- Your Remote Control
Ever think about cleaning your remote control when watching your TV? I do it all the time, not never! Well… possibly the next time you choose to sit and relax and watch your favorite show, you should consider grabbing a wet wipe or damp cloth and clean your filthy remote, especially if your little ones use it! The amount of bacteria and build up on remote controls can be very surprising. Check your white clean cleaning cloth after cleaning and be amazed at the filthiness!
- Your Car Steering Wheel
You might be thinking your car steering wheel looks fine however take a white damp towel, wipe it and you will be appalled at the grossness you will see coming off that thing! Also think about how many other people drive your car besides you. When you get your oil changed, take it to the mechanic or even your 16 new driver kid who probably doesn’t wash his hands after the bathroom or still picks his boogies! Just saying!
- Pop Up Sink Toppers
These things get full of hair and slimy goo created over time. Just pull it up and rub your finger underneath and prepare to be amazed at the grossness! You can wipe it off by removing it or use vinegar and baking soda to clean your whole drain. Be careful when mixing these two because you will notice a volcano type of reaction. Although if you have little ones around they might like to see the eruption. It’s pretty cool!
- Air duct return vent
There are several ways to clean air duct returns. The first one is simply grabbing a butter knife and place a thin wet rag on the end of it. Then stick it inside the grills and move back and forth. Another way is simply pulling the screens off with a screw gun or screw driver and use a shop vacuum hose to suck out the dust. Or if you’re unsure of your cleaning abilities then simply call a local professional air duct cleaner to do the job for you. Not only can they clean out your returns but all of your vents as well. If you live in the DFW area Quality Care Carpet Cleaning can give you a reasonable rate and clean all your air unit for a million dollars!
- Credit Cards
You may not be grossed out at the idea of just you touching your own credit card but think about the person behind the counters who potentially don’t wash their hands. Some even pick their nose! Gross! Say no to bogies!
- Can Opener
8 out of 10 people never consider washing their can opener. I’ll admit I’m one of the 8 people. Think of how often you use one and have buildup of different canned food material.
- Your Kids Legos
Think about how many pieces are touched and how often your kids wash their hands before play time? You can place them in a special laundry bag and place in your washing machine. Works great! It’s the bee’s knees and cats pajamas!
- Your Knife Block
Depending on how much you cook you may want to consider taking all of your knifes out and clean the block. You could be amazed at the sight of its grossness!
