Even if you hire a cleaning service to scrub your home regularly, there are still some items you should take care of yourself in between sessions. This will ensure you and your family stay healthy, say the professionals at Final Touch Cleaning Services of Vandalia, OH. Here, they discuss a few areas that need more frequent attention.

Linens

Unfortunately, sheets tend to accumulate dead skin cells quickly, even if you shower before bed. And towels, especially those people wash their hands with, are often filled with bacteria, in addition to being the perfect breeding ground for fungus. To prevent skin irritation and other health issues, cleaning service professionals recommend washing all linens in hot water. Bed sheets should be cleaned once every 10 to 14 days, while towels should be tossed in the laundry every three days or sooner if they have food on them.

Surfaces

Door knobs and light switches are some of the most frequently touched areas of the home, and for this reason, they’re also some of the dirtiest. To keep them clean, wipe them down once a week with water and soap.

In addition, make sure you disinfect the kitchen sink every day. The food particles that fall off dirty dishes will breed microbes quickly, and these areas are prone to developing mold and mildew because they are exposed to moisture so often. You can protect your health by spraying rubbing alcohol and water over the entire sink and wiping it down with a clean cloth or paper towel. As an added bonus, it will shine when you’re done.
