As a mom or parent, you know that keeping your home clean is more than just a matter of appearance—it's about protecting your family from germs, especially in high-touch areas that often go unnoticed. Think about the spots we frequently handle every day: doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, and even refrigerator handles. These are prime locations for bacteria and viruses to linger. The good news? You don't need harsh chemicals to keep them clean! Here’s a practical guide to naturally sanitizing these high-touch areas with A Clean Home Company’s All-Purpose Cleaner Spray Bottle and Refill Pack.
1. Why High-Touch Areas Need Special Attention
High-touch areas are surfaces that multiple people interact with throughout the day. Germs from your hands easily transfer to these surfaces, making them hotspots for potential illness. Regular cleaning helps minimize the risk, but traditional products often contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful, especially if you have little ones at home.
Natural Cleaning Tip: Opt for non-toxic cleaning products like our All-Purpose Cleaner, made with plant-based ingredients. It offers effective sanitization without leaving harmful residues, making your home a safer place for kids and pets.
2. Quick Natural Cleaning Solution for Highly Touch Surfaces
Instead of harsh chemical sprays, reach for A Clean Home Company’s All-Purpose Cleaner. It’s an eco-friendly, ready-to-use solution perfect for high-touch surfaces throughout your home.
How to Use:
- Shake the spray bottle well.
- Spray directly onto surfaces like doorknobs and light switches.
- Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine.
For larger cleanups, use our All-Purpose Cleaner Refill Pack to easily top up your spray bottle, reducing plastic waste and making it a sustainable choice for your cleaning routine.
3. Doorknobs: The Overlooked Germ Hotspot
Doorknobs are one of the most frequently touched surfaces in any home, making them a magnet for germs. To keep them clean:
- Step 1: Spray a small amount of the All-Purpose Cleaner onto a cloth. Avoid spraying directly onto the doorknob to prevent moisture from getting inside the mechanism.
- Step 2: Wipe thoroughly, paying attention to any grooves or designs where grime can build up.
- Step 3: Buff dry with a clean part of the cloth to ensure no moisture remains.
4. Light Switches: Small But Mighty Germ Collectors
Light switches are another sneaky source of germs. They're often touched with dirty hands, especially in busy areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
- Step 1: Lightly spray your microfiber cloth with the All-Purpose Cleaner (avoid spraying directly onto the switch to prevent liquid from seeping in).
- Step 2: Wipe the switch plate and toggle or button thoroughly.
- Step 3: For sticky spots, use a slightly dampened cotton swab to get into crevices and corners.
5. Remote Controls: The Family Favorite with Hidden Germs
Think about how often your family handles the remote control—it’s a common high-touch item that rarely gets cleaned. Here’s how to sanitize it:
- Step 1: Remove the batteries to prevent any damage.
- Step 2: Lightly spray a microfiber cloth with the All-Purpose Cleaner and gently wipe down the entire remote, paying special attention to the buttons.
- Step 3: Use a dry toothbrush or a cotton swab to get into the spaces between buttons.
- Step 4: Allow it to air dry before replacing the batteries.
6. Refrigerator Handles and Appliance Touchpoints
Your refrigerator handle is a high-traffic area that gets touched multiple times a day, often with hands that have just handled food. Here’s how to keep it clean:
- Step 1: Spray the All-Purpose Cleaner onto a microfiber cloth.
- Step 2: Wipe down the handle and any other frequently touched parts, like the water dispenser and control panel.
- Step 3: For sticky spots, use a paste made of baking soda and water for a gentle scrub, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
7. Tips for Making Natural Cleaning Part of Your Routine
Integrating the cleaning of high-touch areas into your routine doesn’t have to be a chore. Here are some quick tips:
- Keep Supplies Handy: Store your All-Purpose Cleaner Spray Bottle in key areas around the house, like the kitchen and bathroom, for easy access.
- Involve the Kids: Give your kids small tasks, like wiping light switches or remote controls. It’s a great way to teach them about the importance of keeping things clean!
- Set Reminders: Add a quick clean of high-touch areas to your weekly cleaning schedule or set a reminder on your phone to make it a habit.
