Interesting facts about cleaning that you definitely don’t know!

Do you still think that cleaning is simple and straightforward? Put on rubber gloves, prepare soapy water and go! It would seem, what could be easier? But keeping your home clean, as it turns out, is not so easy. 

We have picked up some interesting facts about cleaning, which will definitely surprise you and make you look at rubber gloves differently.

Rubber gloves are a nursery of bacteria!

Everyone thinks that using rubber gloves protects you from germs and dirt. But have you ever wondered what is hiding inside those gloves? It’s the perfect breeding ground for bacteria because it’s warm and moist. We recommend washing your gloves regularly with hot water and a little detergent. Be sure to make sure they are completely dry before use. In general, it is best to use disposable gloves for cleaning. 

Replace your rag and sponge!

Your dishwashing sponge contains millions of germs. Clean your sponge regularly with hot water and dishwashing detergent to avoid these bacteria. The rag also contains billions of live germs. Try to change your rag daily to prevent the spread of germs.

Germs can live on surfaces for up to 3 days!

Germs can live for up to 3 days on wet surfaces such as the kitchen sink and bathroom sink. On dry surfaces, such as toys and furniture, they can live for several hours. To prevent germs from breeding, make sure you clean all surfaces thoroughly. It’s best to do your cleaning every day. 

Wash your doorknobs!

Doorknobs contain a lot of bacteria because people don’t wash their hands well. Clean door handles regularly with disinfectant or wipes to prevent these germs from multiplying. 

Vacuum cleaners release dust, bacteria, and allergens into the atmosphere!

Some dust, bacteria and allergens are released into the atmosphere by vacuum cleaners. To prevent this from happening, make sure your vacuum cleaner has a high-efficiency particulate filter. You should clean or change the filter on a regular basis. This will help in improving the indoor air quality. 

Wash your refrigerators without sanitizers!

Using sanitizers when washing your refrigerator can spoil food, giving it an unpleasant taste and odor. Use warm, soapy water instead. If you do use sanitizers, leave the door open for a few hours to air out and then wipe the inside of the refrigerator with hot water to avoid leaving harmful residue.

Antibacterial detergents want to live longer!

They should be left on surfaces for 30-60 seconds before wiping them off. So don’t spray the surfaces and wipe them right away, as you will leave the little germs to multiply.
