Everyday top tips for a hygienic, happy home. Hygiene in your home has never been more important but when it comes to keeping your house free from germs, it can seem like an overwhelming task. Pets, children and other family members can make cleaning a real struggle but the good news is, just a little bit of time every day can help stop the spread of bacteria and keep your home healthy. But where do you start? As an all-purpose household towel used to tackle even the toughest of tasks, Regina Blitz’s top tips can help keep germs at bay and the chaos under control. FOCUS ON HYGIENE HOTSPOTS It’s important to look after the areas in your home where bacteria can breed, not just the places that look dirty. The bathroom is an obvious room which needs more attention than most, in particular the toilet, as well as any switches, banisters
and handles throughout your home. Technology is also an area easily forgotten - mobile phones, tablets, remote controls, smart watches and keyboards - often get used by unclean hands so make sure to give these items a wipe down every day. Damp cleaning sponges and cloths can be a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and can easily spread germs around your house. Make sure you clean these regularly on a hot wash cycle and leave them to dry, or use a high quality disposable household towel such as Regina Blitz. Its thicker size means you’ll need fewer sheets to Blitz your house. Lastly, don’t neglect food preparation areas such as kitchen worktops and chopping boards. Wipe these down every day with an antibacterial spray suitable for the material the surface is made from and an absorbent household towel sheet to keep your kitchen sparkling clean.
MAKE A HABIT OF IT Make good hygiene a habit in your home with these simple steps: z Leave your shoes at the door when you come home to prevent outside dirt being transferred inside. z Clean food spills in a Blitz as they happen to prevent stains and stubborn, dried-on mess. z Good handwashing has never been more important, but it’s essential that you’re not using a dirty towel or tea towel to dry them on. Wet hands can transfer germs more easily so dry them thoroughly with a clean towel or sheet of strong household towel for complete peace of mind. z Wash your towels every three to four days at 60 degrees to help eliminate germs and bacteria. z Take control of your fridge by washing surfaces weekly with warm, soapy water and then wiping dry with a super-sized sheet of Regina Blitz. z Keep kids’ toys germ-free with a regular clean, either in the dishwasher, washing machine or with hot soapy water. z Studies show there is more E.coli in a kitchen sink than a toilet so it’s essential to disinfect your sink every day. Use an antibacterial spray to clean food debris away then wipe down with a sheet of extra large Regina Blitz.
