Health and Home Tip: Always Keep Your Bathroom Clean
Your bathroom and/or comfort room could mean so much to you and your family’s health. It is perhaps the most common source of bacteria and viruses inside the home. Hence, you should always clean it with the right tools and disinfectants like Lysol.
As part of my daily routine, I do the cleaning of the bathroom at home. I do it every night before taking a bath. What I do is I clean the walls of the bathroom and the toilet using detergent soap then I take a bath. After my bath, I apply disinfectants before going to bed (if I plan on sleeping, lol!)
Some friends call this habit of mine bath vanity. I want the bathroom clean at all times. I am not a paranoid but I can count the few times I did not do this household chore in the past 3-4 years. For a short history of “vanity”, Wikipedia describes vanity as “the excessive belief in one’s own abilities or attractiveness to others. In many religions vanity is considered a form of self-idolatry, in which one rejects God for the sake of one’s own image, and thereby becomes divorced from the graces of God. The stories of Lucifer and Narcissus (who gave us the term narcissism), and others, attend to a pernicious aspect of vanity.”
In modern times, vanity can also refer to the habit of keeping something clean and beautiful, not necessarily just the self.
Bath vanities can take other forms like wanting a clean shiny bathtub at all times. It can also be spraying deodorizers every few hours. I’m pretty sure some moms out there do that.
Whatever vanities you have in your bathroom, bear in mind that you’re not just doing it for aesthetics. The health side of maintaining a clean bathroom counts more than the aesthetics side. It’s a plus if you have new bathtubs, fancy sinks and shiny toilet bowls, etc. but it is more important to safeguard your family’s health above anything else especially when you have kids around and one of the many ways you can attain this is to keep your bathroom clean and disinfected.
