2. Putting every kitchen utensil in the dishwasher
What makes it dirty: A dishwasher isn’t always effective at cleaning the tight crevices of smaller kitchen instruments like a garlic press, zester, or cheese grater. Mold might grow in these small utensils, which can then contaminate future meals, meaning you have the unfortunate chance to develop some health issues without even knowing why.
What can you do instead: Avoid using the dishwasher for small kitchen tools and wash them by hand with dish soap and hot water, giving special attention to the crevices and cracks.
Other than that, don’t forget that your machine can’t properly wash extremely dirty dishes, such as hard mashed potatoes on a plate. Before tossing them in, it’s best to take off those leftovers with a sponge, so everything is clean and fresh at the end of the cycle.

THANK YOU !! VERY USEFUL.
Yes! Thank you for the article.
Very helpful
I thought about the toilet brush idea before and I am cleaning it more often since Covid has surfaced. That never hurts anyways. Preventing illness goes a long way.
I’d clean it with a soap ( not soup) solution though. 🤣
A few drops of Lysol in cleaned toilet, swish toilet brush well & this should prove sufficient! The bottle claims it will kill even Covid germs.
what kind of soup do u recommend to clean the toilet brush?
Ha, ha! I wondered the same thing!!
Lol not soup soap the best thing is bleach
Homemade Chicken noodle soup. It will have never felt better!
Very helpful. I do most of the things I’ve read. Great to know my home is clean,
Very good information & helpful as well, thanks.
the suggested process of adding baking soda to vinegar is a waste of time. The vinegar will convert the baking soda to sodium acetate, water, as well as carbon dioxide gas. I suggest that you do two different steps. 1st vinegar as an anti microbial treatment and 2nd) baking soda to absorb odors.
I can’t believe that this a real cleaning suggestion.
Carbon dioxide is something we exhale. It is not good to be inhaled as it displaces oxygen and makes you drowsy or sleepy.
Bleach is a carcinogen and extremely dangerous!
Natural cleaners like vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, borax, and baking soda are certainly safer
