When you buy a home, you should never have to compromise – especially when it comes to your family’s health. New homes can be healthier than used homes because they may come with the latest in design, materials and technology to promote good health for your entire family.
This article from BrightNest highlights ways to keep your home healthy, by focusing on one “healthy home” task every day of the week.
Sunday: Pillows & Sheets. Wash your pillows and sheets in hot water – this will kill germs and reduce dust.
Monday: Fridge & Leftovers. Fridge check! Do a quick audit for any expired meats, dairies or other perishable items. Leftovers that are more than four days old need to go, too.
Tuesday: Sponges. Toss your sponges in the dishwasher and run on the hottest cycle! This will disinfect them.
Wednesday: Toothbrush. Give your toothbrush a quick dip in boiling water.
Thursday: Switches & Handles. Use a disinfectant spray to clean your light switches and fridge handle.
Friday: Pay It Forward. Happy weekend! Do a random favor for a housemate or neighbor – it’ll help them out, and make you feel better, too. Great way to start the weekend!
Saturday: Your Mood. Spending the day at home? Open all of your shades or blinds so plenty of light gets in throughout the day – it’ll improve your mood!
