Sanitary

When it comes to hygiene, there are some basics that we all need to follow to stay healthy. One of the most important is ensuring our sanitary habits are up to par. This means practising good hand-washing etiquette, proper sanitation methods when cooking and handling food and keeping our living spaces clean. The good thing is, implementing these simple habits into your everyday lives isn't difficult and can make a big difference in your overall health, especially when you have the right tools!

Practical Sanitary Tools and Tips 

Washing Hands Regularly and Often 

You should wash your hands: 

• After using the restroom.
• After handling raw food.
• Before eating or preparing food.
• After coughing or sneezing.
• After coming into contact with someone who is sick. 

Tool: If you don't have access to soap and water, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. It’s an excellent alternative, especially if you’re always on the go. When buying a hand sanitiser, ensure it has at least 75% alcohol to protect you from germs.

Cleaning Surfaces to Prevent the Spread of Germs 

Another way to prevent the spread of germs is to clean surfaces in your home often. This includes countertops, doorknobs, light switches and any other surface you or your family frequently touch.

Tool: To properly clean these surfaces, use sanitary antibacterial wipes or cloth dampened with water and a mild disinfectant. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label of the disinfectant you use. For surfaces that can’t be easily wiped down, such as carpeting or upholstery, vacuum regularly using a vacuum with a HEPA filter. 

Keep Your Pet’s Area Clean and Free of Pet Hair 

Most people know it is essential to keep their homes clean and free of dirt, dust, and other allergens. However, many people do not realise that their pets can also be a source of these allergens. If you have a pet, it is vital to keep your pet’s area clean and free of pet hair to reduce the number of allergens in your home.

Tool: One best way of cleaning your pet’s area is to vacuum regularly by using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Be sure to vacuum not only your pet’s bedding but also any areas where your pet spends time, such as carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture. Keeping a UV light wand steriliser can help, too. It’ll help eliminate any harmful pathogens that are invisible to the naked eye.

Keep Your Living Environment Clean 

Lastly, keeping your living environment clean and free of clutter is essential. A cluttered and dirty home is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and other harmful organisms. Regularly cleaning your floors, carpets, furniture and countertops can help keep your space clutter-free. It’s best to wash your bedding and towels frequently, too. 

Tool: Using a fogger with disinfectant effectively eliminates any invisible pathogens that may affect your health.
