Sanitation at Home
A home is a place where people cook, eat sleep and look after their children. It protects people
from harsh weather cold, rain, wind, the burning rays of the sun-as well as from insects,
animals and other dangers, so a home is a very important place for people to live.
Sanitation at home is important. People can do a lot about improving some of their living
conditions in which they live. They should refrigerate food properly or store it carefully to keep
it away from bacteria, and they should not leave food lying around because it may attract insects
and rats. To Avoid these pests, proper care of garbage is also very important.

Careful housekeeping is extremely important to sanitation and food health. People should keep
all parts of the house neat and clean by sweeping and mopping them, such as bedroom, bathroom
and kitchen. They should tidy up the bedroom, scrub bathroom and kitchen often, and use
disinfectants freely. Sanitary condition of a house protects people from germs but health
problems not caused by germs are a growing challenge in the field of sanitation today.
