Chúng ta thường lơ là việc vệ sinh một vật dụng quan trọng trong phòng tắm, điều này có thể ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến sức khỏe của chúng ta. Điều quan trọng là phải thường xuyên vệ sinh chậu cầu vì chúng lưu trú vi khuẩn và vi trùng có thể gây hại cho sức khỏe của chúng ta. Chậu cầu thường là nơi ấp ủ cho nhiều loại vi khuẩn khác nhau, bao gồm cả E. coli, có thể gây nhiễm trùng thực phẩm và các bệnh khác. Không vệ sinh chậu cầu thường xuyên có thể dẫn đến vi khuẩn có hại lan ra các bề mặt khác trong phòng tắm của bạn, đưa bạn và gia đình bạn vào tình thế nguy cơ mắc bệnh.
Ngoài nguy cơ về sức khỏe, một chậu cầu bẩn cũng có thể góp phần vào mùi hôi khó chịu trong phòng tắm của bạn. Quan trọng phải thiết lập một thói quen vệ sinh đều đặn cho chậu cầu của bạn, sử dụng chất tẩy rửa sát khuẩn và cọ xát kỹ lưỡng để loại bỏ bất kỳ cặn bám và vi khuẩn tích tụ nào.
Vì vậy, lần sau khi vệ sinh phòng tắm, đừng quên kiểm tra chậu cầu của bạn. Sức khỏe và sự phồn thịnh của bạn phụ thuộc vào điều này. #TomGuide

We often overlook cleaning one crucial item in our bathrooms, which could have a negative impact on our health. It is essential to regularly clean our toilets as they harbour bacteria and germs that can be harmful to our well-being.
Toilets are often a breeding ground for various types of bacteria, including E. coli, which can cause food poisoning and other illnesses. Not cleaning your toilet regularly can lead to the spread of these harmful bacteria to other surfaces in your bathroom, putting you and your family at risk of getting sick.
In addition to the health risks, a dirty toilet can also contribute to unpleasant odors in your bathroom. It is important to establish a regular cleaning routine for your toilet, using disinfectant cleaners and scrubbing thoroughly to remove any built-up grime and bacteria.
So next time you’re cleaning your bathroom, don’t forget to give your toilet the attention it deserves. Your health and well-being depend on it.
Our bathrooms are one of the most used spaces in the home, which is why it’s so important to keep it sanitized, fresh and spotless. But while we all have our own deep clean routine, you might be forgetting this one thing to clean in our bathroom — that could be bad for your health. And before you assume they’re the obvious places such as behind the toilet or even your toothbrush — you’ll be mistaken.
According to experts, you should never forget to wash your showerhead. Surprisingly, your showerhead could turn into a breeding ground for harmful bacteria such as Mycobacterium avium, a potentially harmful organism linked to a type of lung infection known as nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM).
“Showerheads provide a moist and warm environment that is conducive to the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi,” says Daniel Weston, spokesperson for Plumbworld. “Over time, a biofilm—a complex structure of microorganisms—can develop, acting as a protective layer for bacteria to thrive.”
Essentially, this slimy biofilm that sits in the showerhead can get released into the air, only to be inhaled through steam during a shower. Worryingly, this exposure to pathogens on a regular basis could cause tuberculosis, and other respiratory infections, especially for those with existing lung conditions or weakened immune systems.
“When the shower is used, water disperses the bacteria as tiny droplets, which can be inhaled into the lungs, leading to infections. This mode of transmission is particularly efficient in enclosed shower spaces, where water aerosols are more likely to be breathed in. Biofilms can also promote the development of antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat.”
In fact, research carried out by the American Society for Microbiology discovered mycobacteria found in the biofilms in hundreds of showerheads across the States. Which just goes to show that it’s a common bathroom cleaning mistake most people tend to make — and in most cases, totally oblivious to the serious health risks.
With the dangers of not cleaning showerheads in mind, it’s important to know how to clean a showerhead. In addition, forgetting to clean your showerhead can lead to a build-up of limescale and soap scum over time, especially if you have a hard water supply. And if you want to avoid this unsightly, chalky deposit in your bathroom, there are some ways to prevent limescale in your shower.
“While it’s easy to overlook the showerhead during routine bathroom cleanings, its maintenance is crucial for health,” agrees Wilson, “Beyond the essential cleaning steps, consider incorporating the habit of running hot water through the shower for a minute before use. This simple practice can help flush out any stagnant water that could harbour bacteria. Additionally, improving bathroom ventilation can significantly reduce moisture levels, further discouraging biofilm formation.”
Top tips when safeguarding your showers
Soak the showerhead in a vinegar solution — First, create a solution of 50/50 white vinegar and water in a basin or small bucket. Then remove the showerhead and soak for about 30 minutes. White vinegar is a natural cleaning solution, stain remover and descaler, and its acidity helps to remove the biofilm. “Detach the showerhead and soak it in the vinegar solution for about 30 minutes to an hour. For fixed showerheads, a bag filled with vinegar solution can be tied around the fixture to soak.”
After the solution has got to work into the showerhead, use an old toothbrush or a small brush to scrub the nozzles and the surfaces to remove any remaining biofilm and mineral deposits, until it’s clean and spotless. Finally thoroughly rinse the showerhead with water before allowing it to air-dry completely before use.
Invest in an antimicrobial showerhead — Another option is to buy an antimicrobial showerhead, designed with microban antimicrobial technology to keep shower nozzles free from bacteria, pathogens and even mold between cleanings.
“To further safeguard your bathroom environment, it’s also advisable to invest in a showerhead with antimicrobial coatings. These specially designed showerheads are treated with substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew, adding an extra layer of protection against potential pathogens. By adopting regular cleaning practices and being mindful of the conditions that promote bacterial growth, you can ensure your shower remains a place of rejuvenation, not risk.”
You can find such showerheads in your local home store or online like this AquaDance Antimicrobial – Anti-Clog High-Pressure 6-Setting Shower Head ($9, Amazon), that has anti-clog nozzles.
Regular use of showers — If you enjoy daily showers, rather than baths, this can also help reduce the growth of bacteria. “Regular use of showers can also help mitigate the risk by preventing water from stagnating, which discourages bacterial growth. Ensure good ventilation in the bathroom to reduce moisture levels and further discourage the development of biofilms.”
In addition, it’s recommended to always clean and disinfect showerheads at least once a month to prevent biofilm build-up. This will also prevent the risk of future illnesses, or the likelihood of worsening existing conditions.
