Have you ever wondered if you should clean your counter more often? How about dusting your shelves? There are a lot of items in our houses that need constant attention and cleaning, be it for maintenance or just to get rid of any dirt or germs that may be lying around. Yet, are you sure you are cleaning all of the things that need special attention?

There are numerous items that we have known from the dawn of time which need to be washed or disinfected because they seem to attract grime and bacteria: like almost anything in our bathrooms and kitchens, which are notorious for getting dirtier faster than other rooms. However, there are a lot of smaller items that you have in your house that you may not know to need the same attention as full rooms. There are even some things in the kitchen that you may not think about washing!

Here we have gathered some of the things that we believe you may have ignored when it came to last year’s spring cleaning! Let us know if you have any other items that would fit right into our list!

    Faithfully, at the end of every month, I run my washing machine with a packet of Tide washing machine cleaner. Surprised this wasn’t included on the list.

    I clean all of those everyday plus my wash machine. I always have cleaned my whole house daily at different time’s I have had up to 7 kid’s in my home so it was important to me to keep everything clean all the time.
