Bacteria - Where They Hide and How to Avoid Them

There are microbes and bacteria all around us. No matter what you do, no matter how much and how often you clean, there always will be some amount of bacteria living in every spot of your house, and of the planet itself.

Many researches have shown that microbes and bacteria love to hide in places where people less expect, and when they find out about that, they are so surprised that can become some kind of cleaning maniacs. The experts from Fantastic Cleaners in Islington have made a short list of the favourite places of bacteria and some guides on how to deal with them.

Playgrounds

Playgrounds are some of the dirtiest places and one of the favourite ones of the bacteria to live in. Samples taken by children playgrounds show presence of blood, urine and saliva. Imagine how much bacteria can live on such places. And as it is a playground, there are many children who love to touch things and put their hands in their mouths after that. To protect your children’s health, always take a pack of wet wipes or antibacterial gels for disinfection and clean your children’s hands several times a day, especially before eating.

Gyms

Professional cleaners have taken samples from the pilates and yoga rugs, as well as the surface of the fitness equipments. Researches show the presence of staphylococcus that cannot be affected by antibiotics. If you use a device, that has been used by an infected person, then you may get contaminated. So, before using any device, wipe it with an antibacterial wipe, carry your own pilates or yoga rug or at least a towel to place it on the public rug to protect yourself. Always take a hot shower after the activity.

Bathtub

The bathtub is a bacteria hatchery, especially if not cleaned and disinfected regularly. There can be found around 50 000 bacteria and viruses on a square centimetre, that you wash off your body while taking a bath. As the bathroom is a damp place with high moisture levels, bacteria and microbes evolve uncontrollably. To reduce the risk of health issues, clean the bathtub with a proper disinfecting product and wipe it completely dry. If a person with skin rashes takes a bath, always disinfect the bathtub after every bath.

You have to be careful when it comes to preventing illnesses. Most of the diseases are caused by unclean places and uncontrolled evolution of bacteria and microbes. So, you have to know how to protect yourself and your family. Always carry a pack of wet wipes in your purse, and wash your hands regularly. Do not forget to keep your home clean and disinfected and everything will be allright.
