Essential Tips for Cleaning Your Cleaning Supplies | The Mop & Broom

Your cleaning supplies don’t clean themselves and need regular maintenance to stay effective and promotes a healthier home environment.

Here are a few simple steps can help keep them clean:

Kitchen Sponge

To sanitize your kitchen sponge, soak it in a mixture of ½ teaspoon of bleach per quart of warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Replace it often, especially if used heavily.

Dishwasher

Clean your dishwasher by placing a cup of vinegar on the top rack and running a hot cycle, or sprinkle baking soda in the bottom and run a short cycle. Use specialized cleaners for deeper cleaning.

Washing Machine

Run a cup of vinegar through a hot cycle to clean your washing machine. Keep the door and detergent compartments open after each use to prevent mold growth.

Toilet Brush and Holder

Rinse the toilet brush under flush water or let it dry before placing it back in the holder. Clean the holder with white vinegar to reduce bacteria and odors.
