How to Disinfect your home from Cold and Flu bacteria

Is someone in your home down with the cold? Then another person suddenly got sick as well? Chances are, the germs in your house have spread.

By disinfecting your house, you can help to prevent the next victim of flu germs. 

How did these flu germs spread? 

Some of the places in the house that contains the most germs are often the hot spots everyone touched.

Examples of these include doorknobs, faucet levers, appliance handles, etc. Bacteria and viruses can live on these area for as long as 48 hours. 

The next most common areas where there are germs are the bed sheets, pillowcases and blankets. Most people who are sick trend to sleep more.  But before they doze off, they are often sniffing – in bed. For couples who share the same bed, they are indirectly passing on the flu germs to their partners. 

This is often followed by bathroom faucets as the sick one often goes to the bathroom to clean themselves up. 

The phone and TV remote control are two of the most overlooked places where flu germs lurked. If your family share a computer, the keyboard and mouse are also places where flu germs are likely to persist and spread. 

And the last place is the dining table and kitchen. Hey sick people needs to eat too, and when they eat, they are likely to touch the dining table and kitchen. And the next unsuspecting person who touched the dining table will have the germs spread onto their hands.

Grout is the mortar that is used to fix tiles to walls, floors, and even worktops. Grout are usually white in colour. In HDB homes, it grout is present as the space between tiles.

How to Clean your Coffee Machine like a Pro

Something taste weird? 

 My wife is a coffee addict. Every morning, she must get her coffee before she can become ‘normal’. Therefore, I was surprised when my wife approach me one morning with a sour look on her face, “Honey, this cup of coffee tastes bad.” Now, I’m not an avid coffee drinker, but I know a few things.

 One of these things is that coffee is not supposed to taste horrible, especially with a slate of art coffee machine.  I think that’s a given, right? I mean, I forked out several hundreds for a slate of art coffee machine and coffee machine refill packs that is suppose to deliver finest coffee, and it chutes out terrible tasting coffee? 

 I examined the coffee making machine. The situation was not looking good. I could see some brown and black coloured powdery deposits on the inside of the machine. The beautiful new coffee maker that we just bought 3 months ago and was so proud of seemed to have lost some of its lackluster and shine.

 I asked her when was the last time she had cleaned the coffee machine. The response was an unintelligible mumble while avoiding eye contact as she made an excuse and get scrambled out of the kitchen. I took that as a bad sign.

 Well, when the espresso machine chute out coffee that starts to taste funny or horrible, I guess it’s time to give your coffee maker a little clean-up. A simple cleaning should help to maintain freshness and prevent staining. It would also removes mineral buildup and cleans out the coffee residues that was left behind and had turned bad. Best of all, the coffee will back to tasting good. 😉 

 The best news? It’s easy to do and require very little on your part.
