Believe it or not, some of your household items can cause skin infection because we tend to forget cleaning it as we use it in our everyday life. And when not cleaned, these items can have bacteria that can latch to your skin and could cause skin diseases or allergies.
Cleaning these items are important, especially to those who have poor immune system. A simple skin infection or allergy can become very serious later.
Here are some of the household items we use every day and forgot to clean:
Mobile phones. It is believed that an average mobile phone has 25,000 germs per square inch. How huge is that? It’s like 18 times dirtier than a public restroom. It can cause, skin infection, acne and bloodstream infections. How was it acquired? Not all the time our hands are clean.
We hold different items and most of the time we are on the mobile phone. The germs that you acquired from the other things that you hold pass through when you hold your phone.
Always make sure to clean your mobile phones by dampening a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and rub the screen, USB port, earphone ports and phone cases.
Make sure that the rubbing alcohol does not seep into the phone.
Remote Controls. According to the study, remote controls contain 70 bacteria per square inch that can cause common colds. To make sure it is clean, wipe down remote with rubbing alcohol and make sure to get to the top, bottom and sides of the remote as well as the battery compartment. You can use a cotton swab for areas that cloth can’t reach easily.
Toothbrush Holders. Toothbrush holders are most likely situated near the toilet. Flushing of the toilet causes aerosols, containing fecal bacteria that may land to the items near the toilet. These bacteria can cause skin problems and dysentery. To clean the toothbrush holder, rinse out the inside with hot water, use a pipe cleaner to pick up the grime. Fill with anti- bacterial mouthwash for two minutes and then rinse. Lastly, air- dry it.
Hair Brushes and Combs. It is said that 72% of the people do not clean their combs which can cause scalp problems, dandruff and hair loss. To clean it, remove all the hair left on the comb with your finger or toothpick. Soak the comb or brush under a warm tap water. Rib the comb on the brush bristles and gently remove trapped debris. Gently rinse it then dry it with a clean towel.
There are still a lot of household items. All we need to make sure we clean it every now and then to avoid diseases that we can also pass to others.
