Defeating germs in the household isn't about trying to kill every last one of them - that's quite simply impossible in real life. It's about getting rid of as many as possible from places where there's most risk of germs both being present and spreading. That's known as targeted hygiene.
Although the toilet bowl is often thought of as the "germiest" place in the bathroom, it's the places that we take less care over which can be more important in helping to stop the spread of infection.
The germs lurking on the bathroom door handle need to be dealt with just as much as those hanging out inside the toilet bowl - they also lurk on flush handles and taps. None of them are a match for Domestos.
Regularly (preferably once a day) pour neat Domestos around the inside of your toilet bowl and into the water, and don't forget to squirt under the rim. Wipe the side of the toilet and the seat with Domestos Bleach Cleaning Spray. A regular squirt of neat bleach down the plug holes & overflows will annihilate germs and bad smells.
If somebody in the house is sick the toilet should be disinfected every time they use it - a typical poo can contain up to 100 billion potentially disease causing organisms some of which end up in the air and on the toilet after flushing - even if the lid's put down.
However cuddly they may be, cats and dogs can carry germs from outside into the home on their paws and then drop off these unwelcome hitchhikers onto the surfaces they walk on inside - if your cat walks on the kitchen work surfaces, make sure you clean them thoroughly before preparing food. Cats and dogs have also been found to be a source of salmonella. Clean up after any "accidents" by removing any solids safely and then cleaning the area with bleach.
Thankfully you can trust Domestos to protect you and your furry friends: a few squirts of Domestos Bleach Cleaning Spray & a rinse quickly disinfects feeding bowls, plastic beds, hutches, bedding trays and litter trays - as well as any grooming equipment like combs and brushes.
Most people still think that the majority of tummy bugs are picked up at cafes and restaurants but in actual fact 80% of food poisoning is caused by poor food hygiene within the home!
Dish-cloths are notorious for harbouring & transferring germs. They provide ideal conditions for bacteria to grow as they tend to be left wet and have bits of food in them so the bacteria can snack and then multiply. Finish them off by regularly soaking them in a bowl of water & a good squirt of Domestos Thickest Ever Bleach.
Regularly clean the sink with Domestos Bleach Cleaning Spray, it disinfects & leaves both stainless steel or ceramic sinks really shiny. Don't forget a quick squirt of neat Domestos down the plug hole followed with a rinse of water will wipe out germs and revolting smells.
Keep control of your work tops and prevent germs spreading from one surface to the next: clean them all with Domestos as you go and use a separate chopping board for raw meat. Above all don't wipe the surfaces down with the dishcloth once you've finished the washing up - all the germs you've tried to wash away will end up straight back on the work-surface again. Keep a separate cloth or use something disposable like kitchen roll.
When you're emptying your bin, before changing the bag remember that a few squirts of Domestos Bleach Cleaning Spray followed by a quick rinse will leave germs dead & get rid of revolting smells. Don't forget the outside of the bin too!
Any dustbin is a battleground for germs. Unleash Domestos on the bin to stop those nasty smells especially in the hot summer months.
Remember the green gunk that's been growing on your garden furniture over the winter is mould, and mould is another type of germ - you can get rid of it with Domestos Bleach Cleaning Spray.
If you have children don't forget to clean their toys regularly - especially the ones they can't resist putting in their mouths.
