Frequently Asked Questions About Hygiene at Home

Hygiene in our daily lives is one of the most important steps to protect our health. Paying attention to hygiene rules, especially in the home environment, plays a critical role in preventing infectious diseases. However, many people may experience confusion about hygiene practices and correct methods. In this article, we aim to help you reach the right information by addressing frequently asked questions about hygiene at home.

Why Hygiene is Important at Home?

Home is where we spend most of the day and should be the safest environment for our health. However, microorganisms can easily spread from household surfaces, furniture and even shoes brought in from outside. Regular hygiene is therefore essential to protect the health of family members and reduce the risk of infectious diseases

What is the Difference Between House Cleaning and Disinfection?

Household cleaning is the physical removal of dust, dirt and organic matter that accumulates on surfaces. For example, dusting or wiping floors with soap and water is a cleaning process.
Disinfection focuses on neutralising microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses and fungi). Disinfection is especially important for kitchen worktops, bathroom surfaces and frequently touched areas.

Which Areas Should Be Disinfected More Often at Home?

Areas that require disinfection at home are surfaces where microorganisms can easily accumulate. These areas include:

• Door handles, light switches and remote controls.
• Kitchen worktop, sink and cutting boards.
• Bathroom sinks, toilet bowl and shower areas.
• Dining tables and work surfaces.

What should be considered when using disinfectant?

The following points should be considered during the use of disinfectant:

• Follow the instructions on the product label.
• Make sure that the surface to be disinfected is clean.
• Keeping the disinfectant on the surface for the recommended time increases its effect.
• It should be kept out of the reach of children.

What should be done to ensure hand hygiene?

Hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infections. Remember to wash or disinfect your hands when

• Before and after food preparation.
• Following the use of the toilet.
• After I came home from outside.
• Before and after caring for a sick person.

Washing your hands with soap and water is the most effective method. However, if you do not have access to water, you can ensure your hand hygiene by using a product such as Detro Derm Soft Alcohol Based Hand Antiseptic.

What is the Difference Between Natural and Chemical Products for Home Hygiene?

Chemical disinfectants may be more effective for the destruction of microorganisms. The important thing is to use the products correctly and make sure that they do not damage the surfaces.

What precautions should be taken for hygiene in the kitchen?

The kitchen is an area where microorganisms can spread rapidly. To ensure hygiene in the kitchen:

• Disinfect food preparation surfaces regularly.
• Keep raw and cooked food in separate places.
• Change or disinfect dishwashing sponges frequently.
• Take care to cook and store food at the correct temperatures.

• Clean sinks and taps several times a week.
• Disinfect toilet seats and surroundings.
• Regularly wash shower curtains or cabins.
• Change and wash towels frequently.

Which products can be used during disinfection?

Choosing the right products for home disinfection increases effectiveness and reduces the risk of damaging surfaces.
