Kath + Belle knows how pervasive bacteria can be—even in the comfort of our own homes. The places where we’re supposed to feel the most comfortable might be the same places where most germs lurk. As a parent, it can be challenging to juggle all the household errands. We even purchase parenting tools and parenting products to make our cleaning tasks easier. Sometimes, however, sticking to mediocre products is not enough to keep the germs at bay; you might have to buy the best products to shoo the germs away and keep your baby healthy and happy.
According to a study, there are 340 types of bacterium found observed 30 household objects in “high-touch locations. Such bacteria include fungal toxins which can be typically found in air conditioning units. Fungal toxins have negative effects ranging from irritation of mucous membrane to suppression of the immune system and cancer. Furthermore, the National Sanitation Foundation concluded that the kitchen had more bacteria and fecal contamination compared to other places in the house. Cleaning materials such as dish sponges and rags have Salmonella, E. coli, and fecal matter.
We at Kath + Belle do our best to produce valuable, toxic-free and, well-researched products. Moreover, we make our baby skincare products as gentle as possible— the way every baby skincare products in your list should be. Kath + Belle’s products are also inclusive for those with sensitive and eczema-prone skin that truly delivers.
Kath + Belle Parenting Tips to Shoo Away the Germs
Kath + Belle listed all the effective parenting tips to keep the germs at bay. Make sure to take notes because these are indeed handy in your parenting journey.
- Always keep your kitchen items clean
Salmonella, E. Coli, and fecal matter lurk in more than 75% of dish sponges and rags, they need to be changed frequently. Not just sponges and rags, by the way, cutting boards, coffee maker, kitchen sink, and refrigerator need to be frequently cleaned too. Use Kath + Belle Organics Disinfectant to wipe faucet, refrigerator surfaces and countertop. Kath + Belle Organics Disinfectant is specifically formulated with 100% plant-based ingredients. Plus, the organics content is developed in the USA which kills 99.99% of germs, fungi, and viruses in just a snap.
- Change your bedsheets at least once a week
It’s no surprise that bedrooms are one of the places where germs congregate because this is where we spend most of our time. Since we—even babies— shed dead skin cells on the bedding, we need to wash our bedding in hot water at least once a week. Using Kath + Belle Safe Clean Laundry, pour directly onto the fabric and rub. Add the item immediately to the washer. Another parenting tip is to use more of the Kath + Belle product for larger or heavily soiled fabrics.
- No shoes in the house
Shoes are cradles for bacteria. E. Coli is one of the most common bacteria that stick underneath your shoes; did you now that it is one of the main causes of gastrointestinal disorders? Shoes pick up toxins from grasses that are covered in lawn fertilizer, too. That’s why you need to establish that no-shoe policy at home. You might as well buy a doormat that says, “No shoes inside the house, please!”
- Make hand-washing fun!
Most kids tend to skip their hand-washing routine because they find it boring. One good trick to make hand-washing fun is to get into the habit of singing a song while your children wash their hands. Squirt Kath + Belle Handwash (Tea Tree, Lemon & Spearmint) liberally on hands, sing a nursery song, rub thoroughly, and rinse off with water. This product is safe to use even for baby skin.
- Clean the toys regularly
As part of aftercare, teach your kids to spray Kath + Belle Hand Sanitizing Mist on the surfaces or toys that need to be disinfected. The Kath + Belle Hand Sanitizing Mist is perfect in keeping their toys clean, fresh, and germ-free. Good thing is that this Kath + Belle product is alcohol-free— which means it won’t dry out your skin— so rest assured that it’s safe for babies too.
