10 things you should be cleaning everyday

When it comes to cleaning, it's easy to focus on the big things—like washing your sheets once a week or taking out the trash—and forget about all the little details that can make a big difference in how clean you feel and look. Some of these tasks might be obvious to you, but others might not be! Here are some everyday cleaning hacks that will help keep your home fresh and tidy without being too labor intensive:

The shower.

The bathroom is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. It's also one of the most used rooms in your home, so it's important that you keep it clean!

• Showerhead: If you have hard water, use vinegar or baking soda to clean it regularly--but don't use soap!

• Shower curtain: Remove the curtain from its rings once a week and wipe down with mild bleach solution (1 teaspoon of bleach per cup of water). Rinse well before replacing on hooks or rings.

• Door: Clean hinges with toothpicks dipped in mineral oil; this will help prevent rusting over time. You can also apply WD-40 directly onto hinges as needed when they squeak or stick badly enough that they're difficult to open/close smoothly

The sink.

• How often to clean the sink:

You should be cleaning your sink at least once a week, or even more if you have a dishwasher. If you have kids, then it might be time to get on top of these things right away! It's also good to give some thought as to how often you want your drains cleaned out and pipes inspected for any signs of corrosion or damage. It's best not to wait until something goes wrong before getting them checked out by professionals--it could end up costing much more money than having done regularly would have cost in the first place!

• How do I clean my sink?

There are various ways that people choose from when it comes down cleaning their sinks: some use bleach while others prefer vinegar; some use scouring pads while others opt for sponges; still others prefer just plain old hot water (which does work well). If possible though I'd recommend using biodegradable products since they won't harm septic systems as much as traditional cleaners might do over time - especially when dealing with large amounts being poured down drains every day by multiple people living inside one house together."

Your toilet.

Cleaning the toilet is a serious business. This is why, as you're cleaning, you should be singing this song:

• Clean the seat and lid

• Clean around the bowl, too!

• Use disinfectant cleaner for good measure!

Your garbage cans.

You should clean your garbage cans every week. To do this, use disinfectant wipes to clean the lid, inside and outside of the can. Next, spray some disinfectant spray onto a cloth and wipe down all surfaces of both garbage cans (including lids). Finally, use a new disinfectant wipe on each lid's inside surface as well as its outside surface before storing it away again so that no germs linger behind!

Your dishwasher, kitchen appliances and surfaces.

Your dishwasher, kitchen appliances and surfaces.

The most important thing to remember when cleaning your kitchen is that it's not just about the dishes--you should also be cleaning the inside of your microwave, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher. The best way to do this is with a sponge or cloth (not steel wool). You can also use baking soda if there is any food stuck on the inside of these appliances.

If you're looking for an easy way to get rid of smells in these areas, sprinkle some baking soda on top of a damp sponge or cloth before scrubbing away at greasy stains or smelly food particles!

Windows, sills and blinds.

• Windows, sills and blinds.

These areas are often neglected but they can get really dirty. Dust, dirt and grease can build up on windowsills, which means that you'll want to clean them regularly with a damp cloth. Blinds can also be greasy around the edges so it's best not to leave them untouched for long periods of time either! Curtains should be washed once every two weeks or so--more often if you have pets or children who tend to make messes (or if you're just messy yourself).

Door handles, light switches and doorknobs.

• Door handles and light switches: These are often overlooked in cleaning, but they can collect germs.

• Doorknobs: The doorknob is a common source of infection, especially if someone has been sick or had their hands on the door knob with unwashed hands. You should clean it with anti-bacterial wipes or disinfectant spray on a regular basis (or daily).

Mattresses, pillows and bedding.

It's no secret that mattresses and pillows can collect a lot of dust, hair and other debris over the course of a week. This is especially true if you or your partner have long hair (or pets!). Make sure to vacuum your mattress and pillows every six months, as well as wash sheets at least once a week. If allergies are an issue for you, invest in an allergen-proof mattress cover so that allergens don't get trapped between the layers of fabric on your bedding--and look out for down feathers: they're notorious for releasing allergens into the air when they're disturbed by movement!

Carpets, rugs and furniture.

Carpets and rugs are one of the most important elements of your home. They can be used to add color, texture and style to any room. However, they can also get dirty if you're not careful about how you clean them.

You have several options when it comes to cleaning carpets:

• Vacuum them regularly with a powerful vacuum cleaner that has an upright brush attachment (or hire someone else). This will get rid of any loose dirt or debris on top of the carpet fibers but won't really reach down into their depths where bacteria may be lurking; this is particularly important if you have kids or pets who run around barefoot in these areas often! Or use steam cleaning equipment instead which uses hot water mixed with detergent to loosen up dirt particles so they're easier for vacuums/mop heads etc., then suck them up into their tanks ready for disposal later on down stream at some point during operations which usually involves emptying tanks after every use too just before starting again next time round when needed again."

There are many things you don't even realize need cleaning until you do it!

There are many things you don't even realize need cleaning until you do it!

Cleaning your home is not only good for your health, but also helps with allergies and asthma. If you have kids or pets in the house, this will also help prevent them from getting sick too often.

It's easy to do and will make your life easier! You can do it in a few minutes a day if that works best for your schedule or if there are other things going on at home (like homework). The most important thing is just STARTING - once we start something, our brains always find ways around excuses like "it's too much work" or "we don't have time." Once we get started on something small like cleaning our sinks or countertops, everything else seems easier because we've already gotten started!

Conclusion

Cleaning is a necessary part of life, and if you don't do it, it will show. By taking care of the little things in your home, you can ensure that your space stays clean and fresh-smelling at all times.
