In our busy lives we often overlook the importance of regularly cleaning the surfaces we touch. One of the highest contact areas of every day life are door handles, doorknobs, and kitchen cabinet handles. Here's a quick guide on how to best keep those high-touch areas pristine and germ-free:
1. Supplies Required:
- Soft cloth – microfiber cloth
- Lukewarm water
- Mild soap (preferably without harsh chemicals, hand soap works great)
2. Easy Cleaning Steps:
- Dampen your soft cloth with lukewarm, soapy water.
- Gently wipe down the entire surface of the door handles, paying extra attention to any crevices or grooves where dirt may hide.
- Make sure your handles are dry and there is no soap residue on the handles.
3. Frequency Matters:
- Ideally, clean your kitchen and door handles every few months.
- If your handles are located on the exterior of your home you can increase the frequency to every few weeks.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your door handles remain sparkling clean and free from germs, promoting a healthier home for you and your loved ones.
