5. Not cleaning your toilet brush
Why it’s unclean: When a toilet brush isn’t dried and stored properly after use, bacteria and mold might thrive in the warm, damp environment. Sounds bad, we know, but bacteria don’t do you any service, so the next time you use the brush, you’ll be rubbing these germs back into your toilet.
What to do instead: You can easily fix this by letting the toilet brush to air dry before putting it back in its holder after use. You can also clean it in a bowl with some soap after using it and then allow it to dry so you can place it where it belongs.
6. Not cleaning the right way
What makes it dirty: Dust and crumbs fall on the floor while sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming the floor prior to cleaning the furniture, which then needs a 2nd cleaning.
Methods for repair: Purge a room from the ceiling down. The windows should be cleaned 1st, followed by the furniture (desks, tables, chairs, sofas, ottomans, and so on), and finally the floor.

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
