House inspection experts point out that if the corners of the home are not cleaned, if you are not careful, you may become a "temperature bed that breeds toxic bacteria." Last month, a Reddit user shared that his child had a stomach upset in the past few months. He thought it was a germ brought back from school. It was not until his grandmother was sent to emergency clinic after visiting, and they found a problem. After the doctor asked if the user had checked the dishwasher, he went home to check and found that the filter network and the gel cloth were filled with bacteria, accompanied by a pungent and strange smell. According to DailyMail, kitchen appliances such as dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave ovens are particularly prone to breeding bacteria and need to be cleaned regularly due to moisture.
Health risks of bacteriaIf the household appliances are not checked regularly or kept dry, moisture will cause bacteria to spread, causing allergies and respiratory problems. Robert Weltz, founder of RTK environmental testing agency, warned that bacteria can spread the entire house from the equipment, bringing long-term health threats. Bacteria only take one to two days to grow, but the odor and weather may take weeks to appear. The CDC notes that 5% to 10% of people will have severe allergic reactions due to bacterial spores, including nasal congestion, throat pain, cough, burning eyes and rashes.
{9 After the human body inhales toxins, the immune system releases a large amount of inflammatory cell hormones, which affects the organs of the body through the blood, and even harms the brain and cells. Potential heat and moisture problemsWilz reminds that it is often hidden behind the sink, behind the refrigerator, in the building and basement. These areas are often not easy to detect before the smell appears due to cooking, bathing or leaking water. The building is wet due to the "smoking effect" and water is often found in the basement, so the walls and heat isolation layers should be checked regularly. Due to heavy humidity in the laundry room, the bottom of the machine and sink should be checked; if the cooling and HVAC are black or the airflow is weakened, it may also be a sign of sterilization.
Prevention and control and professional testingDiscovery and disinfection can be wiped with a cleaner and reduce moisture through a dehumidifier or discharge fan. If the impact is too large, it is recommended to seek professional cleaning companies to deal with it. Wielz pointed out that bacteria are often hidden on the back of the wall or under the carpet, and the household testing kit is unreliable and is best tested by a certified expert to avoid cross-contamination. The U.S. Certification Committee (ACAC) can help find qualified examiners.
