A healthy bedroom environment not only keeps us in a good mood, but also benefits our health. In addition to our daily cleaning and cleaning, some things should be thrown away in time. Here are five hidden "killers" in our bedroom. Let's see how much you know about them.
Plastic bottle with '3' or '7' on the bottom
Many people like to pile up used plastic containers such as beverage bottles at home and sell them after saving them to a certain amount. Others are used to reusing some plastic containers. However, this seemingly environmentally friendly approach may have hidden health risks. Some plastic containers with numbers 3 and 7 in the bottom triangle usually contain bisphenol A (BPA). With the aging of plastics, heating in microwave oven or exposure to the sun, bisphenol A is easily released, polluting food and environment, and endangering health. Therefore, if you have plastic containers at home, you may as well dispose of the bottom with 3 and 7 in time, or put them in a cool and ventilated place, let alone reuse the disposable plastic containers.
Hazardous wastes such as batteries, spray cans, etc.
Discarded spray cans, batteries, oil tanks, antifreeze, various air freshener containers and paint barrels may release formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful substances. Putting them at home will always threaten family health. If these substances have not been used up, they must be sealed and put on the ventilated balcony; if they have been used up, try to dispose of their containers in time, rather than stacking them indoors for a long time, especially in the bedroom, living room, study and other rooms where the family often stay, so as to avoid pollution of the home environment.
Expired cosmetics
Cosmetics (especially eye cosmetics) are easy to breed harmful bacteria once expired. Once the product is found expired, it is not only unable to continue to use, it is better to dispose of it in time, and do not stack it in the dresser or cosmetic bag. In particular, mascara is the shortest storage period, only 2-3 months, lip gloss for 6 months, we should pay attention to see whether expired.
Deformed pillow
Pillows that have been used for more than 18 months may contain a large number of fungi, dead skin and dust mites, and continued use is likely to cause or aggravate allergies, asthma, sinusitis and other diseases. Usually should often clean, including pillow core also want to thoroughly clean, insolate. The pillows with serious deformation should be replaced in time. The pillows can be folded in half, squeezed and vented. If the pillows can't bounce back after releasing, it means that the pillows should be replaced.
Kitchen sponge and dishcloth used for two or three months
Kitchen sponge cloth should be changed frequently. According to Dr. Philip middot Tierno, a microbiologist at New York University, the kitchen has the largest amount of bacteria in most American families. In order to reduce pollution, sponge and dishcloth can be put into the container and a little water can be added every day, put into the microwave oven and sterilize at high temperature for one minute. After two or three months of use, it should be replaced in time.
