Get Your Clean On! (Safely & Effectively)
Here are some helpful tips to keep your home and office clean! Especially during these unprecedented times, sanitary is key to everyone’s health and safety!
Keeping Stuff Dry!
- Moisture attracts bacteria and mildew in the bathrooms and kitchens.
- Leave the shower door or curtain open when not in use to allow it to air dry.
- If your bathroom has a vent fan instead of a window, try to keep the fan on for a while to air out the steam.
- If you have a window, keep it open to let air flow through.
- Leave the washing machine door open between loads.
- Don’t put dirty wet rags or dish cloths in the hamper. Hang them to dry between your laundry sessions
Yes to the Power of the Sun!
The sun’s UV rays are natural virus-fighters. Letting sunlight into a room will make it less welcoming for microorganisms. Put your bedding out in the sun to freshen up – pillows, comforters, mattress protectors, stuffed animals, upholstery, and more.
Everyday Household Items / Ingredients:
Lemons:
- Great for scrubbing smelly cutting boards. Cut in half and use it to rub coarse salt into the board.
- Steam-clean the microwave by squeezing juice and putting the halves into a bowl with water, microwaving for 3 minutes, and leaving to sit 5 minutes before removing. You’ll be able to wipe it down easily.
- Rub lemon halves all over faucets for instant shine.
- Add 3 tbsp lemon juice to a squeeze bottle of water and use to clean glass and mirrors with a microfiber cloth.
Baking soda:
Use as a deodorizer, abrasive, and brightener. It can get rid of soap scum, add shine to a stainless steel sink, clean grout when applied in a paste and left for 10 minutes, deodorize carpets, and boost laundry.
Vinegar:
It’s a powerful cleaner whose scent can be masked by steeping with citrus peels for a few days, then straining before use.
Mix 1:1 with water to clean stainless steel appliances. Polish faucets and cutlery with a microfiber cloth dipped in a water-vinegar solution.
HAPPY CLEANING EVERYONE 🙂
