Since we live in Florida, we tend to keep our windows closed. Without proper air flow in your home, your living room will become a breeding ground for germs. If you
have small children that live with you, those germs will multiply. But did you know that many of the germs that are in your home are there naturally?
The University of Colorado did a study on dust in over 1200 homes and found 9,000 species of different types of fungus and bacteria. Among these germs, you’ll find what’s causing them is our hygiene, pets, and how well we keep our homes clean.
Fungus and microbes are part of everyday life. There’s a lot you can do to make your home safer. Here are a few hints that will lessen the amount of bacteria and germs in
and around your home.
Fungus found in mold and mildew are common in areas where there is a lot of moisture present. Bathrooms and kitchens are the worst for mildew. Since we live in an area prone to humidity, we are subject to extra mold. These bacteria can trigger asthma, allergies, sinus infections, and flu. Keeping your home free from the mold is important to prevent this from spreading. To remove household mildew, use a vacuum with a brush attachment and first loosen the spores by vacuuming the area. Then use a dishwater liquid mixed with bleach and hot water then scrub the area clean.
If you notice a musty or mildew smell or the area is large, then a professional may be needed. If the mildew is inside of the paint, then ask your local hardware store for paint that can prevent mold from growing.
Your garbage disposal, kitchen faucets, sponges, and dish towels are breeding grounds for bacteria.

You should soak the rubber stopper for the garbage disposal once a week. Use bleach to sanitize this “germy” playground. If you have a metal screen on your faucet, then soak that too. You should sanitize your sponges by putting them in your dishwasher.
Then replace them once a week. Dishtowels are another germ magnet so remember to wash those after every use. These little items can help resist bacteria from growing.
Don’t forget you need to clean your vacuum on a regular basis. If you’re sweeping up pet hair, food particles, and any other germ-infested items, you can assume they’re
having a party inside your sweeper. Change the bags often, if it’s a canister cleaner then take that apart and wipe it down with Clorox and let it air dry. Cleaning will keep the
air in your home from becoming polluted.
While we can’t live in a bubble, it’s good to get into the habit of cleaning these simple household items. The more you work at keeping your home clean, the healthier your
Eco-system will be.
Let the team at ClarityFresh in Boca Raton kill those germs.
