How To Keep Your House Germ Free

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.

Dry all water and remove moisture from all corners and rooms in the house. Germs thrive in places that are damp. The presence of water also makes it easier to transfer these pathogens to other surfaces. Leave all surfaces and rooms dry. The pathogens will have no place to live and their numbers will therefore be reduced. Open the windows to allow free air circulation so that there is no accumulation. Light is also an effective way to fight germs.

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.

Disinfect the duster, spongers and other wiping materials used around the house. These materials are commonly used to clean dirty areas. They remain with a lot of pathogens that can be spread to other areas. Disinfecting eliminates the perfect environment that germs require to thrive. When the duster is used again, it only serves to spread pathogens to other parts of your house.

Clean the bathroom and keep it dry at all times. Activities that take place in the bathroom make it a place vulnerable to dirt. Pathogens will easily thrive here. The place should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to reduce accumulation of disease causing pathogens. Ensure free circulation of air in the bathroom as well. Lighting should also be enhanced since some pathogens will be eliminated by natural lighting. If the place is not cleaned, people using the room will collect pathogens and spread them to other areas.

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.
