When running a house cleanup, we usually neglect our washing machine. This is a dangerous behavior since the machine may end up spreading mold spores and bacteria in your clothes. This could be harmful to people who suffer from asthma and allergies; and even healthy people.

Experts advise that you should clean your machine once every 2 weeks. Use home cleaning products to clean your washing machine in order to get rid of the particles of dirt that can linger inside the drum as well as the softener and detergent compartments.

You can even clean it by running a wash cycle without any clothes at the highest temperature with citric acid or bleach.

Another thing you should never neglect when whole house cleaning is the toilet brush. This is one of the dirtiest objects in your dwelling due to what we use it for.

Also, we are making things worse when we leave the brush in a sealed container (which is a common thing in households around the world). This way, we are creating the perfect environment for germs to grow and prosper.

Moreover, when you are using the brush, these germs can spread all over the bathroom and may lead to diseases. Alternatively, you can use a holder to let the brush dry over the toilet seat.

We Rarely Disinfect Our Sinks

House cleaning can get frustrating sometimes due to how many things to clean around the house. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to neglect some of the most important parts of your kitchen: the sink.

Usually, we only clean the drain when we start smelling a bad odor from the sink. But what you need to be aware of is the fact that there are particles of dirt and food that get stuck in the drain, this gives the chance for bacteria to start growing there.

Therefore, when you pour water down the drain, these particles and dirt will return to the sink. Hence, you should use baking soda (1tbs) and pour a bit of vinegar on the top of it and give it chance to work its magic during the night, and then flush everything with boiling water in the morning.

Cleaning The Toothbrush Holder

The shocking thing is that you can run an excellent house cleaning but still neglect one of the dirtiest spots in your house: your toothbrush holder. It has been estimated that the toothbrush that you leave lingering around in your house contains over 100 million harmful bacteria.

These bacteria do not only come from your mouth, but it also comes from the toilet and the sink. What a lot of people are not aware of is the fact that when flushing the toilet, bacteria get released into the air and may get stuck to your toothbrush.
