Proper Soap Storage: Preventing Bacterial Breeding and Protecting Health

February 14, 2024

The use of soap in daily life is very frequent, but perhaps you have been misled by the wrong way. Improper storage of soap can easily breed bacteria, which not only fails to achieve the purpose of cleaning, but also harms health. Let's take a look at it together with the editor!


Hygiene of Soap in Public Places

Generally speaking, in public places like public restrooms, if there are no other cleaning products available other than soap, it is important to rinse with tap water before using soap. The washing time should be 20-30 seconds.

When washing hands, make sure to wash from both sides to the wrists, and don't forget the area under the nails, where dirt is most likely to accumulate.

As long as the hand washing time is long enough, the bacteria on the soap will also be washed away.

Proper Storage of Soap

Bacteria tend to appear on soap that becomes sticky due to being wet by water.

By taking some simple actions, you can avoid the harm caused by bacteria on soap, such as rinsing with tap water before using soap.

Store the soap in a dry place, especially not in a damp bathtub.

A dry environment can ensure that bacteria cannot breed and reproduce.
