Towels are mixed, do not wash and do not change
Kitchen rags are best used for special cloths. Do not use the same rag to clean everything, which is easy to cause cross-infection of bacteria.
Also remember to change it regularly, preferably once a month.
I myself usually throw it in the dishwasher, clean it with detergent at high temperature, and it will obviously be much cleaner. You can also wet it and place it in the microwave for two to four minutes, or put it in boiling water for five minutes.
5
Kitchen waste is not cleaned up in time
If you don’t deal with food waste today, tomorrow your house may be full of cockroaches… A word: Don’t let the garbage be exposed to accompany you overnight, let them go where they should go ——In a dead garbage bag.
