Not much was known about the transmission of disease before the 1800s when scientists began to prove that microorganisms caused things like food spoilage.
Since then, the enormous benefit of hygiene in preventing the spread of disease-causing organisms (‘pathogens’) has come to be understood. Improved hygiene has helped contribute to a reduction in infectious diseases and increased life expectancy.
Good hygiene in the home helps to prevent the spread of organisms that can cause disease, and was a strong focus of controlling the COVID 19 pandemic. Living in clean surroundings can also help you feel good about yourself and about life in general.
Cleaning products that are designed specifically for the home achieve two important goals.
First, they help keep your living areas, food preparation areas, bathrooms, bedrooms and clothing clean, hygienic and comfortable. A clean home can be a more relaxing place to unwind, or to welcome and entertain guests.
Second, they give time back to you.
Some people enjoy cleaning, it’s true. But probably most would prefer to be doing something else.
Cleaning products are designed for specific jobs. Like bathroom cleaners that remove soap scum. Stainless steel cleaners that clean sinks and stovetops without damaging the surface. Kitchen ‘spray-and-wipes’ that cut through grease. Products like these are designed to be fast and effective, so you can get the cleaning done efficiently and get back to [insert favourite pastime]. (Or, let’s face it, more likely other household chores, work or parenting.)
