Originally Answered: How often do you wash your carpet? Find out when to wash 8 everyday utensils and prepare for a scare!
As much as you are a clean person and worry about keeping the dirt in your home under control, believe me, your home is much dirtier than you can imagine. But the worst of all is that it is dirt that no one sees, but that is there, present in various seemingly innocent utensils in your everyday life. And that’s why everyone needs to know when to wash some things.
For example, did you know that your bath towel needs to be changed more often than everyone else actually does? How often do you wash your jeans? And what about the carpets? Maybe one day you remembered to put them in the wash?
All of these, as you will see in the list, are favorite places for bacteria when it comes to establishing residence and, of course, starting to multiply. And look, they don’t even forgive that cute bra, full of lace, that you love, but feel sorry for putting it in the wash, you know?
But, as you will see, these things are far from everything that can be very dirty and that you need to know when to wash. The list we prepared is large enough so that you can create a schedule for your laundry and not miss the deadline to get your favorite objects clean. Want to see?
Find out when to wash 8 everyday utensils:
8. Wallpaper
When to wash? At least every 3 months. But remember: you need to remove excess dust every week to prevent dirt from getting on it and affecting some people’s allergies.
7. Duvet
The ideal is to wash every 6 months.
6. Pillows and cushions
Do I have to wash it? Of course, people! Once every 6 months, just like duvets.
5. Dish towels
Wash every week without mercy! You have no idea how dirty dish towels can be, even if they don’t appear to be stained.
4. Bath towels
When to wash? Much more often than you wash it, for sure: after 3 or 4 uses! They can be a “den” for bacteria as they remain moist for a long time.
3. Face towels
They get damp, but much less than bath ones, so changing them once a week is enough. But remember, they are full of skin cells, sweat and dust mites. If they are used a lot, send them to the washing machine!
2. Bras
Now, without lying, tell us: how often do you change your bra? If you wear the same bra more than 3 times, believe me, you are lost! Sweat and bacteria make them a cozy little house.
1. Makeup brushes
Yes, they are always full of bacteria, as well as makeup residue, you know? Given this, when to wash? At least once per month. But you’ve already seen this here, in this other very useful article about cleaning.
