The microscopic underworld in your home
Being surrounded by micro-organisms is perfectly normal as many of them are harmless. Germs are another story. An umbrella term that covers a variety of different harmful organisms, germs include bacteria, spores, fungi and viruses. But don't be alarmed! You can control the spread of germs by the way you clean your home.
Target hygiene hotspots
Detergents are useful for removing visible dirt and also some germs, but when it comes to hygiene hotspots, disinfectant products that kill micro-organisms are needed to make surfaces truly spotless. To make sure your home is hygienically clean, you need to look for a product that kills all types of germs. Many anti-bacterial products are only designed to tackle bacteria – in fact bleach is the only household cleaner that can kill them all.
Banish bacteria
Bacteria are very small, simple organisms which live in just about every environment on Earth. They're everywhere – from toilet seats to dishcloths. But they can be beaten! Regularly soaking your dishcloth in bleach kills germs and stops them from being spread around the kitchen.
Annihilate viruses
On its own, a virus is not a complete living entity; it needs to infect a host cell of a living thing to reproduce. They can lie dormant on dry surfaces for a long time before being picked up by a new host. Some flu viruses have been shown to survive on surfaces like plastic light switches or worktops for between 24 and 48 hours. Domestos Bleach Cleaning Spray is a unique hygienic formulation with a directable nozzle giving you maximum control. And because it's diluted, you can use if on many surfaces around your house.
