The best way to deal with disease is not to treat it but to prevent it, and some strategies are rather simple. For example, experts agree that good personal hygiene is vital to preventing the spread of disease. Another critical component is hygienic cleaning of environmental surfaces, especially those that come into direct contact with skin. In fact, the more we understand about disease and how it is transferred, the clearer the importance of cleaning becomes. That’s why so many environmental scientists consider it the first line of defense against infectious disease.
However, not all cleaning tools and methods are alike and not all achieve healthy results. It’s important to understand the dangers of cross contamination and the tendency for many tools and processes to actually spread the problem. In fact, a growing number of environmental scientists maintain that it’s actually better to not clean than to clean using ineffective methods.
