The following information my startle you and why you should wash your Football Coffee Mug after every use. I was amazed of how we can learn something new everyday. This is so true of our activities that we take for granted day in and day out.
Most of us can be rather grumpy without our quick fix of coffee or hot chocolate for the day. Yet how ironic that the following could make you sick if you are not careful.
But don’t worry its not what you do but the way you do it! 😉
To be for-armed is to be for-warned they say. Thus, being ahead of the game with simple knowledge of what is lurking and following these guidelines, you will be well on your way to a healthy coffee drink with your football mug enjoying the NFL lifestyle and the game!
Fecal Bacteria
If you are in the office or at home, there can be all kinds of nasties lurking around and eventually make their way into your coffee mug.
Research has shown that 90% of office mugs (and at home) are covered in germs. Also they can thrive in their environment for up to 3 days or more and 20% of these germs can carry Fecal Bacteria.
You should never leave your mug in the bathroom or where the toilet is.
You see every time you flush the toilet the water vapour goes up into the air and then eventually settle including on your coffee mug.
I guess it just does not bare thinking about!
If your football coffee mug is sitting unwashed after being used after watching your NFL Game, germs will start to reproduce straight way. Colonies of bacteria will grow with what is left inside the mug. Even if you are good at washing your mug or cup all the time, you should still heed notice here.
Remember To Use The Dishwasher!
The germs or bacteria are the end result of what occurs when you clean from a scrub or sponge, which has been sitting around for ages. This is certainly more the case with sponges in the kitchen at the office.
So what is the best practice? Simple. Remember to wash your mug in the dishwasher and not just rinse under the tap. It is also important to make sure that the dishwasher is engaged with the dry cycle, as this uses extremely high temperatures that germs and bacteria cannot survive.
I also personally use a cup of white vinegar poured into the dishwasher before you turn it on. White vinegar is very good at cleaning and disinfecting. It is a good alternative to chemical products in the kitchen and even the bathroom.
So with that people, I hope you enjoy your favourite coffee mug with your perfect drink. Where you can drink safely without catching viruses and keeping your environment clean and safe.
My first football mug that I purchased was the Philadelphia Eagles and I love it! I am also planning on getting the Jaguars soon.
What is your favourite drink with your mug and what is your favourite team?
Enjoy! And Happy NFLing. 🙂
