Quick Home Detox: Disinfecting Often-Overlooked Areas

While large-scale home detox projects like installing water filters or air purifiers are beneficial, preventing illness often hinges on addressing smaller, frequently neglected areas. This quick home detox focuses on disinfecting commonly overlooked spots to minimize toxins, bacteria, allergens, and harmful chemicals.

Here are some frequently forgotten areas needing regular cleaning:

1. Doorknobs: Wipe down weekly with a natural disinfectant to eliminate bacteria.
2. Dishcloths: These harbor bacteria due to dampness. Boil in water with natural detergent daily for thorough disinfection. Multiple cloths allow for regular changes.
3. Water taps: Rinse daily while washing hands to remove bacteria buildup.
4. Toilet handles: Use disinfectant wipes after each use, daily or as needed.
5. Mobile phones/tablets/keys: These items frequently touch various surfaces. Wipe with a disinfectant wipe for easy cleaning.
6. Kitchen countertops: Thoroughly wipe down to remove unseen food particles and decomposing matter.
7. Refrigerator: Clean monthly, paying attention to raw and cooked food areas to prevent cross-contamination. Don't forget the handles!
8. TV remote: Disinfect frequently due to high-touch frequency.
9. Computer keyboard/mouse: Clean regularly to remove crumbs and other debris.
10. Light switches: Disinfect regularly due to high-touch frequency.
11. House phone (landline): If used, disinfect the receiver regularly.

Regularly disinfecting these frequently touched areas is a simple way to improve your home's hygiene. Create a cleaning schedule and dedicate a short time each weekend to maintain a cleaner, healthier home environment.
