1. Kitchen sink, countertop, and sponges
Simple Fix: After you rinse or cook food, clean the sink, counters, and faucet with soap and water or an antibacterial cleanser. Clean your sponges in the dishwasher or washing machine instead of leaving them by the sink to use again.
2. Your cutting boards
Use a glass or plastic cutting board to limit the number of germs. After using, soak in hot and soapy water.
3. Wet laundry
Think 150 degrees, the temperature at which you should run your washer and dryer, to kill bacteria.
4. Your toothbrush
After brushing, rinse your toothbrush with hot water and stand it up in a water glass to air-dry.
5. The bathtub/shower
Use a disinfecting cleanser once a week on the bathroom floor and sides of the tub and shower; rinse well and dry the surfaces with a towel. Keep the shower dry on a daily basis by using a squeegee, and disinfect the squeegee weekly, too.
6. Your cell phone and other tech stuff
Clean the surfaces of your phone or other tech devices with a disinfecting product. Something like a wet wipe works perfectly, since you don’t want to get it too wet.
7. Bathroom floor
Be sure to close the lid of the toilet before you flush. Also, mop your bathroom floor once a week with a bleach-based cleanser. And clean and dry mats used on your bathroom floor; damp ones help mold and bacteria grow.
8. Your shoes
Remove your shoes at the door. Wipe your feet on a high-quality, abrasive doormat. Try and use eco-friendly products on your lawn as well.
9. The bedroom
To eliminate dust mites and the dead skin cells they eat, wash bedding in hot water at least once a week. Turn up the water heater to a dust mite–killing 130 degrees before you wash, and turn it back down afterward.
10. Dusty spots
Wet-mop floors at least once a week to keep dust to a minimum. And vacuum smarter with a high-quality unit that has a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Vacuum not just floors and carpets but soft furnishings and even counters and bookshelves.
