In daily life, groups pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene due to the need to maintain cleanliness. However, items with clean surfaces are often the most likely places for bacteria to grow. For example, the "mud" that appears during bathing is often mistaken for skin dirt, so it needs to be removed thoroughly. When handling foods such as food and fruits, people are accustomed to wrapping their hands with toilet paper to keep the surface clean. Even when sharing snacks, some people use toilet paper to prevent hand contamination. Although such behaviors may seem hygienic, they actually have potential health hazards that deserve our deep consideration and correction.
1. Misuse of toilet paper
In fact, many people often misuse toilet paper as a food contact protection product, believing it to be effective in keeping their hands clean. But in reality, this view is wrong. In order to cater to the human preference for white, manufacturers add too much bleach to the production of toilet paper, and these chemicals may remain in the paper, and the frequent replacement of food contact substances is not good for health, and may even lead to the ingestion of harmful toxins, which is a potential hidden danger.
However, even toilet paper that does not contain bleach can still cause bacterial growth due to environmental humidity, etc., so it is not a complete replacement for hand washing. The best choice is to wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizer or sanitizer to ensure food safety.
2. Misunderstandings about toilet flushingThe common belief is that flushing in the toilet quickly eliminates odors. In reality, however, strong water currents can spread dust bacteria and particulates in all directions, potentially contaminating the surrounding environment. Especially in high water conditions, the spread of these pollutants can be further expanded, which in turn can affect the surrounding items and even the air quality.
In addition, the foam and water flow generated during flushing can help drive contaminants in the restroom and improve diffusion efficiency. Especially in restrooms with poor ventilation, the flushing process can induce potential hygiene problems. To avoid this, it is recommended that you close the toilet lid before flushing the toilet to reduce the possibility of splashing and spreading.
3. Mistakes in the arrangement of quiltsMost people are accustomed to making their beds as soon as they wake up in the morning and folding the quilt into a square, but this behavior may actually speed up the growth of bacteria in the quilt. During the day, people will inevitably come into contact with various bacteria and pollution sources, such as not properly drying and disinfecting, directly folding the used quilt, over time, the number of bacteria on the surface of the quilt will continue to increase, causing potential harm to human health.
Please place the back of the bedding in an outdoor ventilated area after waking up in the morning to remove moisture and bacteria. If conditions permit, you can consider drying, using ultraviolet rays in the sunlight to achieve the effect of sterilization and dust removal, to ensure that the bedding is clean and hygienic, and to protect human health.
4. Misunderstandings of tableware cleaning The general perception is that most people use a rag when cleaning dishes to ensure that they are as clean as new. However, it is worth noting that the rag can easily provide conditions for bacteria to multiply, and if not replaced and cleaned in time, the tableware will be subjected to secondary contamination. Especially in humid environments, the growth rate of bacteria increases significantly, making it more difficult to clean dishes.
The correct way to do this is to allow the dishes to evaporate naturally and rinse them thoroughly with water, then place them in a well-ventilated place to air dry. If cleaning with a rag, replace or wash regularly to prevent bacteria from multiplying. In addition, the use of professional cleaners and disinfectants is essential to ensure the hygiene of dishes.
