Home germ-reduction methods suggested
The Haan Corp., which specializes in steam-cleaning products, say steaming home items to 212 degrees Fahrenheit kills 99.9 percent of bacteria just by using water.
To reduce germs at home during flu season, Haan suggests:
-- Blow-dry hair before going to bed because falling asleep with wet hair can create a pillow case full of germs and dust mites.
-- Clean bacteria off toys and wash floors where children play.
-- Logging long hours on the home computer with dirty hands can pass germs from one family member to another. Wipe down computers with sanitizing cloths.
-- A pile of wet hats, gloves and scarves left in a heap by the front door is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, but a handheld steamer can blast away bacteria.
-- Keep hand sanitizers strategically placed in each room of the house for easy accessibility and provide each family member with a travel sized bottle to carry in their purse, backpack or briefcase.
-- Rid mattresses of dust mites by steaming them.
