Bacteria Buildup Items We Forget To Clean

Here is a list of items in your house, vehicle and office that need to be cleaned on a regular basis, such as weekly to avoid bacteria buildup that can cause illnesses.  

These items tend to be overlooked during normal cleaning.

Electronics need to be cleaned carefully and may require special cleaners/wipes

Cleaning these items is simple and can be done with a disinfecting wipe.  If the wipe is saturated, you can squeeze the excess liquid out. The wipe is still wet but not dripping.

 

Electronics:

-Some say not to use disinfecting wipes on electronics such as cell phones and other hand held devices computer keyboards because the liquid can get inside the devices and possibly ruin them.

-You can purchase special cleaning products for the above mentioned items.

-I have used disinfectant wipes for years and have never had any issues. I always squeeze out the excess liquid before cleaning my electronic devices. You can decide for yourself. The special cleaning products also have liquid on them but not as much as the disinfecting wipes.

You can purchase an ultra violet light sterilizer to clean your hand-held devices.
