To maintain a clean and comfortable living environment, many people spend time cleaning their homes every day. However, in life, there are objects and areas that, although they appear clean on the outside, actually contain a lot of bacteria and pose serious health risks. Here are four typical examples of things that seem clean but actually contain many hygiene problems.
Shower head
The shower is an indispensable device in the bathroom, serving daily bathing. However, because the shower head’s drainage holes are very small, dirt and impurities easily accumulate over time and easily cause blockages. In the humid environment of the bathroom, bacteria also grow very easily.
This accumulation not only reduces the efficiency of water flow but can also pollute the water source. Bathing with water from a clogged shower can irritate the skin, leading to symptoms such as itching or allergies.
Shower Head Cleaning Tips:
You can use a descaling agent containing citric acid to clean the shower head. Citric acid has the ability to decompose and remove dirt, and also has the function of disinfecting and sterilizing.
First, prepare some warm water and add some citric acid to it. Soak the disassembled shower head in this solution for a few hours. After taking it out, you will see that the dirt and impurities have been removed. The sterilizing effect of citric acid helps to eliminate bacteria, making bathing safer.
Washing machine
Washing machines are essential appliances in many families, helping to save effort in doing laundry. However, washing machines can also accumulate dirt and impurities after each operation. With high humidity, bacteria and viruses can easily grow inside the washing machine.
