House cleaning should not be seen as a burden to us. On the contrary, it helps us to achieve balance and harmony in our homes. See how often we should clean the objects we use in our routine to get rid of bacteria and bad energy.
Is It Time For A Little House Cleaning?
According to Buddhist philosophy, cleaning the house is an essential task so that one’s energies are continually renewed. It is believed that the house is the temple of our body and, therefore, it must be cleaned frequently. In Japan, students happily clean their schools, something unimaginable in the West.
CLEANING THE HOUSE – START IN THE KITCHEN
A kitchen is a place where we often gather our families and friends. Therefore, we must always keep it clean and in harmony.
The Microwave
Did you know that the microwave must be cleaned every week? You can use a mixture of half a cup of water and half a cup of white vinegar and place to heat in a heat-resistant container. After steam covers the inside, remove the container and clean the microwave with a sponge.
Kitchen Counter
The kitchen counter must be cleaned every day. According to experts, countertops are one of the dirtiest places in the kitchen, as people tend to use sponges with food residues to clean them. Set aside a sponge to clean the countertops and change the dishtowels weekly.
Fridge
Scientists say vegetable drawers can increase the level of bacteria by 750 times, making it a place that should be cleaned frequently. The refrigerator should be superficially cleaned every week. However, a more thorough cleaning should be done monthly at least!
CLEANING THE HOUSE – IN THE BEDROOM
The bedroom is where we sleep and recharge our energy. Therefore, it is vital to keep this room clean.
Mattress
Mattress covers should be washed every two months. When removing the cover to wash, sprinkle the mattress with baking soda to absorb the odors, then vacuum.
Bed Linen
Bed linen is less dirty than we think. According to recent research, sheets are not the most likely places for mites to develop. But the frequency that should be changed depends a lot on your routine. For example, suppose you don’t shower before bed if you take naps in clothes you wear on the street if you sleep with pets. If you don’t do any of these things, you can change your bed linen every 15 days. On the other hand, if you practice any of them, change it weekly.
Pillows
Pillows must be washed every three months. If you are an allergic person, it is recommended that you change your pillow twice a year. The average pillow change should be every three years. Pillows can accumulate mites and be harmful to our health.

Bathtub
When we think about the bathroom, we think that the toilet is the dirtiest place in the environment. But the bathtub is also a champion in the proliferation of bacteria. Research claims that the bathtub can be compared to a garbage can for bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended that you wash the bathtub once a week. The frequency should be like cleaning the entire bathroom.
Bath towels
How often do you wash your towel? You will be amazed at what science suggests. According to researchers, we should wash our bath towels every three uses. This frequency prevents the smell of mold, as each bath, the towel removes millions of dead skin cells.
HOUSE CLEANING – IN THE LIVING ROOM
The living room is a place for living in our house.
We meet in the room on several occasions with our family and friends. Besides being a place to relax after a long day at work.
The room must be a cozy room, free from negative energy. Therefore, be careful with cleaning weekly and regularly, cleaning that is not day-to-day.
