Tips for Cleaning Household Items Often Neglected
Maintaining a balance in cleaning frequency is essential to preserve the quality of household items and reduce water and electricity waste. However, the ideal cleaning schedule can vary based on several factors. Here are other commonly overlooked items and how often they should be included in your cleaning routine:
- Pillows: Pillows should be washed every 3-6 months to remove dust mites, bacteria, and oils absorbed from your skin.
- Bath Towels: Wash bath towels after 3-4 uses to prevent mustiness and bacterial growth.
- Makeup Brushes: Clean makeup brushes at least once a week to prevent buildup of bacteria and ensure smooth application.
- Mattresses: Mattresses should be vacuumed every few months and flipped or rotated every 6 months to maintain shape and support.
- Refrigerator: Wipe down refrigerator shelves and compartments monthly to prevent mold growth and food contamination.
- Shower Curtain: Wash or replace shower curtains every 3-6 months to prevent mildew buildup.
By adhering to a regular cleaning schedule tailored to specific items, including hard-to-clean areas, you can prolong their lifespan, maintain cleanliness, and contribute to a more sustainable household environment.
