75. Neglecting to Wipe Door Handles In Your Home
It’s easy enough to forget where the dirtiest areas of your home are. That’s because the dirt and grime aren’t that visible. We’re used to washing our hands all the time, sweeping the floor, and cleaning toilets and showers. However, have you considered the door handles in your home and how filthy they may be? Just think about it: all of those hands touching the handles. Furthermore, some of them are not being washed after coming in from outside. Strangers and visitors who come to your home, and you don’t know where their hands have been.
The thought of it right now is probably making your skin crawl. So to avoid contaminating the rest of your home, consider cleaning all of your door handles regularly. For example: at the end of every day. You can use bleach wipes to get the job done or a good disinfectant spray and a cloth to get the job done. That only gets rid of bacteria, however. If you’re worried about viruses, then you may want to consider a cleaning product that has alcohol content above 70%. You’ll be surprised by how less sick you and your kids will get in the future.
