Gleaming fixtures aside, the bathroom can easily be one of the most unhygienic places in the home. Microorganisms thrive in humid environments. Wet areas can support the proliferation of germs and serve as a reservoir for them.
Maintain a dry and well-ventilated bathroom. Be sure to clean your bathroom thoroughly on a regular basis.
A visibly clean toilet may have around 189 different germs.
Arm yourself with a very good bathroom cleaner and follow these bathroom hygiene tips:
TOILET
The toilet can be a depository of bacteria and viruses from feces. Cover the toilet when flushing to keep germs from being propelled to other nearby surfaces such as on toothbrushes. Regularly clean your toilet. This is especially important whenever someone is suffering from diarrhea or vomiting. Scrub the inside of the bowl several times a week. Do not forget to disinfect the seat, rim, lid, and the flush handle, which is frequently touched.
SINK
Washing your hands is still one of the best ways to prevent sickness. Always wash after using the toilet, coming into contact with bodily fluids, or cleaning any part of the bathroom. However, be aware that the sink can harbour bacteria and fungi. Contaminated hands may also leave colds and flu viruses on your sink taps. Scour the basin regularly with a clean rag soaked with an anti-bacterial cleansing solution, then rinse the basin with water. Disinfect your taps every day.
BATHTUB AND SHOWER
The shower and tub can shelter bacteria and fungi, which can cause skin infections and trigger respiratory allergies. Germs can lurk in cracks inside a tub. Regularly scrub the bathing area. Clean the shower walls before the shower floor to prevent spreading germs. Pay special attention to the corners of the shower. Molds can form and damage your shower curtain. Wash your curtain using an anti-bacterial cleaning solution.
DRAINPIPES
Drainpipes can be home to germ-carrying pests such as cockroaches. Hair, soap, and other substances can also clog them. Take out hair or soap particles that collect around the drains or plugholes. Periodically pour an anti-bacterial cleansing solution down your drains to prevent unpleasant smells from developing and to keep residue from accumulating inside your pipes.
FLOOR AND WALL TILES
Wet floors can help spread ailments like plantar warts and athlete's foot. Grime can easily accumulate in the grouting of tiled floors. Eliminate molds and mildew from tiled floors by regularly cleaning the floor. After washing, disinfect your mop and rag with an anti-bacterial solution to prevent transferring germs to other surfaces.
