Hygiene
Hygiene
From bathing baby to changing nappies, cleaning the floors to
dirty laundry. Hygiene is important when it comes to babies and
children since they can be more prone to infection while their
immune system builds. Washing your hands is just one easy way to
help prevent germs and bacteria getting to your baby.
Hygiene around the house is also important, for instance, things
such as mildew and mould could contirbute to allergies. You're no
doubt keeping things safe and clean already for your baby's health.
Below are just some areas that you've already considered just to
reinforce your hard work!
Hygiene around the home
• Keep your home ventilated to prevent mildew and mould created by
moisture in the room.
• Use antibacterial disinfectant to clean bathroom and toilet areas
(shower, bath, toilet and outside of bowl, bathroom sink, taps and
plugs).
• Vacuum floors regularly to reduce dust mites (including under
beds).
• Wipe down dusty surfaces with a wet cloth.
• Wash bedding and linen regularly.
• Clean rubbish bin inside and out & avoid leaving it in direct
sunlight.
• Kitchen surfaces are very important to clean for food
preparation.
• Wash your refridgerator with disinfectant while getting rid of
old food.
• Clean up spills and food mess straight away to avoid insects. If
it's on the floor use a handy towel and not your kitchen cloth (an
easy way to spread germs).
