The wall behind the trash can

Inside your ice maker

There might be times that you went on a cleaning spree on your refrigerator and have even cleaned off the freezer. But, did you ever head to cleaning the ice maker that is inside?

You get off easy if you just use manual ice trays, which can simply be thrown in the dishwasher between uses. But if you have a fancy freezer with an automatic ice maker, you’re probably overdue for a refresher.

How can you tell if your system needs a good cleaning?

If even its fresh ice looks cloudy, smells weird or stale, or starts to taste a bit funky, it’s likely time to get in there and sanitize. The Housekeeping Channel recommends doing so at least twice per year.

Inside your coffee machine

Coffee is what keeps a lot of us going, but it isn’t without fault when it comes to germs.

Is your formerly stellar drip coffeemaker starting to turn out coffee that has a little funk in its flavor?

You probably wash the pot every day, but do you ever clean the inside mechanics of your coffeemaker?

I don’t want to startle you too badly, but a study of the “germiest” places in a home revealed that a “coffee maker reservoir” is the fifth most germ-laden place in a home.

What can you do to disinfect yours?

An expert for Good Housekeeping recommends taking off all the removable parts and hand washing or running them through the dishwasher. Then you can clean the reservoir with a mixture of water and white vinegar.

Inside trash cans

Leaked trash juice?

Um, nope! Even if you always keep your trash cans covered with a bin liner or tall kitchen bags, germs and gunk will find a way.

Nobody is suggesting you need to clean your trash cans every time you empty the bag, but periodically, it’s necessary.

If you live in a house with an outside hose and a driveway, just take them outside, covering them inside and out with a cleaning solution (like Simple Green or bleach and water) and spray away.

If you live in an apartment and can’t really take the mess outside, take it into your shower or bathtub and apply the same spraying ritual (on a slightly smaller scale).

Hairbrushes and combs

Experts at Real Simple say that a brush properly cared for can last between one to three years. So what does “proper care” mean in this case?

Bathroom decor

You know not to leave your toothbrush out in the open air of your bathroom counter.

Why?

Because super gross invisible particles from the flush of your toilet can spray all over surfaces in the bathroom, leaving anything out in the open totally vulnerable to a disgusting layer of germs.

Charles Gerba, Ph.D., Professor, Microbiology & Environmental Sciences, University of Arizona College of Public Health says (via Huffington Post) that bacteria and viruses “remain airborne long enough to settle on surfaces throughout the bathroom.”

Think about that little display of shells, fancy guest soaps, bath balms, or even that stack of what you thought were nice clean washcloths and towels just waiting for your guests to use them. So wipe down anything you can with disinfectant, and consider storing clean linens inside a cabinet if you don’t want to wash them on the daily.
