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.

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
