With all the stresses, demands, and deadlines of modern life, barely anybody has time to give their house a good, deep clean. Most people fall into a familiar cleaning routine that keeps their house good enough, but not as clean as it could be.
But why settle for good enough? Now is the perfect time to give your home some extra sparkle with these two quick and easy tips! For example, did you know that dirty pillows can be a breeding ground for fungi? Read on to find out what you may be missing in your regular cleaning routine.
Sliding doors may save space and look chic, but dirt can accumulate fast in the tracks. Plus, the many ridges and corners in the tracks make them notoriously difficult to clean. Try this cleaning regimen once a week to keep your door tracks smooth and shiny:
Vacuum up any loose dirt or dust with a handheld vacuum or small vacuum attachment.
Wrap the brush with a dump cloth or wet tissue to clean the excess dust from the surface and edges.
Wipe the door frame with a dry cloth.
Be sure to clean both sides of the door frame. This will keep your doors sliding smoothly.
Over 90 percent of people wash their sheets every other week; however, studies show that this may not be often enough. When we sleep, dried sweat and dead skin cells accumulate in our bedding, creating conditions ripe for the growth of germs. The current recommendation is to wash sheets once a week for a more hygienic sleeping environment. Plus, what is better than going to sleep in a nice, clean bed?
Another fact not commonly known is that pillows harbor a multitude of bacteria, so they should be replaced every year. Duvets, on the other hand, can be safely used as long as fifteen years if a duvet cover is properly used.
