The toilet rim is far from the dirtiest place in the house.

Next time you clean, pay attention to the places listed below: they are real breeding grounds for germs and bacteria.

Shower curtain

A room where humidity and warmth are a paradise for bacteria. The bathroom meets all these requirements. Vinyl shower curtains contain the most harmful microorganisms, so it is recommended to change them every month, and also take proper care of them – dry them in a straightened form after each use of the bathroom.

By the way, when choosing between vinyl and fabric curtains, give preference to the latter - they are less susceptible to bacteria, and care consists of regular machine washing every two weeks.

Shower head

No less harmful microorganisms accumulate on the inner surface of the shower head.

To prevent them from getting on your body with a stream of water, disinfect it every week using a soda solution or a special product.

Ventilation grille

Another "tasty morsel" for bacteria is the ventilation grille, which inevitably becomes covered with dust during its use. As a result, it can provoke the appearance of a cough or even asthma.

To prevent this from happening, clean the grill with soapy water and an alcohol wipe as it gets dirty.

Computer keyboard

There is an opinion that if you shake out the keyboard, you can eat a whole cookie, and this really has a right to exist, because many of us like to snack on the computer. In addition to crumbs, dust gets clogged between the keys, thereby creating favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria.

Clean your keyboard regularly with a vacuum cleaner or special cleaner.

Cutting board

The cutting board is a source of dangerous bacteria that gets there during the process of cutting raw food.

To avoid risking your own well-being, use glass boards for fish and meat, and wooden boards for other products. And don't forget to regularly treat them with vinegar, soda, hydrogen peroxide or other antiseptics.
