1, toothbrush
We need to brush our teeth every day. Toothbrushes are used every day, and the frequency of use is still very high. The American Dental Association recommends changing the toothbrush at least every 3-4 months. Because the bristles of the toothbrush are used for a long time, they will be damaged and deformed, which will not only affect the effect of brushing teeth, but also cause gum damage. When the toothbrush bends and deforms, it should be replaced in time.
Step 2: towels
The towel looks clean, but there are many bacteria on it. When you wipe your face with a towel, sebum and dander will flow onto the towel, which is often wet, which provides a living environment for bacteria. Bacteria prefer humid and warm environment, so bacteria on towels are inevitable. Towels should be used by special personnel, boiled and disinfected regularly, preferably once every few months, so as to be responsible for the health of yourself and your family.
3. Toilet paper
Toilet paper also has a shelf life, and toilet paper is also disinfected. Some people like to hoard toilet paper so as not to buy it often. However, unopened toilet paper will be polluted if it is placed in a humid or polluted environment, so the toilet paper will not be "hygienic". If you use such toilet paper frequently, how can you ensure your health?
Toilet paper at home needs to be kept in a relatively dry environment. If it is unopened, it can be kept for 2-3 years. However, the toilet paper placed in the bathroom should be separated from dry and wet, so as not to be affected with damp and breed bacteria.
4, dish towel
You should also pay attention to the service life of the dish towel. Imagine that if the dish towel is often wet and cannot be dried in time, it will breed a lot of bacteria. Is it disgusting to wash dishes with such a dish towel? Therefore, the dish towel should be boiled and disinfected regularly and replaced regularly. It is best to dry it after each use, which can effectively reduce the growth of bacteria.
By the way, if there is no disinfected cupboard at home, the washed bowl should be dried naturally, and try not to dry it with a rag. Because it looks clean, in fact, the bacteria on the dishcloth are likely to be contaminated on the washed dishes and chopsticks.
5. Chopsticks
After washing the dish towel, let's talk about the chopsticks we eat every day. Chopsticks are also easy to breed bacteria and should be replaced frequently. Some people like to choose stainless steel products. This kind of chopsticks is less moldy than bamboo chopsticks, but attention should be paid to choosing food-grade stainless steel products.
6. chopping board
Cooking at home, it is inevitable to use the chopping board, which is also where there are too many bacteria. It is best to change the chopping block regularly. If the bar allows, it is best to cut the meat, cooked food and fruit separately. If not, it is best to wash it carefully and dry it after each use.
In fact, there are still many items in our life that need to be replaced frequently, such as sheets and pillows that we use every day to sleep, especially pillows, which are also items that breed bacteria. It is best to replace it regularly.
