How often do some housework need to be done?

It's not enough to rag your microwave only when that glass of milk overflows, no. Although many people believe that the device kills bacteria because it always works warm, the truth is that some germs and bacteria are resistant and stay there if you do not clean. The ideal thing is to do a weekly cleaning, and a good way to solve the problem is to boil a large cup with water, vinegar and lemon pieces until the solution forms bubbles of steam on the door of the appliance.

2 - Clean cookers and hoods

These devices should be cleaned whenever you use them, there is no crying. In the case of the hood, if you do not do many fried foods, you can clean it once a month.

While pillowcases and pillowcases are good barriers between your skin and the pillow itself, you must be aware that this does not prevent these materials from absorbing sweat, saliva and other body fluids. Each type of pillow and cushion has its own wash recommendation, as they are made of different materials, so check the manufacturer's instructions.

6 - Clean the fridge

Weekly, check which foods may be damaged in your refrigerator and clean the surface of possible spills. To know how often you should do that heavy cleaning, you need to look at the type of defrost on your appliance.

7 - Clean windows and curtains

If you have wooden blinds at home, dust them weekly. In the case of cloth curtains, one wash per year is sufficient unless the curtain is in a damp environment such as a bathroom or kitchen - in these cases you need to wash it more often. If your curtains are made of a very delicate fabric, professional, not homemade washing is recommended.

8 - Clean the oven

When the oven has accumulated fat for a long time, it will consume more energy when it is turned on and, moreover, it can spoil the taste of the prepared food. Every four months, your oven needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

After bathing, always let your towel dry in an airy environment as this kills bacteria, which love moist and warm tissues. Either way, it is best to put your bath towel to wash after four uses.

10 - Clear the toilet

Your bathroom toilet is not the cleanest place in the world, so as not to make it too inhospitable, clean the area at least once a week. Your toilet seat is a real bacterial hotel; To get rid of them, put on gloves and rub the accents with cleaning products. If you want to ensure even more that the environment is clean, pass white vinegar on the seat and leave it for 1 hour.

11 - Clean the fan

These devices accumulate dust, pollen, and other particles that eventually block the air inlets and outlets, so it's cool to clean your fan filters at least once a month, even so that the appliance doesn't end up dusting your dust house.

12 - Clean the couch

Once a year, clean your couch. This will make it look better and free of bacteria and the smell of dirt. A clean sofa also reduces the chances of mold growth in the environment, you know that?
