To ensure absolute security, we need to sterilization operation, but the solution to remove all inner house microbes will only make people’s immune system grew even weaker. In addition, household disinfection should be targeted, the family tableware disinfection is good for blocking the spread of pathogens through the intestinal microbial, but hard to prevent those pathogenic microbe that spread through respiratory tract.
