One think that a lot of people tent to over look is cleaning.
I myself am guilty of this.

Sinks, bath, shower ( all of it/just taps)
Over

A lot of these items in the house often seem to be overlooked.
A lot of germs as most of us are aware of from touch contact and transfer and yet it is these main things that we tend to touch on a daily basis that we tend to overlook when it comes to cleanliness.
A lot of the time especially if you work in food industry or any working in establishment they would accept you to clean as you go but again it is something in your own home you tend to be complacent about doing.
One thing I would recommend note however is cleaning your pain after it has been emptied before reusing it this is something that I am aiming to do know that my children are back at school.
I also I'm going to be implementing and no shoes policy in the house.
With regards to cleaning handles fridges freezers and anything in the bathroom I would recommend doing that after every time you use use those items.
Although by doing this you should hopefully reduce the risks of any germ being transmitted having too much of a clean house is not good for the immune system either.
Because natural good bacteria can ultimately end up being destroyed and bacteria that you do want to be destroyed can Wycombe autoimmune to cleaning products.
Also if you are an added cleaner such as my mum you have to think about what is it you're going to use to clean with are you going to use wipes that you throw away which are mainly plastic which then add to microplastics and Plastics in the environment or do you use cloth that can then be washed in your washing machine which again is a risk and adds to energy consumption and ultimately CO2 and greenhouse gases.
Whichever way you look at doing this it is always going to be an outcome to any cleaning that you look at doing around the house I myself use paper towels which I don't can put in a compost bin and then breaks down into compost throughout the year.
I also used cloth that I can wash and I also use Dettol wipes I do not use spray as the chemicals if breeding can cause breathing problems after long-term exposure.
I use this combine way of cleaning in order to try and prevent me constantly using products that are single use Plastics used once and throw away but at the same time you don't want to be cleaning your house only to be harbouring germs and bacteria on the cross that you have used the best option for that is to obviously make sure that you dispose of any cleaning products or wash them as soon as possible.
Otherwise once again you aren't actually cleaning you are just transferring James to another location.
The other thing that I tend to buy a lot of as well is lemon and Limes which again I use because they are a natural cleaning products along with vinegar to clean things such as handles as opposed to buying packets of wipes or sprays which again are ultimately single use plastic and end up 99% of the time in in a landfill.
A x I know a lot of this is teaching your grandmother to suck eggs but everyone is complacent at time and it comes to hygiene especially when you have three little ones running around but now they are back at school I'm in Devon to try and cut down my carbon footprint by using cleaning products that are more environmentally find me to help reduce the amount of wasted but also to prevent any unwanted and unnecessary illnesses that my children and now we pick you up due to being back at school.
