Your home could be a health hazard. It’s quite likely an army of harmful germs have invaded and colonised your home. You and your family could be at risk of picking up a nasty infection from bacteria, viruses or fungi that have taken up residence. You need to act quickly if you want to stay healthy. Focus your attention on the germ hotspots: cleaning cloths, the chopping board, the kitchen sink, the toilet, the bath and basin, and the dustbin.

 

20 to 29

 

Your heart just isn’t in it. The fight against infectious diseases such as MRSA and E. coli starts at home. You need to focus on targeting germ hotspots such as kitchen cleaning cloths to break the chain of cross-contamination, so you can reduce the risk of transmitting infections. Do a little cleaning every day, to keep on top of the chores and cut your risk of infection.

 

10 to 20

 

You've got the right idea. Your home could look clean and tidy but are you doing enough to keep the germs at bay? Bacteria, viruses and fungi carry disease and only targeted hygiene will protect you from infection. Targeted hygiene means getting rid of as many germs as possible, where and when there’s a risk of them spreading and causing infection.

Well done, you're a hygiene highness. You’ve got high standards of cleanliness. Not only does your home look and feel clean and tidy, it is also hygienically clean. By doing a little cleaning everyday and focusing on the areas most at risk of harbouring germs, you're reducing your risk of picking up a nasty infection. Keep up the good work.
