Bathroom: your bathroom is a haven for dirt and bacteria because of the moisture it regularly contains. Ensure you towel down any excess moisture following showers or baths. Replace toothbrushes regularly and store them away from any spray from your toilet flush.

Kitchen: The kitchen is a breeding ground for germs thanks to changing temperatures, moisture and food being prepared and cooked. You should always thoroughly wash and disinfect the sink area. Cloths should preferably be disposable, while tea towels should be regularly wash.

Home PC: The home office is another hotspot for dirt and bacteria. Your keyboard can become a resting place for crumbs and other dirt. Use a handheld vacuum on the keyboard and wipe it down with disinfectant wipes the Azo Wipes from Premier Healthcare and Hygiene are a great option as they can kill bacteria in under a minute.

Childrens room: Any room where children play will be a hub for bacteria and dirt. Carefully monitor for any spills and wipe them away with disinfectant. Mop down the floors or clean the carpet with a specialist detergent.
