Despite all your good will, your interior may not be as clean as you think. A small oversight may be the cause.
Whether you use a cloth to dust and clean the surfaces, vacuum the floor or mop the floor with a broom, the problem is always the same. You may spend hours cleaning your interior, but it will never be completely clean if you don’t take this simple, but decisive precaution when it comes to dirt and bacteria. The worst? You could well end up with streaks, residue, bad odors and even germs throughout the house.
But then, what should you do to keep your home clean and healthy? You absolutely must think about the tools you use and maintain them properly. It is essential to clean them to prevent them from becoming counterproductive. Cleaning your household accessories is essential for several reasons: it limits the spread of bacteria, preventing germs from being dispersed during cleaning. This also ensures greater efficiency, as clean tools, such as a mop or sponge, clean without leaving residue or bad odors. In addition to preserving health by reducing the risk of allergies or irritation, maintaining your accessories extends their lifespan, which is both economical and ecological. Finally, this helps to keep the interior truly clean and healthy, without reintroducing dirt.
To keep your household tools clean, follow a few simple steps after each use. Machine wash microfiber cloths with mild detergent to remove dirt and bacteria. Rinse the mop heads and sponges with warm, soapy water, then let them air dry to avoid unpleasant odors. Also remember to empty and clean the tank of your vacuum cleaner regularly and to change or wash its filters according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Final advice, disinfect your household accessories regularly, especially those that are frequently in contact with very dirty or humid areas, such as sponges or mops, using white vinegar. With these habits, your accessories will stay efficient and ready for the next cleaning.
