Home Chores To Do When You Feel Like You Should Be Cleaning EVERYTHING
Chances are, right now, you're home. And in between working, eating, sleeping, and doing just about all your living at home right now, you can't escape the realities of your place. You're seeing everything, all the time, and now perhaps with more of a discerning eye. Maybe with even a nervous eye. Is your place as clean, scrubbed, and sanitized as possible? If you feel like just about everything in your space needs a good cleaning, here are some projects to start on ... at least for some peace of mind, if not for something to do.
1. Keep the inside of your fridge smelling good.
Chances are you've bought more food than usual. Chances are some food might expire. So, add this to your refrigerator.
2. Keep the inside of your home smelling good.
More time inside = more funk factor. Keep it fresh with a DIY freshener.
3. Disinfect your washing machine.
Especially if someone has been sick. But you may still just want to give it a deep clean any time.
4. REALLY clean your sheets and towels.
Again, try this method for whenever you want to do a deep clean, and for sure after someone has been sick. You'll want to sanitize those linens.
5. Clean these particular things and places in your home during cold and flu season.
Because germs lurk in secret places.
6. Give your place an always-clean look by following these three things.
You might not be expecting company to drop in, but you'll be able to stay on top of having your place feel orderly and free of chaos – and isn't that exactly what we're all needing right now?
7. Make your own antibacterial surface spray.
This way you don't have to rely on the store having an all-purpose spray cleaner in stock.
8. Keep bacteria off of kitchen counters.
Please clean your kitchen counters. Especially if you're putting your grocery bags on top of them after you shop.
