How To Keep Your Cleaning Tools as Clean as Your
Home

• Clean tools really are the key to a clean home,
  and if you dont clean your tools regularly, you
  could be making your home dirtier, not cleaner!
  To help you clean your home more effectively and
  hygienically, here are some simple tips for
  keeping your tools clean
• Mop heads
• Ideally, youll have a mop with a removable head
  that can simply be popped into the washing
  machine as often as required (depending on how
  often you use it, you might want to do this
  weekly or after every use), and while this may
  eventually ruin the mop head, you can simply
  replace it when needed theyre not too
  expensive, after all.

• If you have a sponge mop, soak the head in a
  bucket filled with a cup of hot water and a cup
  of vinegar, and leave it to soak for around
  thirty minutes.
• Brooms
• Giving your broom a good thwack against a wall
  outside should help get rid of a lot of the dust
  and dirt, alternatively, you can vacuum it for a
  similar effect. To give it a deep clean once a
  month or so, place the broom into a bucket filled
  with warm, soapy water for around an hour.

• Vacuums
• Vacuums quickly get dirty inside, and if you
  dont clean the interior and the filters
  regularly, you could end up simply transferring
  dust and dirt around your home. Some vacuums come
  with instructions for cleaning, in which case,
  refer to those, for others, try to clean the dust
  cup, filters and brush roll without damaging
  them.
• Sponges
• The dishwasher is great for cleaning sponges, as
  is the microwave pour a tablespoon of vinegar
  over a wet sponge and microwave it for 2 minutes.
  Remember to allow the sponge to cool before you
  take it out of the microwave, once the time is up.

• Toilet Brushes
• You might use bleach when scrubbing your toilet
  bowl with a brush, but the brush will still hold
  onto bacteria and grime over time, so clean it at
  least once a month by pouring 2 cups of bleach
  into your clean toilet bowl, and allowing the
  brush to soak in it for an hour. Then, rinse and
  let it air dry by wedging it between the toilet
  seat and the rim. Dont forget to wash the brush
  holder out with bleach, too, or use a
  disinfecting wipe for convenience.

• Microfiber Cloths
• These incredible dusting tools need only be
  washed every week, and will go inside your
  washing machine, just be sure to put them on a
  gentle, cold-water cycle.
• It might take a little extra time to clean your
  cleaning tools, but its definitely worth it to
  make sure your home is hygienically clean, and to
  prevent germs, grime and dust from being
  transferred around.
