Dust bunnies, grime and clutter accumulate throughout winter, and it is time to attack these issues head on now that the weather has improved to allow for open windows. However, before you get started with eradicating the messes around your house, you must acquire the right gear for the job.
在冬天，灰尘、污垢和杂物堆积较多。当到了可以开窗通风的时候，也就到了该去清扫脏东西的时候了。然而在你进行大扫除之前，你必须要有正确的清扫装备。
Your wash bucket will be full of cleaners, rags, scrub brushes and other items to give your home a new shine for spring. Do not forget to grab the appropriate attire as well. Before you start cleaning, slip on a pair of disposable gloves to protect your skin. You may think there are not any serious consequences from touching cleaners and old dirt, but the opposite is true.
你的清洁桶会装满清洁剂、抹布、擦洗刷和其他物件。大扫除会给你的家带来春天般清新的干净。不要忘了在清洁时穿上合适的衣服。开始大扫除前你还要穿戴一双一次性手套来保护你的皮肤。也许，你会认为接触清洁剂和脏污并不会造成很严重的后果，但事实恰恰相反。
In fact, there are a number of items you should not touch without wearing gloves. Here are a few:
事实上，你不该不戴手套就去碰一些东西。这些东西如下所列：
漂白剂
In addition to making your white clothes whiter, bleach also serves as a cleaning and disinfecting agent. Whether you are pouring a little into your dishwater or a bucket for mopping the floor, bleach is a useful substance to have on hand. Yet you must use it in moderation. If you use too much, getting a headache from the smell is not the only risk you face.
漂白剂除了能漂白你的衣物之外，也能被用作清洁剂或是消毒剂。当你在洗碗水里或是拖地板的桶中加上一点漂白剂后，它会对你的手产生（有害）作用。所以你必须适度使用漂白剂。如果用得太多了，其气味所致的头痛不会是你面临到的唯一风险。
Bleach is a mixture of water and sodium hypochlorite that comes in various concentrations. Because sodium hypochlorite is an oxidizing agent, it is corrosive to your skin. Low concentrations may not produce noticeable effects, but higher concentrations or continuous exposure to low concentrations could lead to reactions that include skin irritation, burning and itching.
漂白剂是一种由不同浓度的水和次氯酸钠所制成的混合物。因为次氯酸钠是一种氧化剂，会对皮肤有腐蚀性。低浓度的漂白剂也许不会产生明显的效果，但高浓度的漂白剂或是持续使用低浓度的漂白剂可能会造成皮肤过敏、灼伤和瘙痒等一系列的反应。
Even if you are using bleach for only a short amount of time, wear a pair of gloves. Nitrile gloves, for instance, are the best option for chemical resistance.
即使你使用漂白剂只有很短的时间。也最好穿戴一副手套。例如丁腈手套，抗化学腐蚀的最佳选择。
Detergents
清洁剂
These substances come into play when you are washing dishes, mopping, washing your car, cleaning your home's windows and for other uses.
当你在洗碗、拖地、洗车、擦窗或是清洁其他地方时，清洁剂的成分会到处挥发。
Most detergents are mild but over time, the effects are more serious than pruney skin. These substances dry out your skin and will lead to irritation following prolonged contact. Grab a pair of gloves before you wash your car, mop your floor or tackle the tower of dishes piling up by your sink.
大多数清洁剂剂量都是轻微的。但随着时间的推移，它的危害远比使皮肤干燥更严重。清洁剂里的物质会使皮肤干燥，长时间接触还会刺激到皮肤。（所以）在你洗车、拖地或洗一堆成山的碟子之前，请戴上一副手套。
Mold
霉菌
Mold is a problem in many homes. Often, the presence of mold goes undetected because it grows unbeknownst to homeowners - hiding behind walls and in dark corners of attics and basements. If your home has moisture, leaks or flooding issues, you likely have mold growing somewhere in the property.
对于许多的房子来说，霉菌是一个大麻烦。通常，(如果)霉菌的踪迹没有被发现是因为它们藏匿于房主不知道的地方：藏在墙后、阁楼的暗角及地下室。如果你家里有潮湿、漏水或是积水溢出的地方，那里都有可能生长霉菌。
During winter, your risk for mold may increase. One of the best ways to improve your indoor air quality and minimize mold is to keep your windows open, especially when you shower and the steam causes moisture to accumulate in the bathroom. However, with the cold weather, your windows are closed for a few months. If you have not been using your exhaust fan - or your bathroom doesn't have one - your bathroom may develop mold.
在冬天，霉菌所造成的风险更大。改善室内空气质量和减少霉菌最好的方法之一是保持通风。尤其是当你淋浴，蒸汽聚集在浴室时。但由于寒冷的天气，你家的窗户会关上好几个月。如果你没有使用排气扇，或者你的浴室内没有排气扇，你家的浴室可能就会滋生霉菌。
For significant mold growth, you must contact professionals to take care of the removal, but for small patches, it is safe to handle the cleaning yourself. Wear gloves when cleaning mold. Not only are there health issues that arise if you touch mold with your bare hands, including skin irritation, but also you need to protect your hands from the detergent or bleach you use to clean the mold. Furthermore, wear an N95-rated mask to avoid breathing in mold spores.
因为大量的霉菌生长，你必须要请专业人员来处理。但是小范围（滋生霉菌）的话，自己处理掉它们还是安全的。（记得）去除霉菌时要戴上手套。这不仅仅是为了保护你的双手在接触霉菌时不受刺激，还是为了保护接触霉菌且接触洗涤精或漂白剂的双手。此外，戴上N95口罩可以避免吸入霉菌孢子。
Disposable gloves protect your hands from harsh chemicals,
mold and pathogens while you clean.
当你清扫时，一次性手套能保护你的双手远离有害化学物质、霉菌和病原体的威胁。
Animals
动物
Due to the cold temperatures, small animals may have burrowed into your house or garage to find a warm place to live. While many of the animals will venture back out into the world once the weather becomes warmer, some will not have survived.
由于天气寒冷，一些小动物可能会躲进你家或是车库来寻求一个温暖的地方生存下来。大部分小动物会在气温回暖时回到大自然中，可有些不会幸存下来。
If you come across dead mice, rats or other animals, do not touch them with your bare hands. Also, wear gloves when cleaning the areas where you found these creatures. Many rodents carry pathogens, such as hantavirus, which spread through rodent droppings. That's why it's important to wear gloves and a mask. You must stay healthy to tackle all of your other spring cleaning chores.
如果你遇到了死老鼠、田鼠或其他死掉的动物，请不要用手去触碰它们。（而是）应该在发现这些动物的同时穿戴手套做清理工作。许多啮齿类动物都是携带病原体的，如汉坦病毒等。这些病原体会听过啮齿类动物的粪便进行传播。这就是为什么在清扫时穿戴手套和口罩是十分重要的原因。（此外）在春季大扫除时，你要保持身体健康。
These are just a few situations when you should wear gloves while cleaning your house to prepare for spring, and there is nothing wrong with putting gloves on for other purposes. Maybe you just want to feel like a superhero while you clean.
以上只是一些你在迎接春天做大扫除时应戴手套的少数情况。为了其他目的穿戴手套（当然）也是可以的。也许你只是想在大扫除时以戴手套的方式来（让大家）觉得你像一个超级英雄（这个目的也是没有错的）。
Detergents and bleach are two hazards you face when spring cleaning.
春季大扫除时，洗涤剂和漂白剂对于你的脸来说是两大威胁。
