Germs in everyday life: The invisible companions

When we think of disinfection, we usually think of hands or toilets – but many inconspicuous everyday objects are real breeding grounds for germs. Things that are used daily, rarely cleaned, and come into contact with many surfaces deserve special attention.

Good to know: With an alcohol-free disinfectant like DESINFACTIVE® , you can clean these objects quickly and gently – without leaving any residue or aggressive ingredients.

Yoga mats & sports equipment

Whether in the gym or at home, yoga mats are constantly in contact with skin, sweat, and sometimes even the floor. Unfortunately, they are rarely cleaned thoroughly.

Why disinfect?

• Sweat and skin flakes form a breeding ground for germs
• Rolling up increases germ growth in moist areas
• Shared use (e.g. in the studio) increases the risk

Application tip: Spray the mat with DESINFACTIVE® after each use and let it air dry.

Dog leashes, toys & feeding stations

Pets bring joy—and also bacteria. Dog leashes, collars, and toys are often left on the floor or touched by multiple hands. Food and water bowls also deserve regular cleaning.

What many people don’t know:

• Leashes are often contaminated (e.g. through contact with the ground, park benches, handles on public transport)
• Pet food attracts bacteria and mold
• Plastic toys can retain germs for days

DESINFACTIVE® is alcohol-free and therefore suitable for sensitive pet noses and paws. Simply spray on and let it dry.

Shopping carts & handheld scanners

Especially in the supermarket, you touch many things that hundreds of others touch every day:

• Shopping cart handles
• Handheld scanners and EC terminals
• Product packaging, freezer handles and touchscreens

Tip: DESINFACTIVE® PURE - 50ml in your jacket pocket – 1-2 sprays on your hands or the handle are enough.

Other surprising uses for disinfection:

• Steering wheels & car seats (especially car sharing & rental cars)
• Cell phones & headphones (often forgotten)
• Children's toys & picture books from the daycare center

With an alcohol-free product like DESINFACTIVE® you can clean these surfaces without harsh chemicals or residues.
