Bathrooms are often places with high humidity and lack of natural light, which is also ideal due to bacterial growth. Therefore, housewives should pay attention to cleaning some items in the bathroom regularly to help protect the health of the whole family.
Toothbrush
A toothbrush is an item with a high risk of infection due to a lot of contact with the damp space of the bathroom. The fact that the brush bristles are always damp or accumulate water is also a cause of affecting the respiratory tract or mouth cavity infection. Therefore, the brush should be placed in a dry and ventilated position, the tip of the brush facing upwards and needs to be replaced periodically every 3 months of use to ensure hygiene.
In addition, the toothbrush holder is also an easy place to form a biological membrane containing E. coli bacteria and mold. Therefore, this is also an item that needs to be carefully brushed regularly with soap and rinsed with water to be really clean.
Towels and face towels
Wet towels and face towels are very easy to become an ideal habitat for bacteria. This is very easy to cause acne and folliculitis on the skin. Hanging towels or face towels in the closed space of the bathroom will make humidity difficult to evaporate, leading to odors and mold development.
Housewives should wash towels periodically every 2 weeks and then dry them in sunny or airy areas. Washing towels and drying them will help reduce mold or bacterial growth, keep towels always clean, fragrant and ensure safety for the skin.
Trash can
The trash can is where garbage such as cotton balls and wet paper is stored. With closed bathroom spaces, these waste will quickly cause odors as well as become a breeding ground for many bacteria.
Scrub the trash can with antiseptic solution or javel detergent to clean bacteria and germs clinging to the surface. After washing, it is necessary to let the trash can dry thoroughly before lining a new trash bag. At the same time, prioritize using trash cans with closed lids to help minimize odors and ensure cleanliness for the bathroom space.
