Top 5 things you are forgetting to clean

1. 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. Something that’s easy to forget is wiping down light switches and railings as well. Some warm soapy water with a rag works wonders.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Drink containers

We have our favorite coffee cup and water bottle that we refill over and over without giving it a regular bath like we should. Plunge it into some hot soapy water and give it a good scrub head to toe. 3 2 4 things you are forgetting to clean 5 1

5. Faucet

The faucets in your home may be one big petri dish of germs and cooties. Think about all the gross stuff you’ve needed to wash off your hands, and unless you have one of those touchless faucets, you’ve got all of the goo and slime intermingling on the handle of your faucet.

Gross. You need to scrub that thing every single day!
