This is clearly an important issue especially in Microbiology and is also one of the reasons why US hospitals went through a phase where they switched from making it mandatory to wash hands using soap and water to using antimicrobial sanitizers then back to using soap and water based on research and studies conducted in hospitals across the country.
The overuse of antimicrobial sanitizers in a sense "over sanitize" and are one of the many factors contributing to the continuing emergence of resistant bacteria (in addition to over medicating and incomplete antibiotic regiments)

How do you sanitize your clothes?
Sanitization is a means of keeping germs away. The best way to achieve this for your laundry is to wash them daily. Ensure that you keep a separate laundry basket in your dry balcony so that all stale clothes are kept away. Add them to wash daily and use some good laundry disinfectant after wash. These acts like conditioner for fabric and also combats germs. Once germs are destroyed, the clothes always remains fresh.

What are good germs?
There's good and bad bacteria, so assume there's good and bad germs."Germs" is just a word for microrganisms that live everywhere. There are good and bad bacteria. The bad ones are the ones that make us sick (pathogens) and the good ones are the ones that naturally occur on, in, and around us that actually help us.Do yourself a favor and stay away from antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers. These products actually kill good bacteria that's taking up space on your skin, keeping the pathogens at bay. You're actually making yourself more prone to infection. I used antibacterial soap for the longest time until it allowed ringworm to form on me.Antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers were originally made for doctors to use (doctors have to work with sick and injured people, so keeping both good and bad bacteria away from open wounds/weak immune systems is a must). People soon got into this mindset that ALL bacteria are bad, and we have to sanitize ourselves. This is simply not the case, and most people actually benefit from getting a lot of "germs" around and in them when they're younger, because it builds up their immune system and makes us stronger and more able to fight off an infection.

Normally disinfectants are used in closed rooms or sick rooms. However you can use them at home also. It is better to use them when you hear there is outbreak of some diseases. The best way is to have a good air disinfectant spray as a product which is capable of killing all germs. It is good to use in general also. Try keeping in stock some good brand and source from a good supermarket or pharmacy.

Do all dishwasher sanitize the dishes?
No. A dishwasher will not sanitize dishes unless the option is turned on. A normal cycle will use very hot water to wash and it’s good enough. A sanitary cycle heats water to 170 degrees. You should have a good reason to use this cycle.
