Thorough cleaning
of the house is essential. With the coronavirus outbreak, cleaning
and disinfecting the house has become all the more important.
Most people follow
a cleaning routine which includes bed, countertops, kitchen, coffee
table etc. But there are some places that are typically missed out
while cleaning, even by cleanliness-driven people. Read on to find
out what you may have overlooked, and learn how you can ensure a
tidy, germ-free house.
Coffee Maker
While we take care
of the jar, we often forget the coffee maker. Overtime, the coffee
maker can accumulate hard water deposits and coffee residue, which
can breed bacteria. The coffee maker should ideally be cleaned once a
month by running a brew cycle of white vinegar diluted with equal
quantity of water. As the brewing takes place, turn off the machine
through half the cycle and let it sit for about an hour, turn the
machine on and let the cycle complete. After the vinegar mixture, run
plain water through the cycle for 3-4 times till the smell of vinegar
disappears. Clean the carafe and the filter separately. You can also
use professional coffeemaker cleaner instead of the vinegar-water
solution.

Door and Window Handles and Knobs
We touch unclean
surfaces outside and then we touch our door knobs and handles, our
windows etc. We touch them tens of times during the day and clean
them maybe just once a week. To keep your home free of deadly viruses
and bacteria, we need to make sure we clean out knobs and handles
every day, and more frequently during the Corona Virus outbreak. Use
a disinfectant with a cleaning tissue to make the handles and knobs
germ free.

Switches
The electric
switches around the house need to disinfected too. Spraying water or
alcohol-based liquids can be dangerous with switch boards. Use
disinfectant wipes to clean the switches around the house.

Throw Pillows
So, you’ve been
diligent in cleaning your bedroom pillows, but when was the last time
you cleaned the fancy throw pillows on the sofa in your living room.
Maybe you did clean the throw pillows with the vacuum cleaner, but
every once in a while, it’s important to wash them. Remove the
cover if it’s removable. Wash the covers and the throw pillows in
your washing machine in the ‘gentle’ or ‘delicate’ washing
cycle. If you are drying them in the dryer, set it on ‘low tumble’
and ‘low-medium’ heat. Or you can choose to hang your pillows for
dying in a well ventilated area. Fluff the pillows when dry.

Bathroom Décor
After you’ve
cleaned your bathroom, bacteria and germs still linger on, on the
toothbrush holders, vases, baskets and other décor and accessories
in the bathroom. All the accessories in the bathroom need a generous
antiseptic/antibacterial rundown to ensure a germ free home.

Washing Machine
and Dishwasher
While your washing
machine is cleaning the clothes, dirt and germs from the clothes can
get accumulated around the tub, and every time you wash your clothes,
you are actually running your clothes through the colony of germs.
Same with the dishwasher. Food debris, soap scum, hard water scaling
and even mold, can be deposited inside your dishwasher. Make sure you
run a round of cleaning with an anti-bacterial solution to make the
cleaners clean.
