So kitchens and bathrooms need cleaned regularly. The moisture and food in these rooms specifically make it easy for pathogens to grow. Plenty of people get mould problems in their homes. Kitchens need cleaned with disinfectant sprays to make them safe to produce food in.
What about the inside of taps though? Depending on the age of your house, the pipes and taps could be decades old, and will have never been cleaned on the inside, yet we don’t think twice about pouring a glass of water. Why is this? How are the insides not full of rust, grime and bacteria?

I purchased a home built in the 80’s where the previous owner replaced the pipe from the meter at the curb to the main inlet near the house with this old stuff called Quest pipe, a precursor to pex pipe. Should I worry more about bacteria? I’ve already had to repair 3 breaks in the line; dig, cut, mend. Would love to replace it with copper but the line runs under a large driveway and I was recently quoted 5 grand for the job.
