Wash your hands. It's the single most important way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We all know we should wash after going to the toilet, but very few people do it properly.   [guest]

Replace cleaning sponges frequently. Sponges and scrubbers provide the warm, moist conditions and trapped food particles on which bacteria thrive. The bacteria can multiply, increasing from a few to millions in a matter of hours.   [guest]

Sponges for use in the kitchen should be kept no longer than a week. Clean them with an antibacterial cleaning product between uses, and then let them dry. Thinner sponges will dry faster.   [guest]

Empty your vacuum cleaner. Dangerous organisms such as salmonella could be multiplying in your vacuum cleaner bag, waiting to be released into the air every time you vacuum. Empty the collection bag at least monthly, or switch to a vacuum with a HEPA filter, which reduces airborne pollution.   [guest]

Disinfect the rubbish bin in your house. It's common for a plastic liner to leak, allowing waste to collect in the bottom of the bin. Then when someone empties the container, the person typically sets the bag on a surface such as the floor, a counter or a chair, spreading the bacteria.   [guest]

Protect your toothbrush. Every time a toilet is flushed, fecal matter and bacteria spray 20 feet in the air. Keep your toothbrush out of the line of fire by storing it in a drawer, cabinet or other enclosed place. You should also sanitize your toothbrush daily by rinsing it with peroxide or mouthwash. Yes, the germs on your toothbrush are your own, but they can multiply to enormous numbers between uses.   [guest]

Close the lid of the toilet before flushing to reduce the spread of bacteria through the aerosol that gets sprayed around.   [guest]

Armpits that emit a very whiffy odour might have hairs clogged-up with sticky grime, which is loaded with bacteria. The usual soaps won't remove it. Try a citrus-based heavy-duty hand-cleaning product.   [guest]
