Using Colloidal Silver around the home
Colloidal Silver is well-known to support the immune system and to help fight infections with its antimicrobial properties.
But it may also be the best all-natural, environmentally-friendly household disinfectant you can use for the safety, health and wellbeing of your entire family.
With its antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral properties, there are plenty of ways Colloidal Silver can be used to keep your home infection-free.
When Colloidal Silver encounters a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen, it disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme. This effectively suffocates any bacteria, virus or fungus-producing cell, and they are unable to replicate.
See our article: What is Colloidal Silver?
A quick spray or wipe with Colloidal Silver is all you need to keep germs at bay. As it’s 100% natural, it doesn’t contain alcohol or any other chemicals, so it won’t dry out your skin, or leave any unwanted residue behind.
See below for ideas on how to use it around the home:
In the kitchen
Kitchen cloths and sponges can harbour all sorts of bacteria. Sanitise them regularly by lightly spraying with Colloidal Silver and then allow to dry.
Lightly spray chopping boards after washing and allow them to air dry to help prevent bacterial contamination.
Using a clean cloth and Colloidal Silver liquid, wipe out kitchen bins to prevent mould, decay and odours.
Surfaces around the home
Wipe down or spray all daily contact points in your home like door knobs and handles, cupboards and drawers.
Use it on car interiors; the steering wheel, gear stick and dashboard.
Colloidal Silver for pets
Mix a little Colloidal Silver in your pet’s drinking water to help protect against infections. Colloidal Silver can also eliminate most pet odours from your soft furnishings without damaging or staining them. Some furnishings, especially deep carpets, may need repeated applications.
In the bathroom
Spray it on toothbrushes, hairbrushes and combs to safely sterilise them. Using a clean cloth and Colloidal Silver liquid, wipe down the toilet seat. Don’t forget the handle or flushing mechanism as well as the door knob. Spray the toilet brush and plunger and allow it to air dry.
Mould on walls and ceilings
Mould can be a common and potentially dangerous problem in New Zealand homes. Lightly spray Colloidal Silver on to the walls and ceilings in your bathroom and other affected rooms to dramatically reduce the growth of mould and mildew.
Get right into the corners and seams where the walls and ceiling meet. Make sure you ventilate these areas to allow the Colloidal Silver to dry. Repeat weekly where necessary.
Children’s toys
Stuffed toys can be difficult to wash. Spraying children’s toys daily will help decrease the spread of germs. Simply spray the item, then allow to air dry.
Fruits, veggies and plants
Spraying Colloidal Silver on fruits and vegetables can delay mould growth and keep them fresher for longer.
Spray indoor plants to help prevent the growth of parasites, fungi, and to help stop most plant diseases.
Try spraying it on cut flowers to help them last longer.
Out shopping or when travelling
When shopping or travelling, take a spray bottle to quickly and easily disinfect things like shopping trolleys, surfaces in hotel rooms, and on planes.
Face masks
‘Maskne’ is a term for the acne flare-ups and skin irritation you can get from wearing a mask constantly. Bacteria can build up under a mask, which can lead to clogged pores, redness, and other skin conditions. You can alleviate this by staying hydrated, wearing a little less makeup, and washing your face regularly using a gentle cleanser.
If you wear a fabric mask, avoid synthetic fabrics, such as nylon or rayon, and wash it every day in hot soapy water. Allow to dry and then spray it with Colloidal Silver, as well as spraying a little on your face to avoid bacterial build-up. You can also spray it inside disposable masks for an extra layer of antibacterial protection.
Personal items
Spray it on watch bands to kill bacteria and avoid unpleasant odours. Try it on toothbrushes, hairbrushes and combs to safely sterilise. Spray Colloidal Silver in your shoes and between toes to help prevent skin itch, athlete’s foot and fungi.
Using a clean cloth and Colloidal Silver liquid, wipe down your mobile phone, headphones, reading glasses and remotes, that often harbour plenty of bacteria.
