1. Use mouthwash to sanitize your toothbrush
When using a toothbrush, there is a high chance that we are directly introducing bacteria from the bathroom into our mouths. If you flush the toilet without closing the lid, waste particles will splash around and stick to surfaces and objects in the bathroom.
Therefore, you should sanitize your toothbrush by soaking it in mouthwash for 2 minutes after use.
2. Clean your oven with vinegar
You only need to heat the oven to 150 degrees F (about 70 degrees C), then turn off the oven and place a small cup of vinegar in a bowl on the top rack of the oven. Place a pan of boiling water on the bottom rack and close the oven door overnight. This will help the dirt to come off the oven easily, making it easier for you to clean it the next day.
3. Microwave your dish sponge
Your daily dish sponge contains a huge amount of harmful bacteria that can stick to the surface of dishes when we wash them. You should wet the dish sponge and microwave it for 1 minute to kill the bacteria.
4. Clean wooden kitchen utensils
Wooden kitchen utensils such as spoons and chopsticks are prone to bacterial and odor buildup, especially when they are put in the dishwasher or soaked. To prevent this, you should use a lemon to scrub the surface of the utensils to prevent odor absorption. You can also apply a layer of vegetable oil or coconut oil to these utensils to keep them shiny and prevent mold and moisture.
5. Regularly clean window sills
Windows and window sills are prone to moisture buildup, making them an ideal environment for mold and bacteria to thrive. Don’t forget to clean these areas to prevent harmful bacteria from affecting your family’s health.
6. Clean your hairbrush with shampoo
We often forget to clean our hairbrush, even though it is actually a dust trap. The reason is that our hair accumulates pollution and bacteria when we go outside, and then those dirt particles stick to the brush when we brush our hair.
Therefore, you need to clean your brush once a month by removing any hair strands tangled in the brush, soaking it in shampoo overnight, and rinsing it off.
7. Sanitize yoga mats with apple cider vinegar
Yoga mats are a hiding place for a lot of bacteria, not only from sweat during practice but also from placing them on the floor, especially at fitness centers. Therefore, you should clean your mat after each use by using a cloth soaked in a solution of equal parts water and apple cider vinegar to wipe the mat clean.
8. Clean silver jewelry with baking soda and salt
To restore the original beauty of your jewelry, you make a tray out of aluminum foil, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of salt. Place the jewelry on top and pour boiling water over it to soak overnight. This way, dirt and tarnish on the jewelry will disappear.
9. Clean your computer keyboard with homemade liquid solution
This liquid mixture is highly effective in cleaning dirt buildup in small crevices on the keyboard.
The method is extremely simple: mix 1 cup of warm water with dish soap in one bowl and 1/2 cup of warm water with alcohol in another bowl. Mix the two solutions and stir until thick – then knead it into a ball.
10. Use mesh bags in the dishwasher
To ensure that everything is properly cleaned in the dishwasher, you should use mesh bags to keep smaller items together. This prevents smaller pieces from slipping down and not being properly sanitized.
