Working full-time and keeping your home clean can seem daunting, but it’s not impossible. In fact, with a little bit of organization and planning, you can have a clean and tidy home in no time. Here are some tips to help you!
1. The kitchen sink – bacteria and food particles can build up over time
Bacteria and food particles can build up over time in your kitchen sink, forming a breeding ground for germs. To keep your kitchen sink clean and healthy, regularly clean it with bleach or baking soda and water. You can also install a strainer to catch food particles before they go down the drain. Happy cleaning!
2. The bathroom sink – the same goes for this one, plus toothpaste residue and hair can accumulate
Maintaining a clean bathroom is a never-ending battle. Between toothpaste residue, hair, and the general grime that seems to find its way on every surface, it’s hard to keep things looking spick and span. But while the fight may be tough, it’s definitely worth it – especially when it comes to the bathroom sink. Although it may seem like common sense, many people don’t realize that the same goes for this one as for any other surface in the bathroom: wipe it down regularly with a cleaning solution (or just some hot water and dish soap if you’re in a hurry) to get rid of any build-up. And don’t forget about those pesky toothpaste stains and hairspray marks.
3. Kitchen counters – these tend to be a gathering place for bacteria and food droppings
There are a lot of things that happen in the kitchen. It’s where we cook our food, and it’s also where we spend a lot of time hanging out with our families and friends. But what you might not know is that a kitchen counter is also a place where bacteria tends to thrive. So if you’re looking to keep your family healthy, it’s important to clean your kitchen counters regularly. Here are a few tips: Wipe them down with soap and water every day, use a disinfectant cleaner once a week and spray them down with vinegar once a month.
4. Bathroom counters – see above!
The bathroom is one of the most-used rooms in a home, and it can also be one of the dirtiest. Bathroom counters are often a repository for hair products, toothpaste, cosmetics, and other items that can leave behind a mess. Here is how to clean your bathroom counters quickly and easily. Use a spray bottle with vinegar or water to clean your countertops. Wet down the surface and then use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe up any dirt or debris. Be sure to rinse off the vinegar or water well when you’re finished so that it doesn’t leave streaks on the countertop.
5. Door knobs – they’re touched by everyone who comes in and out of your house, so they can get pretty germy
Believe it or not, door knobs are one of the germiest places in your home. So what can you do to keep yourself and your family safe? Wipe down your door knob regularly with a disinfectant cloth, and avoid touching them with your hands as much as possible.
6. Remote controls – they’re handled by everyone in the family and tend to get dirty quickly
In my house, the remote control is a hot commodity. It’s handled by everyone in the family and it tends to get dirt and biscuit crumbs all over it. Just like anything else in life, Remote controls need occasional cleaning. If you don’t clean them often, they can get dusty and greasy which will cause them to not function properly. Here is how to clean Remote controls: 1) First, disconnect the Remote from any power sources. 2) Next, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the surface of the Remote. 3) Finally, use a dry cloth to polish it off. And that’s it! Your Remote should now be clean and functioning properly.
