Sweeping the floor is an essential household activity in our daily life. Whether it's to keep our home tidy or to prevent the growth of dust and bacteria, we need to sweep the floor regularly. Usually, we use a broom to accomplish this task because it is simple, convenient, and efficient. However, many people, after sweeping the floor, tend to randomly place the broom anywhere in sight and ignore some important details. In fact, there are three places in the home that are not suitable for brooms: the kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom. Below, I will explain in detail why these three places are not suitable for brooms.
1. Kitchen: the threat of oil smoke and bacteria
The kitchen is an important part of the home, where cooking takes place every day, but it is also where fumes and bacteria grow. Not only can oil fumes adhere to all corners of the kitchen, but they can also contaminate kitchen utensils, including brooms. If we put the broom in the kitchen, the broom can easily get on the oil smoke and oil stains.
When using a broom stained with fumes and grease to sweep the floor, the floor of the whole room will become greasy, which not only affects the appearance, but also increases the difficulty of cleaning. To make matters worse, the number of germs in the kitchen is relatively high, and brooms can carry and spread germs, posing a potential threat to your family's health. Therefore, in order to keep the kitchen clean and hygienic, we should avoid putting the broom in the kitchen.
2. Living room: aesthetic and hygienic considerations
The living room serves as a common area in the home and is a place where we rest, relax and receive our guests. It's important to keep your living room tidy and beautiful. As a cleaning tool, if the broom is placed in the living room at will, it will look out of place and affect the overall aesthetics. Imagine having guests come to your home and see a broom in the living room, which can be uncomfortable. At the same time, the living room is usually connected to our living space, and in order to ensure the health and hygiene of the family, the broom should also be avoided in the living room. Therefore, for both aesthetic and hygienic reasons, it is not recommended to place the broom in the living room.
3. Bathroom: the hidden danger of dampness and bacteria
Some people may think that there is a more hidden corner behind the bathroom door, and there should be no problem placing a broom. However, we need to understand that due to its special function, the toilet is usually cramped and the ambient humidity is high. If the broom is left in such an environment for a long time, the broom is very easy to absorb the surrounding moisture, resulting in moisture. To make matters worse, there are often multiple germs in the restroom that can attach to the broom. Once we clean the room with such a broom, these bacteria will be carried to every corner of the room with the cleaning action, bringing great hidden dangers to the hygiene of the home.
Fourth, the correct way of storage
So, how should we store the broom correctly?First of all, a good choice is to prepare a special broom holder. Such a broom rack can not only give the broom a clean and tidy storage environment, but also effectively avoid oil, moisture and bacteria on the broom. In addition to this, it is also a good option to store the broom on the balcony if conditions allow. Sunlight exposure can help the broom stay dry better, effectively reducing moisture problems. Of course, we also need to consider convenience and aesthetics when storing brooms. Through these careful considerations, our living environment will become cleaner and more hygienic, and our home life will become more comfortable and comfortable.
