The bathroom has long been a place where people relax and enjoy themselves.
However, there may be several objects in this room that pose a danger.
Mold
The bathroom is an ideal environment for various fungi and bacteria. The most interesting thing is that mold starts even in the most scrupulous housewives, because it is extremely difficult to reduce humidity. We can recall several factors due to which mold appears in the bathroom.
- Long bathing in the shower or bath.
- The clothes are drying.
- Poor ventilation quality.
The worst thing is that mold can appear even in inconspicuous places. For example, mold can be found behind a suspended ceiling or in the corner of a bathroom. The danger of fungus is known to many, so it is worth installing high-quality ventilation systems and using air dryers.
Soap scum
Soap scum is invisible, and that's where its problems lie. Soap scum can build up on floors and other surfaces, making them truly dangerous.
There is a simple solution that can get rid of soap scum: use special products. It is impossible to wash off soap scum with ordinary water and a sponge.
Air fresheners
It would seem that what is wrong with air fresheners? They have become indispensable helpers in the home, but there are several reasons to refuse to use them.
- We have to breathe in chemicals every day. And if you look at the composition of air fresheners, their harm becomes obvious.
- Many products contain toxic substances and carcinogens. It is important to pay attention to the packaging, which states: "use in a room where there is no person."
And most importantly, air fresheners do not help in the fight against unpleasant odors, because they simply mask them.
Vinyl linoleum
Vinyl flooring has become popular and in demand. Many people install it in their bathrooms, completely forgetting about its disadvantages.
Vinyl linoleum may contain phthalic acid salt, which begins to be released due to high temperatures and high humidity. Installing such a covering in the bathroom may cause asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Antibacterial soap
Antibacterial soap has become an essential attribute of bathrooms. It is important to pay attention to the instructions for its use.
The main active ingredient is triclosan, which can provoke hormonal imbalances and various allergic reactions. Experts recommend giving preference to regular laundry soap, it is not inferior in its effectiveness.
