Why is it so important to kill germs in your home?
No matter how frequently you clean, germs can easily build up on the surfaces in your home. From bacteria to viruses, there are a range of household germs that can make you, your partner or your children sick.
Luckily, there are a variety of specifically-designed products which can kill germs on a range of surfaces around your home.
First, let’s take a look at some of the key places germs can build up in the home.
Where are germs in the home?
Knowing where the germs will be is the first step in preparing to clean and disinfect the surfaces in your house.
To find out where germs are lurking, think about the surfaces around your home that you touch every day. Places like your apartment entryway, dining table, kitchen counters, and faucets in your bathroom are all high-touch, high-traffic surfaces which germs love. Germs can also build up on smaller objects that we use every day, like kids’ toys, dog toys, and remote controls.
Bacteria and viruses can easily accumulate in these germ hotspots, so you’ll need to take the time to make sure you properly disinfect these areas in particular.
What is the best way to kill germs?
People turn to bleach-based products to clean and disinfect our homes. While these can be an effective solution, bleach has some drawbacks, such as its harsh smell, and it may not be appropriate for use on some surfaces.
Luckily, there are many disinfectants that are not made with bleach, such as FamilyGuard™ Brand products, that still kill germs.
