We have all been a bit wearier when it comes to cleanliness recently – one of the few positives of a worldwide pandemic. We all started thinking about what is clean and what is not and for many that meant cleaning their house more thoroughly. And while we are pretty sure everyone is wiping their door handles with a disinfectant wipe now, there are still a few places around your house you probably haven’t thought of cleaning but should.
1. Light Switches
These little areas are used as often as door handles if not more and we rarely think to give them a good clean. Just think about how many times a day you turn on and off the lights and how many people in your household do it too. We often spread germs through our hands and fingers, so give your light switches a good cleaning, paying special attention to those by the front door and by the bathroom.
2. Washing Machine
It might seem like a self-cleaning device, but it’s not quite true. A lot of the time washing machines start growing mold inside of it over time — this is what leads to that weird smell you might be familiar with. You can clean your washing machine easily if you just run it empty on the highest temperature setting and use vinegar instead of laundry detergent. Do this to keep your washing machine clean and fresh.
