Keeping your cleaning supplies clean is important in keeping your actual home even cleaner. This means refraining from using dirty equipment or scrubbing stains and grime after use.
Here is a quick guide to help make sure that your cleaning supplies, from kitchen sponges, mops, rugs, to vacuums and brooms, are free from dirt or dust, stored and labelled properly, and ready for your next cleaning project.
Deep-cleaning your broom is easy. Simply submerge the bristles in warm water with some soap or detergent for at least an hour. Afterwards, wipe down the handle with disinfectant and let it dry.
*How to Clean Your Kitchen Sponge

Out of all of your cleaning supplies, your dish sponge is the most prone to bacterial growth. A damp environment, created by a constantly wet sponge and an unclean kitchen sink or countertop, is perfect for bacteria to thrive in.
Cleaning your dishwasher may not be the most fun chore, but it is an essential component of any deep cleaning.
To ensure that your dishwasher is completely clean, you’ll first need to take everything out of it — from racks to utensils holders to filters. Fill the diswasher with warm water and white vinegar before soaking those remaining parts while you tackle the rest of your load.
You may think it’s a time-consuming chore to clean your vacuum regularly, but you should know that by doing so you are also preserving the power and life of your vacuum cleaner. Regular vacuum maintenance is essential not only in order to keep the home clean (though this is most important), but also for removing dust and debris which obstruct airflow and result into unpleasant odor.
It can be difficult to find the time for maintenance of cleaning supplies when you’re already busy with cleaning your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and the rest of your house. If you ever find yourself in need of some extra help, you might want to consider hiring professional deep-cleaning services.
