Clean homes and offices are essential for maintaining proper hygiene as well as good health care of the complete household and work spaces as well. In the current times, a lot of impetus is being laid on the cleanliness of homes and offices. In most cases, we don’t realize the importance of a clean and healthy environment and more intentionally of our surroundings.
At home your kids may not always listen when you tell them to wash their hands before eating, but it’s a message that is worth reiterating. Hand washing is by far the best way to prevent germs from spreading and to keep your kids and yourselves from getting sick. Same holds true at your work place, where meeting and greeting colleagues and customers can get you to shake hands multiple times during the day. A single touch of your contaminated hands to your face or mouth could be enough for a harmful bacteria or virus picked up from other people to take seat and spread illness. Droplets released during a cough or a sneeze or your contact with contaminated surfaces or through a sick person’s body fluids are also enough for germs to be transmitted.
