Pick up an infection in your own home? This is as real as in a public place. And the reason for that is our ignorance, where lurk the dirtiest towns in the native land. Following advertising, we believe that they are in the toilet, but in fact - most of them... in the kitchen!
What is the reason? In this corner, where we eat and store food waste, warm and humid, and a "micro-climate" - a paradise for bacteria and microbes that can cause serious diseases weight - from allergies to pneumonia.
Editorial Gingerbread Man brought together 12 of the dirtiest items in an average apartment.
Kitchen sponge and towel.For comparison, if a toilet rim 50 bacteria per 6.5 square centimeters, then on the same "territory" kitchen towel gets more than 1 million bacteria on a sponge - about 10 million. Replace the sponge every week, and towels are washed frequently in hot water and utyuzhte.
IMPORTANT. Take note that the palm of the number of bacteria divides the kitchen sponge with a hookah is not a disposable tube. Experts argue that such a device for smoking can coexist and 20 million bacteria.
Cutting board "Manages" to collect on its surface is 200 times more germs than a toilet seat. It is desirable to have in the kitchen at least 5-6 boards for cutting different foods: raw meat and poultry, cooked foods, fruits and vegetables, cheese, bread. In any case, it is not superfluous to wipe the board clean even a 5% solution of vinegar or alcohol.
home phone handset TV remote control, computer keyboard and house keys divide "honorable" third place in our rankings and require regular rubbing alcohol every 2-3 days.
Door handles and switches - practically on a par with the keys and remotes, because in their regard to a lot of people during the day. You will not believe, but according to the degree of contamination of switches surpass even the mats at the door, on which wipe their feet.
Shower curtain bathroom shower stall doorsWet and not very clean (you do every day, take a shower and drip on the surface) accumulate whole colonies of microbes. It is advisable to change the curtain at least once every 2-3 months and wash every week in hot water.
Cup out of toothbrushes, Which falls to the bottom and flows a lot of moisture - also a hotbed of microbial.
Trash bin The default is in our ranking of the dirtiest things in the house. Let you and put in the basket a special plastic bag, anyway tiny remnants of food and water fall to the bottom, begin to rot, attracting a lot of bacteria.
What to do? Change cart is not necessary - just wash it every week (and even more often) with a disinfectant.
toilet seat could not get into the ranking of the dirtiest things in the house due to the accumulation of bacteria on the toilet seat, and the seat and under the rim.
Dishwasher and washing machineare listed as "messy" because the outer rim (and for washing machines - the inside of the rubber gasket between the door and the drum), which accumulated a lot of dirt. Wash, wash and wash again.
RefrigeratorWhich so happens, too lazy to wash, collects on the door, shelves and walls of a lot of dirt that gives very specific "flavors" even when fresh food inside.
Pillows, blankets, mattresses - collectors of microscopic particles of dead skin and mites, these particles and eating... shitting in the same bed. These droppings often provoke us conjunctivitis, allergy, cough and runny nose. Frequent change of clothes - not a panacea: pillows and blankets, even with synthetic content should be washed twice a year, and wool and feather bedding, feather pillows to give the cleaners.
A bagThat day "has seen" and public transportation, and office and shop, "stores" on their surface sea bacteria.
Treat bag with a weak solution of vinegar, then wipe dry to microbes divorced in a moist environment. It is not superfluous and often wipe the housekeeper, mobile, purse, which also do not shine with cleanliness.
