How do bacteria and allergens build up in everyday items

Know how you carry your favourite bag every day to the grocery or to your office? Maybe you wear the same shoes each day for your jog around the block. The curtains are beautiful but have remained unchanged or unwashed for a long time. All these are everyday items that have the ability to attract bacteria and allergens when you don’t attend to them regularly. But how do these build up?

Accumulation of dirt, grime, and bacteria

When you clutch your favourite bag or wear your sneakers every day, you tend to transfer dirt from your hands and body onto them. For instance, Staphylococcus aureus, a common bacterium found on human skin or in faecal matter, can settle on items.

The environment contains airborne pollen, dander, and spores that float easily and settle on curtains and carpets. This leads to fading and damage of the materials if you don’t clean them consistently.

Bathroom surfaces, dish sponges, and kitchen sinks are damp areas that carry bacteria and mould. You can also expect a resuspension of dust when people move, causing allergens in the air to shift and settle on curtains, carpets, and other surfaces. (You need a vacuum or air filter to inhibit these.)

Carpets, curtains, and other furnishings are high accumulation areas where large amounts of dust, dander, and even human skin collect. Some of them are hotspots for germs – for instance, placing your remote on the sofa with unwashed hands can attract harmful microorganisms. If you have pets around the house, you can expect fur, saliva, and other outdoor bacteria (as the pet moves outside and in) to accumulate on carpets and the hem of the curtains.
