2. Silverware tray

I’m guilty of this. Is your silverware tray part of the things you don’t clean enough? Because in my house, it definitely is. Reaching for a spoon and seeing a handful of crumbs isn’t exactly appealing, but I tend to blame my kids for leaving the drawer open because they do that all the time.

However, don’t be like me and wash your silverware tray once a month, because you don’t want to put all sorts of germs and bacteria in your body, right?

Just take out all your silverware, dump out the debris in your sink or over the trash, and wash your tray with dishwashing gel and warm water. You can also try a DIY cleaning method, which consists of mixing one part distilled vinegar and two parts water in a bowl, and then using that to make your tray immaculate.

There are many things you don’t clean enough, so click on the next page to see more!
