that’s gathered, especially for painted white baseboards that can show dirt easily.
INSIDE YOUR FRIDGE, CABINETS AND PANTRY
Most people are guilty of hold- ing onto produce past its prime or forgetting about expired flour lurk- ing in the back of the pantry. While it’s hard to ignore grease splatters on your stove or pasta sauce spills across your counter, cleaning the inside of your fridge, cabinets and pantry may not be a part of your everyday rou- tine, but doing so every three or four months can remove lingering grease, grime and crumbs, and cut down on potential odors.
As part of your next refrigerator refresh, start by tossing all expired products or produce. You can use disinfecting wipes to pick up any crumbs, wipe away sticky or dried- on spills and kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria while you’re at it. After you’re done, rinse or wipe down any
food contact surfaces, like your pro- duce shelves, with warm water and allow to air dry.
Next, remove everything from your pantry and cabinets, working in sections if needed. Toss out any expired items along the way, and once empty, vacuum up any linger- ing crumbs. Following that, you can wipe surfaces down with a disinfect- ing wipe to clean, disinfect and de- odorize at the same time. Now you’re ready to restock the shelves.
UNDER APPLIANCES
Appliances such as your stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer can harbor hidden dirt, dust and even crumbs. Once or twice a year, it’s worth moving what you can, like your fridge which is typically on wheels, or using the crevice attach- ment of a vacuum to clean beneath and around the base of the appliance. You can also wipe the areas down to remove crumbs, stubborn food smudges, grease and grime.
CLEANING TOOLS
That’s right — your cleaning tools need a little TLC too. Your cleaning supplies deserve the same attention as the rest of your home to avoid simply spreading around the dirt and grime.
On top of emptying your vacuum regularly, make sure to remove dust, hair or threads clinging to the beater bar or brush. You can disinfect toilet brushes, mop heads and smaller tools like brushes and sponges in a hot wa- ter and bleach solution regularly to help you get a more thorough clean and ensure that your tools are ready for your next big deep clean.
Knowing how to uplevel your cleaning routine can help you main- tain a cleaner space and a happier you. To find more tips and product recommendations like these, visit clorox.com.
