8 things that only real clean people do every day
Content:
A list of what real clean people do every day may seem redundant. But don’t rush to conclusions - most activities are not only justified from a hygiene point of view, but also do not require much time.
Cleaning the refrigerator
It is enough to wash the refrigerator once every two to three months, and check it for spoiled food once a week. A significant part of women and men think this way, thereby making a mistake. Despite the low temperature (on average +6°C), bacteria and various fungi easily multiply in the refrigerator compartment. In this case, the presence of “visible dirt” does not matter. Even if there are no traces of spilled compote on the shelves and there are no remains of stewed cabbage, there are still pathogenic microflora that infect fresh food.
Microorganisms enter the refrigerator in different ways:
- along with packaging (products pass through dozens of hands, are transported in unsterile boxes and stored in warehouses of questionable cleanliness, where goods are often placed on the floor);
- from not very fresh food (as soon as something becomes moldy or rotten, fungal spores and bacilli instantly spread around);
- from your fingers (if you worked with raw meat or eggs and then did not wash your hands).
Only true cleaners are not too lazy to wipe the shelves and walls of the refrigerator every day, as well as check the contents of all pots, bags and containers, although this takes no more than 10 minutes. These people do not risk being poisoned by home-cooked food or discovering that the soup they prepared yesterday has suddenly turned sour.
Floor cleaning
When you enter your house in street shoes, you bring not only sand and dirt on your soles, but also many pathogenic bacteria and helminth eggs. Even if you leave your shoes in the hallway, all this spreads throughout the rooms over time. In this way, children and pets can “catch” an infection, the treatment of which will require a lot of money. It’s much easier to wash the floor every day - clean people understand this and don’t regret the minutes spent.
Replacing towels
Kitchen towels absorb the smell of food, and stains from grease and juices remain on them. The next day they look stale, so it makes sense to take a clean towel in the morning and throw it in the dirty clothes basket in the evening.
The same goes for towels in the bathroom. As a rule, they are “fluffy,” which means that a lot of bacteria accumulate inside, which feel at ease in a humid and cool microclimate. They feed on skin particles that peel off from the body and get stuck in the pile. Therefore, real clean people do not use a bath towel several times, but take a fresh one every day.
Cleaning the kitchen countertop
The countertop may seem like the cleanest surface in the house, but it is not.Remember how, after returning from the store or while preparing dinner, you place food packages on it, put unwashed eggs, fruits or herbs on it, how you cut up meat and fish on it (all of these are potential sources of infection). The desire to protect yourself and your family from “surprises” in the form of intestinal infections and parasites forces those who are called clean people to wash the countertop after each use.
Bathroom cleaning
Real cleaners are not too lazy to disinfect the bathtub and toilet every day - a huge amount of bacteria accumulates in these places. In addition, you have to:
- wipe door handles, taps and toilet paper holders;
- treat the curtain in the shower (therefore, it is advisable that it be made of film rather than fabric);
- Make sure that the tiles on the floor and walls are dry, otherwise mold may form on the seams.
Remaking the beds
Overnight, up to 500 ml of liquid evaporates from the human body, which is absorbed into the sheet, duvet cover and pillowcase, making them damp. The situation is aggravated if the room is hot: bacteria multiply at tremendous speed on the surface of the skin and in the fibers of the fabric. Remaking your bed every day is not a fad, but a necessity if you don't want to face rashes or skin infections. Clean people always follow this rule.
Dust control
Dust is particles of small debris, dead skin cells, paper and fabric fibers. It not only forms in the house, but is also brought in from the street, so it is impossible to get rid of it once and for all.
Real cleaners do not wait for the moment when a layer of dust becomes noticeable - they wipe horizontal surfaces every day with polish with an antistatic agent.
Flushing the drain in the sink
Fat and food debris are trapped in the siphon under the sink, becoming a “treat” for bacteria. Everything would be fine, but these microorganisms produce a foul-smelling gas - the stench penetrates the kitchen and bothers the household. To avoid such a nuisance, clean people pour a little antibacterial detergent into the drain hole, and after 5 minutes rinse the siphon with hot water.
You can assume that these people are simply obsessed with cleanliness, or you can follow their example and maintain perfect order in the house. All you need is desire and a little time.

Watching TV
More like symptoms of a mental illness. A normal person understands that living in a sterile room is much more dangerous, because it weakens one’s reputation
Immunity.literacy!
Judging by this article, a woman should wash something around the clock and run around with rags. No, excuse me. It’s unlikely that in the houses of the rich, everything is washed, cleaned and washed around the clock; this is a clinic.
Such a manic desire for cleanliness speaks of a bad conscience.
Oh. When to work? What about working with children? What about cooking? What about the store? And much more……
There’s no time to sleep here)))
I do all this once every 5 days and my house is perfectly clean, but what you wrote is the nonsense of a sick person
Idiocy!
Right!!!!!!
especially remake the bed every day)))))
Save the environment, water and energy! Daily discharges of a washing machine and other household sewage with chemicals will make the habitat unsuitable for subsequent generations. A sense of proportion is an indicator of adequacy. Engage in spiritual development.

Always leave some dust and debris at home. Otherwise, your home will turn into pure hell.
Cleans the countertop once a day? Yes, this is not clean, but dirty. Even when I come home from work after 6 pm, I can wash it several times while preparing dinner and lunch for the next day, especially if it’s raw vegetables, meat and fish. And even though I have a separate cutting board for each food group, something still ends up on the table.
Yes, and there are objections to other examples, where there is little, and where there is too much.
I agree. Although I use a silicone mat covering the entire tabletop and boards, the tabletop is wiped down at least before and after cooking. And the rest is a lot of nonsense.
It’s enough to hold a general cleaning once a week, in the morning, and constantly just think about it and run around with a rag, running home from work, throwing your bags and running to wash the floors and toilet, is this normal? I wonder if my husband will like it? I’d rather go and cook something tasty, get myself in order, rest a little, talk to my child or take a longer walk in the summer! Perhaps I'm dirty...?
General cleaning once a week and otherwise maintaining cleanliness is enough for me personally; it gives the best results; I personally say that it’s like being in a pharmacy; I’m pleased with it
I do general cleaning once a week, no one has gotten sick yet, everyone is alive and well.
Such attention to cleanliness will make family members unhappy.
I completely agree! I have such a husband. He would rather appreciate the once again wiped down toilet than the fact that I walked with the children more and we are glad to see him from work! It's a shame (((
Obsessive-compulsive syndrome is described, but not the quality of cleanliness. The daily changing of the beds was especially touching. Are these rearrangements washed once a year, not twice a day?
This is a mental illness, washing something every day is not normal
This is paranoia!!!
How is it necessary to litter every day?????????????
Once a week, on Saturdays, there is cleaning, and there is no dirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slave to dust!!!
I can imagine how a working woman got home through traffic jams and... until the very night she washes, scrubs, and cleans) because, dear author, everything you listed takes not 30 minutes, but at least an hour and a half
Only a lonely woman can have such purity, since she has nothing else to do.
With the replacement of bed linen, towels and daily cleaning of the refrigerator, this is already too much, but everything else is just about me? and in fact, the house is chronically clean and despite the fact that there are 2 children, a husband, 4 cats and a dog in the house + I also manage to work?
Lie. Midnight. Should I go wash the hallway floor, or what?? There is no general cleaning, seasonal cleaning, when both curtains and walls... and so on, everything along the way. To wash my face, I used a brush to go over the glass, the sink, the soap dish, the tiles, and the faucet. I wiped it dry. I hung up a fresh towel. Toilet... so we have a hygienic shower. And in general, what to pump up? No, I won’t twist the duvet cover onto the blanket every day, are you crazy... You need to live easy! Dishes? This means the sink, faucet, stove... washing for 16 minutes every day. I have no laundry, no dirt. But the floor... hmm... light porcelain tiles... I sigh. Get up to wash?
Every day, a little bit and along the way, maintain order, as they say - “hot on the heels, leaving no traces at the crime scene” - but why not, it will go into the system, it won’t take much time, purely mechanically, just a habit, it’s a matter of seconds, every thing is in its place, this is a type of scientific organization of labor. Everyone still has their own idea of cleanliness.Some types are general for appearances, hiding only shortcomings, and in the corners there is century-old dirt, dust, cobwebs, piles of various unnecessary rubbish, and the smell, accordingly, is like a garbage dump. And others even do major repairs every day.
And when there are any environmental problems nearby: gas, dust and soot from the highway, pets, etc. and so on…
In our home there live a bunch of all sorts of microorganisms that feed on the waste of our life and each other. With such thorough cleaning, we deprive them of their usual diet and they switch to us. Do you need this?
I'm glad that I do all these points every day! Cleanliness is the key to health and success. It's my opinion.
Bed sheets every day are nonsense, and towels too, where can I get so many of them? We each have our own towels! to clean the floors from dirty shoes? Have you tried not to trample on the floor in dirty shoes, I have everyone take off their shoes on the porch and there is no dirt)))
I noticed during self-isolation that dust and dirt form within a day even if you don’t use anything. You need to wash one thing a day: plumbing fixtures one day, wipe the floors another, load the machine, etc. There’s no getting away from the dirt and walking around with a rag all the time is not a solution—you don’t see the result.
Yeah... There are no words, just emotions.) To each his own, but you shouldn’t “go too far” either. What is the meaning of life then? In the fight against bacteria? Which already live in us.)
