How to Eliminate Helicobacter Pylori from Utensils?
Helicobacter pylori on tableware can be killed through boiling disinfection, steam disinfection, and disinfection cabinets. Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped, micro-anaerobic bacterium with stringent growth requirements, surviving in various regions of the stomach and duodenum. It can cause mild chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa, leading to gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. Here are some methods to kill Helicobacter pylori on tableware:
Clean the bowls and chopsticks and place them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. It is worth noting that wooden chopsticks will bend and deform when heated, so this type of tableware cannot be disinfected in this way.
Place the cleaned bowls and chopsticks in a steam cabinet or steam box and raise the temperature to 100 degrees. Disinfect for about 5-10 minutes.
In addition, professional disinfection cabinets can also be used, with a temperature generally around 120 degrees, maintained for about 15-20 minutes. Dishwashers integrate cleaning and disinfection, which is convenient and fast. However, it is important to note that the disinfection time and temperature must be strictly followed to ensure effective disinfection.
When boiling for disinfection, it is also necessary to note the following: tableware must be thoroughly cleaned first; the disinfected tableware needs to be fully immersed in water; do not place too many items, generally not exceeding 3/4 of the container; do not add new items during the continuous boiling process.
