Some mums believe that when it comes to sanitizing, the kitchen gets priority. However, there are plenty of other equally important places around your home. And you need to sanitize those spots to protect yourself and your family from germs. So, we did some searching and came up with some of the weird places you should sanitize everyday.
Before we dig into those weird places, we must tell you this. Most of these places are a little challenging to clean. However, with Dettol’s Disinfectant Surface Spray you will find that the task is way easier than you imagine. Not only does it kill 99.9% of viruses and germs. But it also gets germs that cause bad odors. Leaving any area smelling fresh and clean. Last, but not least, this disinfectant surface spray controls mold in all germ hotspots. So, you won’t have to ever worry about mildew or mold.
What weird places should you sanitize everyday?
Curtains
First let’s say this: unstained curtains do not necessarily mean clean curtains. In fact, they are one of the hotspots for germs, dust, and bacteria. Cleaning curtains can be a little neglected usually. Therefore, you should sanitize them and clean them once every 3 or 4 months.
In addition, the same applies to shower curtains. They are wet and humid which is a recipe for mold, mildew, and bacteria. So, make sure to disinfect those as well.
Couches
We use couches and sofas on a daily basis. They are a place for your family to gather, watch TV, eat, and play. So, they are used a lot, which means many germs can easily spread and collect on them. They must be on your sanitize everyday checklist. We suggest two steps to keep your couch clean and sanitized. One, is to spray it daily using Dettol Disinfectant Spray. This will sanitize them by killing all germs and also leave them smelling fresh and clean.
As for deep cleaning, you can always hire a cleaning company to steam your couches and disinfect them. You can do it yourself if you have a steam cleaner too. Moreover, if you can remove the seat covers on your couch, you can simply throw them in the washing machine. We suggest adding a cap full of Dettol Antiseptic Liquid to your detergent and fabric softener. This will disinfect the fabric and ensure it is sanitized and fresh smelling. Deep cleaning couches is best repeated once every 2 or 3 months.
Couches and sofas are used every minute of every day. Sometimes our couches turn into a place for the family to sit, eat, play, and sleep. Quickly wiping out stains does not mean the couch is clean and sanitary. But we suggest you include them in your deep cleaning schedule.
Pillows and mattresses
Bed mattress, pillows, and sheets can easily collect a lot of germs and bacteria. You should not overlook cleaning them regularly to avoid spreading those germs. So, make sure to change pillowcases and sheets weekly. Also, include disinfecting the mattress in your deep cleaning schedule. It is best to disinfect mattresses every 4 or 6 months.
Great hacks for sanitizing weird places around your home
1| Use your washing machine
Using a washing machine to clean curtains is a great way to sanitize and disinfect them. Almost all washing machines have programs for all sorts of fabrics. Including chiffon and lace. You can also use it to wash seat covers for couches and cushion covers. We suggest adding a cap full of Dettol liquid along with fabric softener and detergent. Moreover, you can use a mesh laundry bag to put all delicate fabrics when washing them.
2| Vacuum and sanitizing spray
On the other hand, some curtains are harder to take down. Or they are made of very delicate fabrics that cannot be put in a washing machine. Like cotton or silk. And it might be a little inconvenient to have a cleaning company on a daily or weekly basis. Therefore, we find using a vacuum very easy and convenient. So, start by vacuuming and make sure to get every spot whether your vacuuming curtains or couches. Then, use Dettol’s Disinfectant Surface Spray for a perfect disinfecting finishing touch.
3| Steam mops
A steam mop can be considered a costly gadget to get. However, it is one of the most efficient home appliances that guarantees a sanitized and disinfected house. It is a perfect cleaning tool that gets all germs and bacteria, especially if you have pets. All you gotta do is steam wherever you want, and use the right temperature to kill all germs and viruses.
