How To Keep Your Home Germ Free

By Edward Bailey


A lot of people think that the safest or cleanest place is a home. This notion will be dispelled once you swipe on some surfaces and look at them slide through a microscope. There are a lot of disease causing pathogens on different surfaces. How can you keep a germ free surface at 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 is one of the ways to deal with germs. Enclosing a room means that moisture cannot be eliminated from the house. This means that germs have an opportunity to thrive. Air circulation removes the germs and in the process keeps your home free of germs. A heater or air conditioning will also initiate circulation.

Disinfect cleaning sponges and dusters. These materials are used to clean dirty areas and get rid of pathogens. It means that concentration of the pathogens on the sponges is high. Once the sponges remain unattended, they will generate more disease causing organisms. During wiping, these pathogens will be spread to different surfaces. Though the surfaces appear clean, they will still spread germs to 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 regularly. Body secretions like sweat provide the perfect environment for pathogens to grow. If they are left on the bed for too long, they increase germ concentration. This means that you are more prone to diseases. Keep a dustbin in the room and empty it on regular basis.

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.
