You’d think, what with it being summer, that the number of coughs, sneezes and other nasties would have reduced. In the good old days of my youth, we would have been chucked outside to play and all that sunshine and fresh air would have seen off any lurking lurgies.
Not so today when screen time takes precedence over outdoor play and it’s a major exercise to get the kids to go outdoors.
Leaving aside the cacophony of snorts, squeaks and nose-blowing from the household’s collective allergies, Ieuan has been languishing with a headache, Caitlin is listless and I don’t seem to be able to sleep past 2:30 am.
It’s time to spruce the house up a bit and get the Milton out. You’ll recall I recently tried a number of great products designed to kill bugs and keep surfaces, and hands, hygienically clean – and now you can win them for yourself.
Ideal if you’re about to hit the road for a camping or caravanning trip or if you just want to make sure the chances of anybody coming down with a bug the night before you travel are minimised. (How often does that happen?).
There’s a great range of Milton products and you can read more about them in my post “How To Stay Healthy On The Road”
Made up with regular tap water, you can sterilise items in just 15 minutes with Milton Sterilising Tablets – great for sterilising baby’s feeding equipment again and again.
Milton Sterilising Fluid can be used to clean a wide range of equipment – anything from camping ear to kitchen equipment.
Around the house you can use Milton 3 in 1 Antibacterial Surface Spray – bleach and alcohol-free – to give a deeper clean for high chairs, changing mats, fridges, worktops, bins and chopping boards.
While Milton Antibacterial Hand Gel. is great for keeping in your bag for times when public toilets are less than pristine. It kills 99.9% of germs in seconds and has an added moisturising agent to protect the skin.
Lastly, Milton Antibacterial Surface Wipes have a ‘no rinse’ and a food-safe formula so you can use them to wipe clean soothers, teats, teething rings plates and cutlery.
Use these on high chairs, potties, changing mats, car seats, and buggy chairs/handles.
You’ll find Milton products at a wide range of stockists including Amazon, Boots, Sainsburys and Ocado.
The bathroom, particularly the toilet and also the kitchen.
the toilet – its very tight against the wall so awkward to clean properly
I commented on Rimless Glasses… review blog.
Mugs, cups, cutlery and crockery. After that cupboard handles, door handles, kettle handle, etc. I think because I am aware that for infection /s ( bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc) can pass from person to person via personal contact, from items people have touched, or made use of.
Personal hygiene :- Suffienet and appropriate hand washing, etc. Use and disposal of paper handkerchiefs, and correct disposal and appropriate hand washing :- For Everyone irrespective of gender / sex, age / ability :- There are some who may require assistance.
Household chores :- Are important for all. Historically unfortunately school education, and a lot of families :- Had separate education. Expectations, etc for male / female. Housework was seen as ‘ Women’s Work’. Hopefully this is No Longer the Situation Though where, when, how, etc is that education and experience provided. We NEED to be Responsible for ourself ( this can vary due to disability, or ill health, so these peopl need assistance). Responsible for others such as :- Baby, Children , Disabled, ill, Older Adult /s, Parental Responsibilities, etc.
So we all NEED to be Aware, Informed, Educated, Experienced, Prepared, Supported, Etc, etc. So that We All Protect the Health of the Nation.
After reading few articles this week I would have to say my kids carseats.

My kitchen because that’s where food is prepared and made

Probably the bathroom there’s nothing grimmer than a mucky bathroom.
The children’s toys, with having so many nieces and nephews I like to keep the toys clean especially as most of them (under 3) still like to put things in their mouths or have dribble hands on them!
I worry about keeping the kitchen worktops and chopping boards super clean.
The edges of the carpet, because little fingers can get in them
The kitchen – don’t want to give us all food poisoning now do i?!
The baby bottles making sure theres absolutely no milk left in there that could spoil
Highchair
Our hands! As much as me and my kids wash our hands after going to the loo. They touch all sorts throughout the day without a second thought, and then putting this, that and the other in their mouth! Anything to give their hands a quick clean is a winner in my book.
The Bathroom Area as It gets dirty so quickly and trying to keep up with it is hard.
I always worry about the kitchen, would hate to give anyone food poisoning
Chopping boards in my kitchen!
The bathroom as always gets dirty quicker with my family
The loo. with 2 males in the house who haven’t heard of specsavers
The kitchen and chopping boards
Definitely the kitchen.
The boyfriend doesn’t seem to understand contamination, raw meat on the work tops without wiping in between. I usually have to follow him around when he Cooks, cleaning as he goes.
Kitchen surfaces are important to keep clean
Baby on the way, and 3 grubby boys already….think Milton is a must!

Toothbrushes because they live in a room where germs can spread easily!
The kitchen! i have a problem with the microwave as even though i always clean it it is still dirty!
Electric toothbrushes! I feel like they’re impossible to keep clean.
Kitchen areas where kids are
the kitchen and bathroom, i dont want to cook or wash in dirty rooms!!
For me it was the baby bottles and feeding equipment. Now my son and daughter-in-law are going to be experiencing it as we welcome our first grandchild next month.

It’s the bathroom for me – if it doesn’t feel clean then I don’t feel clean, no matter how many times I shower.

Definitely the kitchen.
I worry about the kitchen worktops in particular
Kitchen work areas
