House cleaning

Postby Sez123** » Fri Mar 09, 2018 8:22 am

Hi again

I’ve been reading how bad “anti bacterial”products are and I’m horrified. Especially since c diff I went to but anti bacterial hand washes , ab household cleaning sprays etc only to be now told they’re not good.


Ok so my question is
- What do you recommend I use to wipe down kitchen benches , baby’s high chair etc??

I’ll be getting rid of anything that says Triclosan in it.

To clean door knobs etc? Diluted bleach ok??

I have a germy toddler at home so I do need to clean/disinfect to avoid her passing it onto my newborn and myself :)

You can do a 1-10 solution of water and bleach, also on Amazon there are Clorox germicidal wipes that kill C. diff spores. During the infection I would wipe everything down at night after the kids went to bed b/c the smell is strong.

I don’t bleach nearly as much as I did, but I do still use the bleach wipes on high chairs, changing areas, bathroom, touch points and kitchen counters. Everything else I use soup and water or Meyer’s cleaning spray. How are you doing?? I remember your infection started last November
