Maintain A Germ Free House

By Edward Bailey


Everyone thinks that the home is the cleanest and safest place until you swipe on a surface and put it on microscope. There are a lot of germs that will keep you constantly ill and on medication. Though it is impossible to eliminate germs from the house, it is possible to reduce their numbers to a point that you have a healthy home. Here are tips on how to maintain a germ free home.

Develop a routine to help you clean the entire house on regular basis. The common way of cleaning is to wipe areas that are used often and those that people can see. This leaves a lot of the areas dirty or with a toxic accumulation of pathogens. The dirty places will return germs to areas that have not been cleaned. A routine ensures that all areas are fully covered at least once a week or month.

Keep your house dry at all times. A moist environment provides the best thriving place or factory for germs. Water also means that the germs can stick on a surface and be easily transferred to other areas. If all the rooms are left dry, the germs do not have a breeding ground. Keep your windows open to ensure free circulation of air and avoid accumulation of pathogens. Ensure that the room is well lit so that germs do not accumulate.

Proper ventilation will kill most germs and pathogens. Germs hide in places where there is not light and are stuffy. Disturb this environment by ensuring free flow of air. This air also comes with heat that dries all the moisture that allows these germs to thrive. However, you should only allow circulation when it is not too dump. Using a heater will also perform magic.

Cleaning dusters, clothes and sponges should be disinfected regularly. These are materials used on dirty areas that are prone to disease causing microorganisms. If they are not disinfected, they provide a rich environment for germs to thrive. The cloths with then cause the spread of pathogens to other parts around the house. It means that the process of cleaning will only be spreading pathogens to other areas.

Keep the bathroom clean and dry. Bathrooms are prone to dirt because of the activities that take place there. Moisture accumulation makes the situation worse because the germs can thrive. The bathroom should be cleaned and disinfected to ensure that germs have no place to thrive. Open the windows to guarantee a clean environment. Further, take advantage of natural lighting to keep dry environment. Those taking showers in the bathroom will spread pathogens instead of leaving the area clean.

Clean your bedding on regular basis. This is supposed to be your most peaceful room. Clean and organize it in a way that makes it appealing to step into the space. De-clutter the bedroom such that it feels peaceful and orderly. Find places to hang some of the clothes before they are folded. Have a bin for all waste and empty it regularly.

Enhance personal hygiene so that it extends to your immediate environment. This includes cleaning your toothbrush, taking a regular shower and attending to your nails. Learn how to wash your hands thoroughly after ordinary activities to avoid spread of germs to other areas. Lack of personal hygiene turns you into the source of diseases and pathogens.
