We often worry so much about the bacteria and viruses on the street that we forget that our home may also be infested with these microorganisms. Therefore we must worry about the correct cleaning of our home. Thinking about it, My Life held, on August 29, a chat with biomedical Roberto Figueiredo, better known with Dr. Bactéria, to clear the doubts of Internet users on the subject. But if you missed this chat, do not worry! We separate the best moments and you can read them below.

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: Always wash clothes after use. Especially the new clothes, the ones you just bought. But you can spend time with her in the house! Do not forget also the bag, one of the most contaminated objects that exist. Sanitize your purse weekly, avoid putting it on the floor, especially at parties or in the bathroom, and do not leave it on tables or in the bed at your home.

Lucia de Fátima dos Santos Silva: I need to change bedding daily, or can I use them more days? How long should I use the pillow?

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: You can change from three to four days. Never get your bed ready when you wake up, at least an hour later, because you must let the night's sweat dry. About 25% of the weight of a pillow over two years old consists of live, dead mites and their waste. Change every two years and prefer the latex pillows to goose down.

Nilda: Would you like to know the best way to take care of the rooms? Both my daughter and I are allergic.

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: Avoid carpeted carpets; do not have books and magazines in the room; change your pillow every two years; change mattresses every 7 years; use for both of them a protector that is impermeable from inside cotton to outside; washable curtains, blind type; avoid stuffed animals; and do not have in your room humidifier, it increases by more than 60% environmental humidity, favoring mites

Luciana: My baby is six months old and everything he puts in his mouth. Should I avoid certain objects or all such as rattle and locals?

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: Do not be extreme with your child, let him come in contact with ground, earth and animals, to create resistance.

Cinthia: Do we have bacteria on the tongue? How many times should we brush it a day?

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: You usually carry two billion bacteria per drop of saliva, but they are good! The hygiene that is made of the teeth also has whether accompanied by cleaning the tongue.

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: Store your brushes in a glass with bristles up and sprinkle a 0.12% solution of chlorhexidine gluconate, which can be handled in specialized pharmacies.

Ana Maria: Doctor, for how long do I have to wash my hands to get rid of the bacteria that transmit diseases?

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: The problem is not the time, which would be at least 30 seconds. But worry more often: wash more than eight times a day and less than 25 times. If you wash more than this, the bacteria increase because the skin on your hand becomes more exposed.

Lucia de Fátima dos Santos Silva: The bath sponge should be used for how long?

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo: You can change every 15 days, the important thing is that each person has his sponge. Use colorful not to confuse! Using a sponge from another person is like using her toothbrush.

Julio: I bathe in the gym every day, can I get some bacteria from the bathroom floor, since several people bathe there too? Roberto Figueiredo:

Mainly if by chance on this floor you have those disgusting plastic frames, which must be removed. How can people avoid the bacteria that causes H. pylori gastritis?

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo:

This bacterium is transmitted by saliva. Avoid contact with dishes used by other people, share food, also avoid kissing a child in the mouth and at the beginning of symptoms seek a gastroenterologist. Lucia de Fátima dos Santos Silva: Should I use more than one dishcloth per day to wipe the crockery?

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo:

A damp dish cloth has about a million more bacteria than a toilet bowl in a public toilet! After wet, change. Jussara Amancio de Paula Silva: How do you clean the wood board used to cut the meat? Roberto Figueiredo:

Use plastic materials and prepare a solution of two tablespoons of bleach per liter of water. After cleaning, play this solution. When the plastic board is very scratched and yellowish, throw it away.

Tereza: I usually wash the eggs with soft sponge, reserved for food, and dry them - before placing in the refrigerator. Is this correct? Eggs - Photo: Getty Images

Dr. Roberto Figueiredo:

Tereza, it is not correct. Never wash the eggs, this causes the bacteria of the shell to pass into the clear and last longer. Put it right in the refrigerator and never eat raw or semicrus eggs.

Maria Conceição: Can work table contain bacteria? What should we do to avoid them? Dr. Roberto Figueiredo:

Yes, it may contain. Avoid eating next to computers, sanitize your computer weekly with isopropyl alcohol and a hair dryer and wash your hands after using the appliances.

Monica: How should I sanitize my cell phone? Dr. Roberto Figueiredo:

A cell comes to have more germs than the sole of a shoe! For this reason, a tissue paper moistened with isopropyl alcohol should be placed on the device weekly. Just be careful not to soak.

João Pereira de Brito: Is the car and house key ring one of the biggest bacteria carriers? Why? Dr. Roberto Figueiredo:

Everything that is very manipulated by us takes bacteria, including the locksmith. After using the object, just wash your hands with soap and water before playing with your children, eating and etc ...
