Clean Your Kitchen Sponge\n

The kitchen sponge is a well-used cleaning tool. From your dishes to your counters, it soaks up a lot of dirt and leaves things sparkling. That\u2019s why it should come as no surprise that the kitchen sponge harbors a hefty amount of bacteria. The most effective and easy way to\u00a0clean your sponge\u00a0is to douse it in bleach. You\u2019ll want to soak it for at least five minutes in a solution of 3\/4 cup bleach to one gallon of water, then squeeze and rinse it out.\n

How to Clean Your Dishwasher\n

Clean Your Duster\n

No matter how hard we try to prevent it, dust happens. Dusters \u2014 whether cloth, feather, synthetic or disposable \u2014 are a necessity to keep your home as dust-free as possible. Cleaning your duster regularly will not only prevent spreading that old dust around, but it will help keep your duster in good condition.\n

Clean Your Washing Machine\n

Just because you\u2019re washing clothes regularly doesn\u2019t mean\u00a0your washer\u00a0can\u2019t use an occasional cleaning. Once a month, run an empty load with just hot water and bleach. We also recommend Affresh to kill mold and odors.\n

S-Hook Hang-Up\n

Once you\u2019re done cleaning the house, your cleaning supplies need a place to stay clean and organized too. Pick up a pack of S-hooks at a home\u00a0center and turn wire shelving into a\u00a0rack designated for cleaning gear.\n

Clean Your Dish Brush\n

You use it to clean your dishes, but how often do you actually\u00a0clean your dish scrubber brush? When not properly cared for, this tool we rely on for cleaning up in the kitchen can actually spread harmful bacteria. The trick is to make sure you\u2019re getting the best clean possible. Clean your dish scrubber brush once a week in the dishwasher, or with a vinegar mixture.\n

Clean Your Lint Trap\n

Even if you empty your dryer\u2019s lint trap before each load, chances are there is still lint buildup around the area that could\u00a0potentially start a fire.\u00a0That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to deep clean the area once in a while. Here\u2019s the best method we\u2019ve found for cleaning out your lint trap. Wrap a clean rag around one end of a paint stir stick. Remove the lint trap and clean out the area with the rag-covered stick. To help the rag pick up the lint, dampen it with water first.\n

Clean a Vacuum with a Vacuum\n

The typical way to clean the filter of a bagless vacuum is to tap it against the inside of a trash can until most of the dust falls off. But that raises a cloud of dust and doesn\u2019t get the filter completely clean. For faster, neater, more effective filter cleaning, use your shop vacuum. Clean pre-filter screens and post-filters the same way. Just remember to be gentle with the shop vacuum\u2019s nozzle. Some filters have a coating that you can scrape off if you press too hard.\n
