5. Using antibacterial wipes on food

Since 2020, everybody has started to be more careful about their health; that’s why antibacterial wipes have become a thing. Easy to carry in the bag or purse, wet wipes were a necessity. Now, the thing is that they aren’t always used for the right purpose.

Disinfectant wipes, as opposed to regular tissues and clean fabric, include chemicals and other substances that might be dangerous if unintentionally swallowed. Generally speaking, cleaning surfaces that your food will come into contact with or touch cannot be done just using disinfectant wipes. Other objects can be cleaned with this kind of cleaning solution, but not food.

If you use them to clean your hands before eating, it’s okay, but never use antibacterial wipes to clean your entire house since it’s one of the cleaning habits that do more harm than good!
