Here are some secret places where dirt and germs accumulate.
Kitchen - The Sponge
Even though we take time to clean the sink and worktop, there is something that often escapes our routine cleaning... the kitchen sponge.
How to take care of it?
Opt for sponges that are good quality, dependable, and wash with hot water. The hot water helps kill some germs and makes your cleaning more effective. Flap the sponge well when you're done using it every day to avoid humidity in which the bacteria reproduce.
Living room– Remote Control
One never thinks of cleaning it, yet everyone fiddles with it, makes it fall to the ground; it passes in the hands full of crumbs of chips, under the soles of the slippers; not to mention the times when we sit on it by mistake or those where the dog drool over it.
How to clean it?
Spray a little liquid soap on a cotton swab and clean carefully between the keys.
Bathroom - The toilet seat
The toilet seat sometimes does not get all the cleaning it deserves.
How to clean them?
Washing your toilet set once a week won't suffice. You must do it every day or at least three times a week. The lid is flipped before flushing to prevent the movement of water from causing the bacteria to fly.
Doorknob
Doorknobs can be one of the dirtiest places in the house especially that of washrooms and the ones facing outdoors.
How to clean one?
80% of infectious diseases spread by hands. Think about putting a disinfectant bottle near the door at the entrance and outside your washroom to ensure that the hands that hold the doorknobs are clean and do not transfer any germs.
Bath Mat
Sometimes you wash the towels and bath and remember to clean the shower. Most times, the bath mat goes scot-free in the middle of household chores. However, it must be washed and changed at least as much as towels or more: because it stays on the ground, wet, and is used by several people.
How to wash it?
You need to, first of all, stop taking shoes into the bathrooms and also ensure that you clean the bath mat often enough. You should also ensure that your floor mat stays dry as much as possible.
Pay attention to these areas to keep your home clean. Pay extra attention to these areas when cleaning your home for inspection or an open house.
