HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN THESE

SHEETS: 

Wash every week. Body oil, dirt, dead skin and dust mites are waiting to be washed out. Use the hottest water for the fabric and detergent. White vinegar makes a great fabric soften. ¼ cup per load. 

PILLOWS: 

The forgotten part of the bed. Remove the cases and put in the dryer on “Air Fluff” to remove dust mites, dust, pet hair and dead skin. Do this monthly. Wash them every 6 months following care directions.

JEANS: 

Launder every 4 -6 times you wear them unless they become heavily soiled. Turn wrong side out, use mild detergent, no bleaching products and cold water. It drying in the dryer, turn right side out, match up the seams as if you were hanging them and fold in half. Lay them in the dryer and dry on low. Take out when damp and smooth before hanging. 

PURSE/BRIEFCASE: 

Dirtier than a toilet seat! You sit it on the floor everywhere, in restaurants, bathrooms, offices, etc. For leather, wipe the bottom with warm water and soap and dry or use a baby wipe. For vinyl bags, use a disinfecting wipe, baby wipe, alcohol wipe or hot water and soap. For a fabric purse be sure you treat it with Scotchgard™ Fabric Protector and wipe with a damp cloth to clean.

STEERING WHEEL: 

You put your hands on it every day. You eat in the car and handle it, you pump gas, it’s filthy! Put 50% warm water and 50% rubbing alcohol on a paper towel. Rub firmly, changing the towel out as it gets soiled. Dry with a paper towel. I do this once per week. You can also use a disinfecting wipe.

REMOTE CONTROL/LIGHT SWITCHES/DOOR HANDLES: 

Disgusting! When was the last time you clean these? 
The remote: Use a cloth wrung out in rubbing alcohol to clean the remote. Dip a soft toothbrush into some alcohol and shake off until it is not wet. Brush around the keys and wipe down with a paper towel.

Light switches and door handles: Use a disinfecting wipe to wipe these down every week. It only takes minutes and even the kids can do it. 

TRACKER BAND: 

So many people are wearing the tracker bands such as Fitbit™. Many people forget to clean the band that ends up with food, lotions, sweat and other things on it. Clean it weekly for sure. Take off the band, remove the tracker and clean the band with mild soap and water, shampoo and water or a baby wipe and dry thoroughly. This will keep skin irritations away as well as keeping it clean.
