Health and hygiene go
hand in hand. Here are some super simple things you can do in your own
home to make it more hygienic, and thus healthier, for you and your
family.
Simple tips for a healthier home
1. Dust your house regularly
Dust in the house is one of the primary reasons for many respiratory
diseases and allergies. Keep your home dust-free by dusting regularly (a
damp cloth picks up dust far better than a feather duster), changing
your bed sheets once a week and minimising clutter than can accumulate
unwanted dust.
2. Clean your shower curtain from time to time
If you use shower curtains in your bathroom, remember that they can
be a hot bed for all kinds of bacteria and mould thanks to the mix of
moisture and soap in the bathroom. Wash your shower curtains regularly
to keep them clean. Most of them can be thrown into the washing machine,
along with your towels, so much effort needn’t be put in. (Test your
shower curtain first to make sure it doesn’t bleed colour though – you
don’t want to inadvertently dye your other clothes!)
3. Always flush after putting the lid down
This is really important. Make it a habit to always put the lid down
on your toilet seat before flushing. Tiny particles and water splash out
of the toilet seat every time you flush and you don’t want all those
particles on the other stuff in your bathroom – especially your
toothbrush!
4. Avoid wearing shoes around the house
Removing your shoes and wearing only your home slippers when you’re
indoors is a common practice in many states of India – and a very good
one at that! Why bring all that dirt and filth from outside into your
clean home? Just leave it at the doorstep.
5. Check your LPG gas cylinder pipe regularly
Most LPG gas companies recommend that you change your rubber tubing
at least once in two years. It’s also a good idea to have the person who
changes your cylinder to check your pipe at every visit. A leak in the
pipe is a serious situation and could lead to a fire or much more.
