Trying to clean your bathroom with dirty cleaning supplies just doesn’t make sense, right? Well, then why aren’t you taking the time to make sure your tools are sanitized? Most of us neglect our cleaning essentials and it’s only making things worse.
Scrub Brushes
Using a scrub brush or broom to get those stubborn areas sparkling? They should be cleaned at least on a monthly basis and you should be replacing broom heads every 6 months. To clean them, fill a bucket or a sink with enough warm water to completely submerge the tools and let them soak in bleach for 20 minutes. Then take them out carefully and rinse with warm water.
Sponges
Did you know that a sponge is likely the dirtiest thing you have in your entire house? To clean a sponge, run them through a cycle in the dishwasher or microwave them if they don’t contain any metal parts. Clean your sponges at least once a week.
Mops
If you have a mop with a removable head, throw it in the wash using hot water. If the head doesn’t come off, let it soak in a bucket full of hot water.
Vacuum Cleaners
You’ve probably never thought about cleaning your vacuum, right? Well, they should be cleaned at least twice a year. Rinse off all hard attachments in soapy water and clean out hair and string that may be caught in the hose or wheels.
Now that your cleaning supplies are in tip-top shape it’s time to get to work! Dedicate a few hours and some elbow grease and you’ll be on your way to a bathroom that sparkles!
