Is it necessary to lay mats in hallways and toilets? Professional explanation for 35 years of hospital cleaning

Do you really need a cushion at home? (Ph/photoAC)

From the porch that serves as the entrance to the house, there are also many toilets, kitchens and houses with mattresses. What is its function? Is it really necessary? Based on 35 years of experience in general hospital cleaning and health management, we asked Mr. Tadao Matsumoto about the book "cleaning techniques that won't become a disease discovered by a 35-year professional professor in hospital cleaning" (Phantom Winter House). Various cleaning techniques that are useful to health are introduced. [5 photos] introduce all kinds of photos about the cushion. And a doormat with "WELCOME" on it.

Cushions are pollutants as long as they are not washed with beans.

Door mat, toilet mat, kitchen mat. Every family seems to have one, Mr. Bassary said. "I personally think it's unnecessary." The reason is that-- "because fibers such as mats and carpets accumulate dust on and around the surface of the fiber. Dust will become food for mites. In other words, cushions may become nests for dust and mites as long as they are not washed with beans. If you spill something on the floor, wipe it with toilet paper for the toilet and kitchen paper for the kitchen. It is difficult to notice that it has been spilled because of a cushion, which is likely to be covered with dirt. This is very unsanitary. "(same as Matsumoto below)

Cushions that can be placed, cushions that do not need to be placed

If there is anything that can be placed as an exception, it can be said to be two. One is the bathroom mat. "it is necessary in this sense that a bath mat can help you get the moisture out of your body after taking a shower. Because the bathroom mat can also be washed and kept clean every day. "the absolute condition of the shop is to wash it carefully. In order to facilitate washing with the washing machine, it is better to make a thin cushion. Or, the person who takes a bath first uses the bath towel to make a bath mat, wash it as it is, and you don't need a cushion. The doormat used for dirt feet is also ants. In addition, Matsumoto believes that what is worth laying is a porch pad for dirt feet. "because the cushion can remove the stickiness and dust attached to the back of the shoes." however, many houses in Japan will take off their shoes and go home, so this effect is only a porch. Under this premise, I would say the following.
