Kitchen handles
Scrub appliance and cabinet handles once a week. You know you touched the raw bacon when you put it in the pan and — even with your best effort to use your two clean fingers to reopen the fridge to put it away — you know you failed.

Computer stuff
Maybe you’ve thought, now and again, to wipe off your keyboard. After all, you can see the crumbs from your breakfast. But, when was the last time you wiped down your mouse? How about those plugs and cables you connect and disconnect all the time? It’s time to wipe ‘em all down.

forgetting to clean The ins and outs
Many of us have gotten a little better lately at cleaning in general. One thing we may have realized is that all our doorknobs need to be sanitized from our comings and goings.

Gross. You need to scrub that thing every single day! Faucet by iofoto/Shutterstock.com
