Clean these 20 household items

Daily Tasks

  • Kitchen countertops: Keep them crumb-free to avoid attracting pests.
  • Bathroom sinks: Wipe down to remove toothpaste splatter and water stains.
  • Floors in high-traffic areas: A quick sweep keeps dirt from spreading.

Weekly Tasks

  • Bed linens: Swap them out for fresh sheets.
  • Bathroom tiles: A quick scrub prevents mildew buildup.
  • Mirrors and glass: Polish them for a streak-free shine.

Monthly Tasks

  • Ceiling fans and light fixtures: Dust loves to settle here.
