Survey shows nearly eight adults are not washing cups

No one in life can get away from boiling water, so the cup becomes a container that is in daily contact with our lips. The cleanliness of the cup is closely related to our health. A small survey of the Internet shows that nearly eight adults believe that as long as the cup is not dirty, it does not need to be cleaned. However, health experts have warned that drinking glasses are wet all year round. If they are not regularly cleaned and disinfected, they will become breeding places for mold.

Miss Mao is a typical office white-collar worker. He is in the office nine to five times a day. Because she only drinks boiled water, she feels that her ceramic mug looks very clean. Therefore she drains her leftover water after work everyday. Day then poured out to drink.

In fact, many people have the same habits as Miss Mao. A small survey on cup cleaning showed that of the 3,849 participating users, 50.2% did not make daily cups. Even as high as 75.5% of people believe that as long as the cup is not dirty, it does not need to be cleaned.

In addition, 52.8% of people responded to the survey by saying that when they washed the cup, they simply rinsed with water. Another 8.9% said that because the cups were "too wasted", they were "lazy to wash."

“Isn't the cleaning of the glass cups harmful?” For this problem, 22% of people did not realize the harm, and 2.6% of the respondents mistakenly believed it was not harmful.

In this regard, the director of the Infectious Disease Control Branch of the PLA No. 320 Hospital pointed out that since the glass of water is filled with water, it will be in a humid environment, and it is easy to breed a variety of bacteria that are mainly mold-like and endanger human health. Therefore, it should be washed and disinfected regularly and should be kept as far as possible. dry. He suggested that cups should be physically disinfected, such as boiling with boiling water, heating in a microwave oven (except for metal materials), and soaking with a sterile tablet. It is worth noting that the cup's screw is the most likely to contain filth and needs to be cleaned. (Reporter Wang Qiong)
