Common things that can provoke frequent ailments

A good housewife in the house is always clean. So we were taught by mothers and grandmothers. After all, before they devoted a lot of time to cleaning, cooking and washing. But the life of women of the last century is different from the life of modern women.

Today, work is added to the household duties of a woman. And it’s not always possible to catch it all at once. In addition, psychologists say that a woman is primarily a person and a person, and it’s okay if a pile of dirty plates accumulate in the sink in a day. Wash in the evening.

But there are places in the house, the purity of which is important to carefully monitor even the busiest housewife. Otherwise, frequent or prolonged illnesses of the whole family will not be long in coming. Or maybe this has already happened?

The reasons

Danger lurks where you least expect it. But of course there are obvious things, for example, smoking. A cleaning assistant can turn into an enemy of health. Sometimes the pollution leading to the disease is not visible, at least with the naked eye. Therefore, it is important to read the list once and remember it. And most importantly - take at least small steps to address the issue of cleanliness. It certainly won’t take much time, but the benefits are enormous.

Not fresh bed 

Tortured by eczema, seasonal allergies and other skin inflammations? Wash your bedding often. Scientists have found that in a week a person loses 15 grams of dead skin. This skin remains on the sheets, where dust mites often live. For these guys, dead skin is a real delicacy. And they are not going to voluntarily leave a tidbit, that is, dirty sheets.

The vital products of dust mites are a real allergen. They cause allergies and skin problems. The prospects are not joyful. Therefore, do not be too lazy to throw a bed into the typewriter once a week. And do not forget to set the temperature to 60 degrees. Dusty guests will definitely not like it.

Outlets, ventilation

How often do you clean the ventilation? And it would be necessary more often, and regularly check it for mold. Scientists still can not come to an agreement, arguing about the harm of dust to human health. But ventilation is designed to ventilate the room, and the dubious benefits of airing through dusty ventilation are dubious.

No one says that it needs to be cleaned every day. But occasionally it is necessary to check its purity. To prevent accumulation of dust and mold. Almost everyone knows about the dangers of the latter.

Old vacuum cleaner

Nothing saves from the crumbs in the carpet like a vacuum cleaner. 10 minutes is enough to vacuum a one-room apartment. And today it’s hard to imagine cleaning without this assistant. But there is a catch here - you also need to remove it.

We are talking about an old appliance or a vacuum cleaner with a dirty filter. During the cleaning process, this unit collects dust from the floor and partially throws it into the air. Doubtful cleaning, even if after that there will be a mopping.

Dust can accumulate harmful particles in itself, and using an old unit, we immediately inhale them. Hence the allergies and diseases for no reason. If there is no way to replace the assistant with a new model - do a general cleaning for him - replace the filters, wash all possible places with a damp sponge. And most importantly - do it more often.

Detergents

Detergents are designed to help us. But only if they are of high quality and we know how to use them correctly. It has long been known that washing dishes, windows, a toilet bowl and other interior items is necessary with gloves, if you use chemical detergents for this.

Many of them may contain harmful components and cause skin irritation, and even burns. Therefore, do not neglect safety rules and save on gloves.

Mold in hidden places

Mold that is not easy to remove, even with special tools. What can we say about hidden mold. She can poison all household members for years and not make herself felt. Check the joints and corners of the wallpaper, the bathroom, especially the narrow openings between the tiles, the basement, if it is a private house. Under the skirting board is also worth a look, especially if your house is rarely ventilated or the ventilation system fails.

To solve this problem, special products are sold with detailed instructions for use. Your task is to detect mold, remove it and prevent it from appearing again. And for this, do not allow stagnation of water, and often ventilate the house, even in winter.

REFERENCE! 1 square meter of mold per day produces several billion spores. They are thrown into the air, deposited on walls and interior items. And we just inhale it all.

Cigarette smoke, second-hand smoke

From school, we know that smoking is harmful. But those who fall for the nicotine hook can ruin not only their health. Passive smoking is much more dangerous. Inhaling cigarette smoke, which contains about 70 carcinogens, can lead to at least asthma. Children are especially exposed to this.

Therefore, if there is a smoker in your family, everyone else involuntarily becomes passive. Even if they smoke on the balcony, smoke still enters the apartment through the cracks, like air.

IMPORTANT! Carcinogens are substances in the environment and food that increase the likelihood of malignant tumors.

Dirty refrigerator

We carefully monitor the cleanliness of dishes, kitchen tables and stoves. And we often forget about the refrigerator. Outwardly, it may look clean, but where food is stored it cannot be only external purity. It is important to remove bacteria and invisible contaminants.

Wipe the shelves and drawers of the refrigerator with soda solution once a week. And arrange a general wash at least 1 time per month. And do not forget about the commodity neighborhood - do not put raw foods on the same shelf as ready-made ones, but washed fruits to unwashed ones. And yes, take a special place for the eggs.

IMPORTANT! Do not store eggs on the refrigerator door. There the temperature is higher than on the shelves. And on the lower shelves it is lower than on the upper. At high temperatures, eggs are stored less. The ideal place is the lower shelf. And first get a special tray with a lid to make it easier to get them out.

Bath mat

The rug in the bathroom is an indispensable thing. It is more pleasant after a shower to become bare feet on it than on a cold tile. But if you get wet feet on the mat, you run the risk of getting mold and accumulating pathogenic bacteria. After all, the material instantly absorbs moisture, but does not dry out so quickly.

Dry your feet before standing on the mat. And do not forget about washing in hot water - at least 1 time per month.

Dandruff and animal dander

Yes, pets also have dandruff. These are fragments of dead skin, and often they remain on fabric furniture or on carpets. This dandruff, along with hair, can cause allergies.

To minimize unpleasant symptoms, wash the floor more often and wipe the dust with a damp sponge.

Old paint

Peeling paint does not look aesthetically pleasing. And if it is also old, it is possible that the composition contains harmful chemical impurities. After all, modern paint goes through a lot of control before it hits your walls. And before, they simply did not know about many harmful components.

If it is possible to make repairs - do not hesitate. And choosing a paint, carefully study its composition.
