This is my third part of blog on spring cleaning your home clutter. In the first part we saw how to clean stove and refrigerator. In this blog you will find some more cool tips clean your shower head and clean blinds in easy way.
Part 1- shower head
Why to clean them?
Two year back a study finds that many showerheads are dirty and may be covering you in a daily dose of bacteria that could make you sick.
An analysis of 50 showerheads from nine U.S. cities found that about 30 percent harbored high levels of Mycobacterium avium a group of bacteria that can cause lung infections when inhaled or swallowed. Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder found the levels of Mycobacterium avium were 100 times higher than those found in typical household water. Researcher found that when we start taking shower we
get a high load of Mycobacterium avium initially. Mycobacterium avium is linked to pulmonary disease, causing symptoms such as a persistent drug cough, breathlessness and fatigue, and most often infects people with compromised immune system but can occasionally infect healthy people.
