Cleanliness is the absence of dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells and garbage. Purposes of cleanliness include health, beauty, absence of offensive odor, avoidance of shame, and to avoid the spreading of dirt and contaminants to oneself and others. In the case of glass objects such as windows or windshields, the purpose can also be transparency. Washing is one way of achieving cleanliness, usually with water and often some kind of soap or detergent. In more recent times, since the germ theory of disease, it has also come to mean an absence of germs and other hazardous materials. However, dirt may play a useful role in our immune systems. This shift in thinking can be traced back to 1989, when David Strachan put forth the "hygiene hypothesis" in the British Medical Journal. Strachan looked at the records of 17,000 British children and found that the greater number of older siblings they had, the less likely they were to come down with hay fever—a disease which, despite its name, is far more common in the city than the country. Strachan wondered if the older children were bringing home more viral infections to their younger siblings, priming their immune systems so they could better tolerate pollen. The "hygiene hypothesis" has now been linked with asthma, allergies, intestinal diseases including Crohn's disease, childhood leukemia and atopic dermatitis. There is increasing evidence that the less germs people are exposed to as a child, the more likely they are to get sick as adults. Cleanliness impacts every phase of social interaction, generating potentially profound health-related risks and illnesses. From Wikipedia under the

While you will ruin the finish, it can be cleaned the old fashioned way. But you will never be able to "self clean" properly again. You will ALWAYS have to do it the "old fashioned way" from then on.

Q. What cleaning products would best work for cleaning laminate flooring? Asked by autumndawn29 - Tue Aug 7 18:45:20 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. CLEAN your laminate floor with these general guidelines: Remove loose dirt by using a non-beater bar vacuum or a dust mop. With a damp mop or cloth, clean your laminate floor once a week with a vinegar solution (1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of clean tap water) or a nonabrasive household cleaner, such as ammonia and water solution. Do not saturate the floor. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, soap-based detergents, waxes, polishes, or scouring powder because they may scratch or dull the flooring surface. Wipe up spills immediately. Avoid allowing liquids to stand on your floor. A more frequent dust mopping or vacuuming schedule may be required in high traffic or sandy areas.
