I am sick to fucking death of commercialism and it's new wave of acting like everything in your home must be sterilized or you are an unfit mother.
If your water has not been purified, is it full of trrifying toxins and disease that will kill you dead! Fuck you. I drink tap water. Nice, plain tap water. And I STILL have no qualms about drinking lukewarm water out of a hose like I did when I was out playing as a child. Not dead yet.
Germs live of your counter and in the air and oh my god! Get the lysol! And your sheets are covered in "body soil" Ahh! Ahh! Ffft. Germs are everwhere. They live on you. They love it on you. They like to sit around and smack on the shit that oozes out of your pores. You're not dead yet. Most microbiological creatures are HARMLESS! Yes. HARMLESS. You don't need to decimate all life forms on your countertop. It's not accomplishing ANYTHING.
You're being tricked into a paranoia about microbial life because companies want to sell you an essentially worthless porduct. They have made a consumable items that does nothing of value, and they are getting RICH off it, by making people afraid of NOT using the product.
Be dirty! Go! Just be dirty! Go drink a glass full of milk, then rinse the glass, and use it for juice. You'll be fine. Try to use only one fork for an entire week. Nothing bad happens. Wipe down your counters with water. Just water! You won't die.
Eat that food off the floor! EAT IT! Go ahead and guage the cleanliness of your clothing by smell and not by how many times it has been worn since it's last washing! We all do it, so why do we feel shame for it? Examine EVERYTHING that comes out of your body. At length. Dust with a sock!
Go forth and be filthy!
