The bathroom at home is often used, and the humidity is relatively high, which is easy to breed bacteria. If we don’t pay attention to develop some bad habits, it may affect our health! These bad habits are things that everyone will do. Remember to get rid of them after reading them!
1. Make your shower curtain moldy.
The spores of mold can be seen! If you have seen your shower curtain black, it means that there are millions or billions of spores on it! In addition, 25% of the population may be allergic or asthmatic due to the stimulation of mold. The best way is to change the shower curtain or disinfect it with bleach.
2. The sink is full of sundries
A bunch of things are on your sink? Toothbrushes, cosmetics, skin care products, and things infected with bacteria may be smeared on your face every day! It is suggested to wipe the sink regularly, and it is suggested that cosmetics and other items should be kept less in the bathroom. If you really want to put it, put some toilet paper on the brush and keep it dry!
3. Hang a pile of wet and dirty towels.
If you have this habit, you can actually know that there are “many bacteria” on the towel by smelling it. Towels in the bathroom can’t be completely dried, so it will allow mold to breed quickly and create a recognizable smell. It is suggested that each towel be hung separately in your dry room, disinfected with boiling water and bleach in 2-3 weeks, and replaced regularly.
4. No ventilation
The bathroom itself is very humid. Without ventilation, mold naturally begins to multiply, and people with allergies and asthma will be easily affected. If you have a ventilation window or an exhaust fan, or you can open the door a little or open it completely after bathing to keep the air circulating, the spore number can be greatly reduced.
5. All toothbrushes are put in the same cup.
If you and your family or roommate’s toothbrush are often put together, in such a small space, the contact between toothbrush bristles will certainly transmit germs! If he happens to be ill, then you may be next. Besides, have you ever seen the toothbrush cup look like after a long time without washing it? It’s like a reservoir, where all molds and germs accumulate at the bottom of your toothbrush cup. It is recommended to disinfect or replace the cup every few weeks and keep your toothbrush completely separate from the cup.
6. Use the same toothbrush for a long time
We all often hear that the toothbrush should be changed regularly. In general, it is best to change your toothbrush once every three months. When you have a bad cold or illness for a while, it is recommended to thoroughly clean your toothbrush or replace it with a new one when you are well. Because during that time, germs will follow your saliva into the brush hair, and they can live in it for several weeks, and you may catch a cold again!
7. bath ball used it for more than three months.
The bacteria and mold it accumulates are like the cabbage patch used in the kitchen for a long time, but it is not obvious! It gathers all the bacteria on the surface of your body, which may seriously make your skin sick! The best way is not to use these things, but if you still like to use them, please be sure to rinse them with super-hot water and dry them outside the bathroom, and change them every three months.
8. Still using the razor that has been used for a long time.
You may think it unnecessary to spend so much money on a razor! However, once the razor is rusted, there may be staphylococci, and the blunt blade may accidentally cut the skin or cause hair ingrowth, which may even lead to the risk of infection.
9. Take the razor out of the bathroom.
Many people will do this because razors will rust if they are left in the bathroom for too long. It is recommended to put it on a dry paper towel and towel to dry fully after use, and it is recommended to spray alcohol gently to kill residual bacteria.
10. The neglected floor
The black one on the crack of the floor tile, I don’t think I need to say it! Fungi, molds and bacteria grow happily together on your floor. The mold in your bathroom may extend outward, and the floor outside will suffer! For cleaning once a week, it is recommended to use disinfectant or bleach. If you often take off your shoes and go to the toilet, if you have a new wound on your foot, you may have to clean it every day until your foot heals.
11. Forgot to clean the doorknob and light switch.
Everyone knows to wash your hands after going to the toilet! But you may touch the east and west before going to the toilet, just blow your nose with a cold and sneeze, and then turn on the light and close the door. Hands are the main source of germs, and your doorknob and light switch are full of germs. So remember to use antibacterial cleaning materials to wipe the doorknob and light switch once in a while or twice a week.
12. A bathtub that has never been cleaned.
The bathtub is really great! I don’t want to come out if I soak in it, let alone a jacuzzi! If you share the bathroom with others, your bath must be wonderful! You may be swimming happily in someone else’s bacterial bathtub, and Staphylococcus aureus from someone else’s wound may enter your body through your hair, nose and mouth. Wipe the bathtub with bleach every week!
13. Wipe your hands, face and body with the same towel.
This is a mistake we often make! Dead skin cells on your face, dirt on your hands, and soap residue on your body may all be on it! The fecal bacteria that you wipe your ass after taking a shower can also be on it … and you wipe your face with it! The result can be imagined! It is recommended to wipe the body cloth separately and disinfect it regularly.
Everyone wipes their hands with the same towel.
Even after washing, towels are a perfect humid environment for mold and bacteria to grow. Besides, you never know how others use this towel! They may be used to wipe your mouth, face and infect each other. The best way is that everyone has his own towel and washes it every week. Don’t use other people’s towels. After all, you don’t know what part he uses …
15. Anti-skid pad that has not been replaced.
Mold spores can live on the skid pad for weeks, not to mention your hair and dust. If you have cuts and blisters on your feet, it is easy to get infected from dirty bath mats. It is recommended to buy anti-skid pads that are easy to clean and wash, and heat and disinfect them once a week or two (or bleach). If your mat is made of wood or plastic, you can wipe it with alcohol or antibacterial cleaner.
16. Put the soap in a container.
Unless it has holes under it, it is really a “Petri dish” for cultivating bacteria! Because your soap is wet after use, it will promote the growth of bacteria, and the bacteria on your skin will never be washed away. It is recommended to use utensils with drainage holes, or simply abandon soap and use bath milk.
17. Super dirty toilet
When everyone’s urine and feces are accumulated in your toilet, the number of bacteria can be imagined! Although it doesn’t directly touch the toilet seat, every time you flush water, bacteria will float up with it! For safety reasons, it is best to disinfect with antibacterial cleaner or bleach at least once a week.
Pay attention to the sanitary problems in the bathroom and get rid of those bad habits mentioned above in order to keep us healthy!
