Discover the 8 things in your home that you should clean every day
Except for a few true enthusiasts, none of us really likes cleaning and we often put off daily cleaning in favor of a more intense cleaning session once a week (or month). Although there's nothing wrong with this, there are areas and objects in the home that need daily cleaning: first of all for hygienic reasons, and secondly to ensure that your home always looks neat and tidy.
Furthermore, dividing the cleaning into daily, weekly and monthly sessions will allow you to lighten the workload, spreading the chores out over several days.
We list below 8 things in your home that you should clean every day:
1. Surfaces in the bathroom
The bathroom is a place where we pamper ourselves. As a result, every day, toothpaste, make-up, creams, lotions, hair and other bathroom products can spill, drip or otherwise mar the surfaces in the bathroom (the shelves in particular). Get into the habit of cleaning the bathroom every morning after your beauty routine is complete. It will help you keep the bathroom cleaner.
2. Glass sides of the shower
Now take a look at the shower: the glass cubicle can get covered in limescale stains if we let it air dry, and these stains are not easy to remove. Prevent limescale from forming by keeping a squeegee in the shower and wiping down on the cubicle after each use. Your shower stay cleaner for longer.
3. Dishes
We now move on to the kitchen, where the first thing to clean every day are the dirty dishes. When you are very tired in the evening, the temptation to go to bed leaving dirty dishes in the sink can be strong, but this bad habit leads to the development of bad smells and hardening of food residue on the crockery. Devote 10 minutes every evening for this task - it will be easier and faster to do now rather than later.
4. Kitchen sink
While you're at it, finish your kitchen cleaning with the sink. If left dirty, stainless steel or porcelain sinks can easily get stained, giving your kitchen a dingy, dirty look. Get into the habit - after washing the dishes - of rinsing out the sink and drying it with a dish towel to avoid the formation of limescale stains.
5. Sponge
Scientific studies have shown that the sponge you use to wash dishes with is dirtiest object in your home. So, washing and sanitizing it daily is vital. Let it air dry completely after use and clean it regularly by placing it in the dishwasher or soaking it in a solution of water, vinegar and baking soda.
6. Kitchen countertops
Few places get dirty more frequently than kitchen countertops: this is where we cook our meals and they can get covered in food residue. If you don't clean often enough, these surfaces can breed bacteria, so it's important to clean them every night to ensure maximum hygiene at all times.
7. Kitchen floor
Although there is no need to mop the kitchen floor every day, it is of fundamental importance to sweep up crumbs to prevent ants (and other insects) from invading your home. This operation can also be carried out in the evening after dinner, and preferably twice a day, after the main meals.
8. Refillable bottles
Refillable water bottles which you use every day are a perfect hosts for mold and bacteria and, for this reason, they should be washed out daily with hot water and soap. Only in this way can you ensure that you always have fresh water to drink.
