Throw dishcloths in the laundry with bleach at the
end of the day. Bleach is a great germ killer. Don't
keep reusing dishcloths over and over, wash them every
day to reduce household germs.
Kill germs on utensils with a disinfectant or put them
in the dishwasher. Keeping kitchen utensils as clean
as possible will greatly reduce household germs.
Make sure to tell your doctor or health care provider
about each and every medication you take to avoid
possible dangerous drug interactions. This includes
herbal and over the counter medications.
Make sure that you can read your physicians prescription.
If you have trouble reading it, your pharmacist may
have trouble also leading to possible medication mix-ups.
Bleach kills germs on countertops, cutting boards and
clothes. But it needs to stay on surfaces for 30 seconds
or more to work thoroughly.
Disinfect countertops, sink and taps with diluted
bleach after raw foods have touched them. Bleach is
an excellent germ killer.
Be sure to ask your pharmacist about possible side
effects or other directions for any new medication.
Find out if there are foods, beverages or activities
you should avoid while taking medications.
Carefully rinse and scrub fruits and vegetables,
especially if eating them raw. This will remove any
pesticide or dirt residue.
Use paper towels instead of dishcloths to wipe surfaces.
They are extremely effective at picking up germs from
common surfaces and can be thrown away immediately.
Hydrogen peroxide eliminates germs on cuts and scrapes
and in the laundry. Since it's gentler on clothes
than chlorine bleach, it's often called the bleach
alternative.
Use separate knives and cutting boards for raw meat,
chicken and fish. Plastic cutting boards instead of
wooden ones are also a good way to reduce household
germs.
