There are many ways to be safe within the home and while doing household tasks. Keeping running in a house to a minimum will ensure that no one runs into walls or breaks anything, both of which could cause injury. One should also always be mindful of electrical outlets, which can spark and cause a burn, or start a fire in the worst case. It's smart to wear gloves while cleaning so harsh cleaners do not hurt hands, as well as to prevent the spread of germs while cleaning.
