Housewarms are an item that helps housewives clean quickly and effectively. However, pay attention to changing the cotton to ensure the health of family members.
Can contain millions of bacteria
Some studies by the family care website The Spruce show that household mops when used continuously for a long time can contain a lot of bacteria, even more than table surfaces or toiletries. When the cotton is too dirty, the floor will become thick with dirt and harmful microorganisms.
Absorption decreases over time
After a long time of use, the home cotton can be damaged by the fabric, discolored or broken pores, causing loss of absorbency and dirt retention. At that time, the cotton will reduce absorption, leading to stagnant water, not thoroughly cleaning when cleaning the house.
mold, bacteria that easily give birth
Moisturizers should not be completely dried after use, a moist environment will stimulate bacteria and mold to grow, forming an unpleasant odor. Using dirty cotton makes the floor unclean, affecting the air quality in the house.
cross-infection
Using cotton to many areas, especially dining rooms, bathrooms and areas where many people travel, can lead to cross-infection of some pathogens. Therefore, housewives should divide and clean each area and replace the mop periodically (optimal 3 - 6 months) to help protect the health of the family.
