You're living in shed skin!
Up to 80% of dust in your home is made up of dead skin cells. Yuck! This is the reason why you should whip out Henry the hoover and a feather duster regularly! A lot of people overlook hoovering regularly, but keeping your home free of dust and airborne dirt can help to improve your breathing and reduce skin irritation.
Sink vs Toilet
Did you know that some kitchen sinks harbour more germs than your toilet? It's hard to believe! This is why it is important that you not only make sure your dishes are clean, but your sink as well! Wipe down the surface area around the sink as water from the washing up can be mucky and contain a lot of bacteria. If your counter is wood then water left to dry can also ruin your surface and the wood can soak up lots no good microbes.
Lemon squeezy
Run out of antibacterial spray during your cleaning spree? Slice up some lemons and use it to rub down your surfaces. Lemon juice is a great disinfectant and is a great way to leave your home smelling great too! Now you can save on buying air fresheners!
It's all on the surface
Some germs can live on moist surfaces for up to three days, so it's important to make sure that areas like your bathroom and kitchen are free from wetness and spillages. Germs can also live on dry surfaces for several hours so it's always handy to keep some antibacterial spray close by, especially if you have children and a lot of people in your house hold.
De-germ your cloths
Your average kitchen cloth can contain up to 4 billion germs! Wash them regularly and always hang them to dry after wiping down a spillage; this means no scrunching them up into balls and leaving it on the side! (We're all guilty of that from time to time). Always wash your dish cloths separately from your clothes and on hot setting to ensure all the germs are taken care of.
Slim down with cleaning!
Need some motivation to get you started? Did you know that you can lose 200 calories from 2 hours of cleaning? The next time you're trying to decide between hitting the gym or making time to clean up, just remember that you can now do both! We all know you'd rather be going to the gym to tone up and slim down, but remember that keeping clean also plays a big part in staying healthy, so take some time out of your day to get your hands dirty for a good cause.
