Mugs, plates and cutlery

Wash your water bottle at least once a day and if you can not stand it, take it home at the end of each day.

And most importantly: without panic

Despite all that has been said above, exaggerations also have a dangerous side. Because keeping it clean is great, but even that should have a reasonable and reasonable limit so as not to turn the matter into an unhealthy disorder. According to experts, over-cleaning can be just as problematic as an illness, with the extreme case being an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

 

She also adds some tips on how to keep clean, without getting out of hand:

 

• It is important to maintain reasonable care, but not to overdo it. If there are no exceptional circumstances, such as working in a hospital or a medical problem affecting the immune system, there is no reason to take special precautions.

 

• It is enough to wash your hands after the toilet and before eating. Beyond that, use common sense to avoid situations that could be more dangerous: If the joint sponge has not been replaced for a long time and looks filthy, avoid it. If one of the workers sneezes constantly it is advisable not to touch the surfaces he has touched and so on.

 

• If you are aware that you are overly apprehensive, and if you are in a situation where listening to reason means constantly cleaning and avoiding, consult a person you trust to create a realistic scale.
