Conclusion

Image
Thank you everyone for joining me on this journey of learning about sanitation. I hope everyone has benefitted from my blog posts as much as I have. It is true that sanitation for all is important, and that we should always go the extra mile to practise sanitation. I have definitely realised how much our lives would change with poor sanitation. For example, many diseases would spread, and we would not be able to enjoy using clean and spotless facilities.

Places in our that SHOULD be Sanitised

As we all know, our houses are where we are the most. With that being said, we should always make sure that our houses are clean and sanitised. Here are a few places in our house that we should definitely go the extra mile to ensure its sanitation: KITCHEN Almost everything in the kitchen will end up in our stomach, so we should make sure that our kitchen is properly sanitised and that there are no food left out in the open. BEDROOM Almost half our lives are spent in our bedroom, where we sleep, play and do our work. Therefore, we should make sure that we clean our bedroom at least once a week, and ensure there's no dust or bugs that may cause us any harm. LIVING ROOM Although not as important as the ones mentioned above, we should also take care of the sanitation of our living room as it the place where guests frequently are. It is important that we make sure our guests feel welcomed, and that they leave healthy .

A Letter for All

Dear everyone, It has come to my attention that not everyone is taking sanitation seriously. I find that very upsetting as sanitation is without a doubt in direct correlation with our health.  I've mentioned it in my previous posts, but I'll repeat it again: sanitation is important! It can ensure a healthy, disease-free life, give our country a good image, and allow us to enjoy clean and sanitised facilities.  Without sanitation, one would not be healthy.

We all know how important our kitchen is. It consists of items that will potentially end up in our stomach. With that being said, we should always keep our kitchen squeaky clean and sanitised.  Here are four easy steps to sanitise our kitchen : Always scrub cutting boards with hot water and soap.  Rinse and dry it thoroughly. Never submerge it in a sink of water! Wood is extremely porous, so it will just soak up water, causing the cutting board to crack when it dries.

It is especially good for people with chemical allergies.    Try hydrogen peroxide .  It is a pretty efficient bacteria killer. Use a paper towel to wipe any surface on your kitchen with hydrogen peroxide. Wash your hands after dealing with food. This is especially important when handling raw meat, as t...
