6 Things You Should Be Cleaning WAY More Often

1. A Shared Computer
Anything that gets a lot of direct contact with hands and fingers tends to have a scarily high concentration of germs, and all it takes for you to contract something is touching the mouse or keyboard and then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.

2. The Refrigerator Door
Whether it’s in your home or the one in the office break room.
Once a week (or daily if someone in your household is sick), rub a disinfectant wipe up and down the entire length of it, especially in any tiny grooves.

3. The Inside of Your Car
Run a disinfectant wipe along your dashboard weekly, which accumulates germs. Cup holders are also germ hangouts, thanks in part to the food residue you can’t even see.

4. Your Remote Control
You’ve heard reports that these are crawling with germs in hotels. But even in your own house, it’s one of the germiest surfaces. Everyone touches it all the time, especially when they’re eating, and that leads to bacteria and virus growth. Give it a wipe down weekly with an alcohol-based electronics cleanser.

5. Your Purse
Not only are you constantly touching the handle or strap, but you end up leaving it on a dirty restroom floor or store counter more than you think, and these areas have huge germ traffic. When you bring your bag into your house, you risk spreading anything you’ve picked up to yourself or family members. Spray or wipe it daily (or whenever you use it) with a fabric-safe sanitizing spray and paper towel, and hang it on a hook when you’re home so microbes can’t be tracked through the rest of the house.

6. Your Cell Phone
Considering all the handling it gets via germy, food-laden hands and fingers, and the fact that food helps bugs thrive, it’s a miracle this device doesn’t actually grow mold. It’s begging for a weekly cleansing with an alcohol-based cleaner meant for digital devices.
