There is a good saying: "A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel." ”
Home is our warmest harbor and the place we come into contact with every day. However, there are some items that we use every day that may seem clean, but in fact they can be "extremely dirty".
Many people may not be aware of this and are still inadvertently in close contact with these hidden "hygienic blind spots". In this issue, we will reveal the 4 dirtiest things in the house and give practical cleaning suggestions.
1. Bathroom shower:
———— a gathering place for limescale and bacteria
The bathroom shower is an essential tool for us to take a bath every day, but after a long period of use, the outlet hole of the shower is easily clogged by limescale and bacteria.
This not only affects the comfort of bathing, but can also cause irritation and infection to our skin.
✔ Cleaning Tips:
To get rid of limescale and bacteria from your shower, we can use citric acid, a miracle cleaner.
Dissolve the appropriate amount of citric acid in warm water, then pour the solution into a plastic bag and wrap the shower.
Wait a few hours to remove the plastic bag and you'll notice that the limescale on the shower has disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the acidity of citric acid can also effectively kill bacteria, making your bathing experience more healthy and comfortable.
2. Washing machine:
———— hiding place for germs
Washing machines are the right hand man in our daily lives, but did you know? The inside of a washing machine that has been used for a long time may be dirtier than the toilet!
Studies have shown that washing machines that have not been cleaned for half a year have a staggering number of bacteria inside. These bacteria can contaminate our clothes during the laundry process, posing a health hazard.
✔ Cleaning Tips:
To clean the washing machine thoroughly, we can use the golden pair of white vinegar and baking soda.
First, soak an old towel in white vinegar and put it in the washing machine to spin dry. The acidity of white vinegar softens stains and kills bacteria inside the washing machine.
Next, add an appropriate amount of baking soda and toilet water to the washing machine and select the wash mode to clean. Drain the sewage at the end and your washing machine will be brand new.
3. Refrigerator:
———— potential breeding ground for mold
As a large storage household in the home, the refrigerator undertakes the important task of preserving food. However, have you ever noticed those little black spots on the seal of your refrigerator?
They are no ordinary stains, but a breeding ground for mold. Left uncleaned for a long time, these molds can not only contaminate food but can also pose a threat to our health.
✔ Cleaning Tips:
To get rid of these stubborn molds, we can use a mixture of alcohol and cola.
Mix the alcohol and cola in a 1:1 ratio, dip it in gauze, and carefully wipe every corner of the seal.
Alcohol kills and disinfects, while the acidic ingredients in cola effectively dissolve mold. After wiping, remember to wipe again with water to remove any remaining detergent.
4. Bed:
———— paradise for mites and dust
Beds are an important place for us to rest and recharge every day. However, what appears to be a clean bed may actually hide a lot of pollutants such as mites, dust, and dander.
Beds that are not cleaned for a long time will not only affect our sleep quality, but may also cause problems such as allergies and respiratory diseases.
✔ Cleaning Tips:
In order to keep our beds clean and hygienic, we need to change and wash bedding such as sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases regularly. At the same time, keeping the room ventilated and dry is also one of the key measures to prevent mite breeding.
In addition, we can use a mite cleaner to regularly clean the surface of the bed and contaminants such as mites, dust and dander in the crevices.
This not only improves our sleep quality, but also effectively prevents problems such as allergies and respiratory diseases.
Write at the end:
Home hygiene is about our health and quality of life, so we need to be vigilant and clean our homes regularly.
Remember, only by paying attention to and improving the hygiene of our families can we enjoy life better and stay away from diseases!
