Apply a clean and healthy behavior in daily life is a factor that is necessary to maintain the health of the family. One of the strategic objectives of gravity of health development in 2010-1014 is increased Behavior Clean and Healthy (PHBs) at the household level from 50% to 70%.
PHBs in the household is an effort to empower members of the household to know, willing, and able to practice the behavior and healthy and active role in the public health movement.
Expected behavior is that people pay more attention to Indonesia hygienic lifestyle in everyday life, including the dress. Bacteria can stick to fabric when the fabric is exposed to contamination from various sources, such as leather, spills or smears food, pets, even when caring for a family member who had already been contaminated.
Infection Specialists of the Faculty of Medicine and Tropical Hygiene Cipto Mangunkusomo Hospital (RSCM) dr. Hindra Irawan Satari, Monday (25/6) said the bacteria spread from the source to the fabric via contact with the hands or between surfaces.
"The bacteria have the potential to spread to other clothes are washed together," he said.
According to him, the role of household is very important to prevent infection or disease. Berbagagai research in several countries, such as Canada, Japan, America, and others lead to the conclusion that the bacteria can live on clothing and housewares made from fabrics such as sheets, towels, pillow cases and many more if not kept clean.
Environmental microbiologist from the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene (IFH) Gaia Gene Ryan Sinclair explains that in the clothing and household appliances such as towels, sheets, pillowcases, and other equipment are made from fabrics that are not found to be clean of bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus, E. Coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas that can cause disease in humans.
According to him, these bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus can be attached to the wall washer carried by dirty clothes and potentially spread to other clothes, especially in moist or wet clothes.
dr. Hindra explains, is very important for us to understand the different types of bacteria and diseases caused by bacteria. For example, the presence of S. Aureus in the upper respiratory tract and skin rarely causes disease in individuals.
According to him, a healthy individual is usually only act as a career, but to be considered is if the individual has an open wound in the skin. Bacteria in the wound can be transferred to the clothing worn in the end the bacteria spread and cause ulcers or skin disease.
Another example, K. Pneumoniae which can often cause upper respiratory tract disease, also frequently transmitted due to unhygienic human behavior. We therefore good to know different types of bacteria that can cause illness and realize long-term consequences of these bacteria on the body.
Along with globalization along with the increasing population and physical development that often cause pollution, Molto observed that protection against bacteria increasingly relevant for families in Indonesia.
During this time, the Indonesian people believe that washing is an effective way for cleaning clothes from dirt and germs, yet teryata wash using detergent alone is not enough to eliminate germs or bacteria that attach to clothing fabric and equipment.
