Fiona describes her daily routine:
'I am constantly terrified that my children will catch a deadly disease from bacteria on the kitchen counters. I can only stop feeling panicked if I wipe down every surface using antibacterial spray.

My kitchen cleaning routine has become so long that I am always late preparing dinner.'
