5 Really Dirty Areas You Should Be Cleaning

[@nerisreyero9017]

I have a bottle of disinfectant wipes kept in my car that I use when I use gas pumps including the key pad and buttons. Did that pre-COVID.

[@ashleynoneofyobusiness1759]

Are you letting it sit and stay wet for 5-10 minutes after that? That’s how disinfectant wipes work.

[@Hopeandpeaceinjesus]

Don’t have a car but keep dettol wipes on top of my toilet- you use it, you flush it then wipe it down and little bin right next to you to bin the wipe.

[@fineur1]

I keep fold over sandwich bags in my glove compartment and use one as a glove at the gas pump. They are handy, convenient, and they keep your hands off pumps.

[@missx0]

Can you please make a video on how to clean a hand bag? Both inside and outside?!

[@Janelegant]

I would also like this!

[@mariacosti6365]

Me too

[@swatipai168]

I have cleaning OCD and I wouldn’t sit on my bed without changing clothes when I come from out. Our butts and pants can pick up a lot of germs like the handbags you were talking about. Same goes for outside shoes inside the house.

[@rozag1678]

Same here! Outside shoes are not to be worn inside the house.

[@MsCaligirl17]

I agree about pants and germs, I always kind of cringe when I see people sitting on kitchen counters.

[@mrssapphires4341]

I agree! My husband and sons think I'm OTT whenever I tell them not to do it!

[@Hopeandpeaceinjesus]

I’m a wheelchair user and don’t have a ramp but like 15-20 steps outside, I need to sit on the ground multiple times and transfer back into my chair to get to the street- bad enough before covid (especially with how gross people are spitting and puking etc) but now I haven’t gone outside in over a year (flu season then lockdown) and won’t be able to go outside till covid is sorted somehow.

Tip: regularly clean drains with baking soda and vinegar (pour baking soda then vinegar let sit overnight) Also vinegar and baking soda paste on your shower floors brings the white back! Just be sure to scrub the paste and let sit for awhile (2-4 hours). It might take a couple of cleanings to get your white shower base looking new but it’s sooo worth it! Ps I clean my toothbrushes regularly with hydrogen peroxide and never use a toothbrush holder. Thank you 😊

[@TheUlli1964]

Same here. I just rinse the drains with hot water and i clean the upper part the the drain with anold toothbrush.

[@marianb2530]

Where do you put your toothbrush IF you have traveled? I use hydrogen peroxide as well to clean my toothbrush. And I rinse my toothbrush with HOT water. Good tips you have!

[@ams3344]

marian B hi 👋🏻 I use a toothbrush holder (cheap one from Target) if I travel then ~ I clean my toothbrush with mouthwash 😁. I guess I could bring my hydrogen peroxide along to use as well. Honestly I’m not a big traveler! ✈️🐾. There are SO many uses for hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar and baking soda~ I Once wrote a paper for school about “The 100 Uses of Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda.”...Lol 😂

[@marianb2530]

@@ams3344 Yes! I love baking soda for my tub and teeth, sinks etc. B/c of my job, I could not ride public transp., just my car to visit my family. I did not think that you used a holder, but thank you. I thought you had a diff. idea, so I was going to check it out, lol! Thought I was missin' something...

[@lisajerscheid9171]

When you change out your old baking soda from your fridge/freezer don't toss it put it down your drain and chase it with vinegar. Run some really hot water before and after or boil a kettle of hot water and pour that down it. Also when you clean your drains also clean your spigot. I keep an old toothbrush in the dishwasher at all times. It's great for cleaning spigots out because you don't have to unscrew anyting. Just run some hot water for a couple minutes then take the toothbrush and push the bristles up into the spigot where the water comes out. Each time you pull the bristles out turn on the water to flush out the stuff that you've loosened up. Repeat this until the water runs clear. You'll be surprised at what comes out.

[@amsbmp]

Before Covid-19, didn't think much about "Shopping".. Just went to the store got what I needed than went home. Put it way. Never thought about where an item had traveled. Where it had been or Whose touched it. Now, I wear gloves, and I pick up what I need. Get home, As I don't have a garage (Apt Living) I have a designated area for my purchases in my apt. I carefully separate my bags by the area I will be putting the stuff way. I take the items out of the bag, wipe them down with wipes and put away. I even remove certain items from their package and put away. I have a garbage bag next to me to dispose of wipes, containers and grocery bags and take them out to the garbage. Than I clean and disinfect the area I used. And than I wash my hands with soap for 20 seconds. Hand Cream has become my new friend. As for "Gas Pumps" I wear gloves and have my wipes. I wipe the pump handle, outter door knob, open door remove gloves, wipe inner door knob, close car door, wipe steering wheel another wipe for my hands. Dispose of wipes n gloves in my small trash can in my car. (It is emptied when I get home) As I am immunocompromised I am very mindful now. I did not think of myself as immunocompromised until Covid-19. I am a 7 yr breast cancer survivor and a type 1 diabetic. As well as a seasonal and plant asthmatic. Now I think twice because we All need to be more careful. Stay Safe and Stay Healthy...

[@mjones1122]

I repurposed my laundry detergent bottle with the squirt pump into a hand wash station. I keep this full of water in my car and carry a bottle of liquid soap. Then I can just quickly rinse, soap, and rinse my hands. Soap works better than hand sanitizer anyway. We also take this camping with us. It works great and recycling a plastic container is also great.

[@nicoleworks4593]

Love this idea. So clever.

[@treeroofgrass]

Wow! Great idea!!!

I just use hand sanitizer lots now but one thing that I wasn’t super worried about before Covid was my cell phone. Now I clean it every single time I come home from going anywhere with it. I also sanitize all the items that I bring into my home now, which I wasn’t doing before.

Well now the first thing that I do after reaching home is to wash my hands thoroughly and only then move onto other chores.

[@duckpondwithoutducks]

Ever since I was a kid I was a bit of a germaphobe. When I got home from school the first thing I did was wash my hands, because I didn’t want to spread the dirt on my hands from school around my house. I’ve done it ever since. And I was always careful to wipe down anything in the house that was frequently touched. So, not too much has changed since the pandemic! 😅

[@ceison1341]

We need some bacteria for our immune system to work and not to mention all the sanitizing wipes in the stores = carcinogenic chemicals. I'm a breast cancer survivor and honestly getting more worried about the toxic chemical overload than covid itself.

A kitchen sink, most people clean their toilet with bleach products however most don’t do a full clean of a sink with a Sanitiser or bleach products.

All door handles 🤦🏻‍♀️ and pedestrian crossing buttons. I've been using elbows to press handicap door buttons, and/or carry tissue to open doors.... Pre covid, I was leery about door handles... But now, I refuse to touch them. Ever.

Gas pumps...now I'm suddenly glad I'm in New Jersey (we don't pump our own gas here!)

[@ritahealy6757]

What is the thing called that you used to scrub the sides of the drain?

[@benitoaguilar3648]

I was always mindful of gas pumps, even pre covid I wore gloves and used wipes on the pumps and machine. Pre covid people use to look at me a bit weird at the pump now I see more people than not doing the same thing 😂

What products can you use for drains

[@2cornichons]

You should never leave you toothbrush out in a bathroom. Even if you close the toilet lid aresolized 💩 and urine travel all over the bathroom to include your tooth brush. Towels too!

Can you show us different and or effective ways to clean our pet beds?

[@valeriepasbrig742]

The thing that gets my attention now is shopping carts. There are disinfectant wipes at the entrance of the store so a-wiping I do go. Never even thought about gas pumps but, yeah, that's up there with carts. Yuck

Omg the cheeseburger on the toilet seat 😂😂😂😂

[@thislittletribeofmine10]

Light switch, toilet, steering wheel, door handle for vehicles and the window switch, diaper garb cans and really any garb can, fridge handles, stove handles and filters for your vents in your home. Those are my guesses what you may mention. As a mom virtual schooling ill add, computer and chromebook keyboards, earplugs and remote controls for tv! Thanks kids 😘

Handing my card to people! I use apple pay as much as possible and when I have to hand the card I use handsanitizer to wipe it off

[@rancharmyers3233]

I am gonna have to learn how to use that 😊

[@MissVasques]

I no longer use tooth brush holder, another youtuber gave the tip of laying it down on a small washable towel. So I do and switch it out at least weekly. So much less cleaning to do.

[@2terriblegirl]

I wash everything I bring from the store nowadays and don't shove it into ti fridge right away

[@treeroofgrass]

Me too!
