The areas in our homes that we're forgetting to clean.
✅Air Conditioning Filter
Regardless of whether you use your air conditioning unit year round or for just one season, you probably aren't cleaning it correctly. We're not just talking about the outside—its insides, where the filter is located, really need your attention.
✅ Oven
How often you use your oven will determine how frequently it should be cleaned. For those not comfortable with the self-cleaning feature, most ovens can be cleaned using a soapy water solution and cloth, sponge, or soft brush.
✅ Toilet brush and cup
This is certainly one of the last household items we'd like to touch, let alone clean, but it's a must. The easiest way to do this is to place it between the toilet and toilet seat, then spray it with a strong disinfectant such as white vinegar or rubbing alcohol. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse it using very hot water.
✅ Water and Fridge Filters
Your fridge might come with its own water filter, but that needs to be changed out just as often as the one in a stand-alone filtration pitcher—twice per year or every six months, depending on how often you use them.
✅ Coffee Maker
This workhorse appliance deserves a regular cleaning. The best way to do so if you can't commit to a daily wipe down with soap and water. Use the vinegar cycle trick once per week.
