MANILA, Philippines — Cleaning the home has reached a different standard during this pandemic. Nowadays, it’s not just about cleaning surfaces that are visible to our eyes, but more about sanitizing objects and spaces.
While regular vacuuming and pagpag may help keep dusts and dirt away, these are not enough to kill deep-seated germs and viruses that are stealthily living in things inside our homes. We call these, germumus.
Mom celebs and online personalities attest to this. Away from the camera and their social media following, they are germ busters through and through, not allowing viruses and bacteria to thrive in their homes.
Find out how they are doing it to keep their loved ones safe in their homes.
1. Saab Magalona
Saab Magalona, the other half of the top streaming podcast Wake up with Jim and Saab, is a mom of two young and makukulit boys. When their home becomes “makalat” during playtime, it’s okay with her because she knows that her kids are exploring and learning.
What is not okay for her is them being exposed to germs that they don’t see. “I still like to make sure that the house is still clean and germ-free. Even if we don’t see it, there are germumus hiding everywhere, especially in our hard-to-wash fabrics,” Saab posted on Instagram.
2. Megan Young
Actress, former beauty queen and now content creator Megan Young is also very strict when it comes to sanitation at home. She lives with her husband and actor Mikael Daez, whom she co-produces the podcast #BehindRelationshipGoals. There’s also Soba, their beloved dog.
Megan too has the same concern at home, which is cleaning big and heavy fabrics. “Imagine washing the couch every week!” she said in her Instagram post.
