Using Bleach to Disinfect

Germ Free With Care

Your bathroom is one of the rooms in your home with the most germs, so at least once a year you want to make sure that you give it the once over. You know, even if you can't see them; all the little nooks and crannys that are hard to reach and out of the way and seldom get the treatment. Now is the time to freshen it all. Deep cleaning the sink seals, grouting, tile, pipe seals, etc., in the bath on at least an annual basis is a good idea. Now is the season to disinfect it while you spring clean and maybe even update your decor a bit too.

The dishes are piling up, the house needs vacuumed, and the cat needs fed. Always at least a hundred things to do. And then there is the laundry. It has piled up unmercifully. It would be nice to find some effective, inexpensive and less time consuming ways to maintain a low cost laundry.
