3. Not changing the towel or rag

What makes it dirty: Even if you saturate the rag with a cleaning solution, reusing it in other rooms of your home will only result in the transfer of dirt and dust from one surface to the next. This will cause you to spend more time cleaning rather than changing the cloth and completing the task much faster.

If you use the same towel to clean the bathroom, kitchen, living room, and then coffee table, every room in your house will be full of germs and bacteria.

What to do: One solution to stay away from microbes and pathogens is to use a fresh paper towel or microfiber cleaning cloth for each surface. After using a microfiber cleaning cloth, just chuck it in the wash or give it a good scrub to get rid of any dirt or grime.

  1. 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. 🤣

    1. 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.

  2. 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.
