THE MOST FORGOTTEN PLACES TO CLEAN IN YOUR HOME
It’s
almost time for spring cleaning! Before we get too carried away, let’s take a
moment to try to remember the nastiest, filthiest parts of the home, some of
which you surely haven’t cleaned in a while. Make sure to put these spots on
your cleaning and janitorial list!
Items
You’ve Likely Forgotten to Clean
·
Toaster cleaning: If you enjoy toast every once in a
while, like me, and then don’t clean out the crumbs, you have a very
dangerous fire hazard on your hands.
·
Dish Rack cleaning: You may sense a
theme with this list: A lot of the things that are the most dirty often aid us
in cleaning. Every once in a while, you should disinfect your dish-drying rack
after cleaning same.
·
Dishwasher cleaning: Your dishwasher
is always full of soap and running water, so how can it get dirty? Trust me; it
does. Some recommend washing out and cleaning of your dishwasher with vinegar
once a month. Run a cycle with vinegar and a cycle with baking soda using these instructions and you’ll be good to go.
·
Laundry Machine cleaning: If you don’t
always use bleach, your washing machine can be a dirty place. Start a warm
cycle with no clothes and add five cups of white vinegar to clean. Do this
every six months.
·
Cleaning Under the Range Hood: This is a
specific type of unpleasant grease that many people really don’t want to deal
with nor remember to clean. Pop out the filter and go to town with hot, hot
water and baking soda.
·
Laundry baskets cleaning: Dirty laundry
teems with bacteria, and if you’re like some of my relatives, who like to fold
clean laundry in the same basket they used to carry the dirty laundry, maybe
don’t. At the very least clean it always and disinfect it first.
·
Between, Under, and Behind Appliances cleaning: These dust
bunnies can be ugly, and they can also be a fire hazard.
·
The Top of Your Cabinets and Fridge: How often do you
go up there? I find that between cabinets and the refrigerator is where a lot
of the worst dust bunnies live. You are encouraged to always clean it
·
Ceiling fan cleaning: Don’t keep
blowing the same dust throughout your home over and over. Use this super-simple trick with a pillowcase to clean it without getting the
dust everywhere.
·
Pillows cleaning: Should you clean your pillows? Do
you like sleeping on pests and dead skin? Dirty pillows can be very bad for respiratory health, and
most people don’t realize they can usually just throw them in the washing
machine. (Pay attention to the instructions for drying, and if they allow
machine-drying, throw a few clean tennis balls in there, too, to keep them
fluffy.)
·
Coffee Makers cleaning: Drip coffee
machines apparently are one of the kitchen appliances teeming with the most
bacteria in many homes, probably because so few know how to clean it. Just run
it with vinegar and hot water every once in a while.
·
Makeup Brushes cleaning: Ladies (and some
men), please don’t put bacteria on your face or in your eyes over and over.
There are several methods to clean these brushes, but I’m
told that baby shampoo works best.
·
Yoga/Exercise Mat cleaning: Foot fungus,
sweat, dirt, and bacteria hang out where you like to be spiritually centered.
Use some detergent and water and hose it down, or, if you don’t have time
before class, spray it down with water mixed with tea tree oil (because then,
it will smell good, too, as you’re doing camels).
·
Bath Mat cleaning: It’s holding all of that water from
your shower collected in one rug; throw it in the laundry.
·
Cleaning Items Themselves: When you’re
absolutely done spring cleaning, consider taking the time to freshen up your
vacuum and broom, as it will extend their usefulness and cleaning them will
help prevent spreading illness. Remember to clean your vacuum’s filter, too.
·
Garbage Pails cleaning: I clean these
really frequently, myself. It might be time to break out the bleach.
·
Shower Curtain and Rod cleaning: Don’t be cheap;
replace your shower curtain every once in a while, and wipe down that rod, too.
The top is where people often don’t clean, where there’s rust or soap buildup.
