Don’t over clean
Most areas of your home – even bathroom surfaces – do not need to be disinfected to prevent illness.
The kitchen is the exception. Use very hot water and soap (or a very mild bleach solution) after every use to clean:
- Food preparation surfaces
- Utensils
- Cleaning rags
- Sponges
Try non-chemical solutions first
Often, preventive measures can avoid problems like a stopped-up drain. If you’ve got a mess on your hands, try non-chemical solutions as a first step. See Non-toxic Cleaning Tips.
