3 Places Your Home May Be Hiding Germs

Germs are present in your home whether you want to believe it or not. If you knew all of the germs and pests that have at some point crossed through your home, you may be afraid to eat or sleep in there again. But, fortunately for you, you can keep your home clean with professional Sacramento residential cleaning services offered by Maid Complete.

We think that it is necessary for you to know some of the most common places that you can find germs hiding within your home. Some of these places are in areas where you may not have even thought of.

1. Your Floors

While your floors may look clean, they are likely covered in dirt and bacteria. For example, have you ever walked around barefoot on your hardwood floors only to find the bottom of your feet black and dirty? All of this dirt and bacteria is right there on your floor and your children may be playing in it as well.

To help combat this issue, have everyone who enters your home take off their shoes and leave them at the front door. You should also clean your floors on a regular basis to prevent bacteria from growing and residing in your home.

2. Door Knobs and Handles

It is important that you wipe down your door handles and knobs whenever you can. These small items are often forgotten, but they do contain a lot of germs. To fight back against these germs, simply take an anti-bacterial wipe and swipe them once a day, especially in the kitchen.

3. Kitchen Sponges

Kitchen sponges are one of the dirtiest items in your kitchen. Believe it or not, there are thousands of germs and bacteria right on the surface of your sponge and every time you use a dirty sponge, you are simply spreading the germs on your cups and plates.

To combat this, you should place your sponge in the microwave every couple of days to kill the bacteria. You can also place the sponge in the dishwasher and allow it to go through a cycle.
