Let's talk about the "little things" at home, it's time to say goodbye to them. Yes, I know, you may be like me, a little "reluctant" in your heart. But believe me, there are some things, and if you keep them, you are actually living comfortably with yourself.
Let's start with the yellowed towels. Do you remember their original colors? Has it changed from "snow white" to "earth yellow"? Used to wipe your face, do you feel like you're doing a "scrub"? These towels, brothers and sisters, are not washing your face, they are "making trouble" for you! With long-term use, they become a "luxury apartment" for bacteria. Therefore, change it once every three or four months, for friends with sensitive skin, this is a hard rule, don't be soft-hearted.
Then there's the kitchen veteran, the wooden cutting board. After a long time, it starts to crack and fall off the slag. You may be thinking, "Well, isn't that how it naturally ages?" "But I have to tell you, there are not only traces of age hidden in these cracks, but also the disgusting black mold. Think about it, your food is already "mixed" with mold before it is even served, which is not the "seasoning" we want.
The trash can in the bathroom, everyone should have this. It seems convenient, but it is actually a "bacterial breeding ground". Especially the garbage cans without lids are simply saying to germs, "Welcome, this is your paradise." "Therefore, it is recommended that you either choose one with a lid, or simply throw it directly into the toilet and flush it away with the water.
The toothbrush, which is seen at least twice a day, will deform and fall off over time, and even grow mold in the humid environment of the bathroom. Imagine that these things are "driving" in your mouth every morning and evening, this picture is too beautiful for me to see. Therefore, changing your toothbrush regularly is not only good for yourself, but also responsible for your family.
Steel wool balls, the "good helper" of this kitchen, will become a "troublemaker" after a long time. Greasy and greasy, it can't be washed clean, and it may rust. Washing dishes with such a steel wool ball makes me feel like I'm not washing dishes, but doing an "oil transfer" experiment. Remember, once the steel wool starts to shed "hair", or becomes particularly dirty, it's time to say goodbye.
And finally, those yellowed pillows. A good partner who accompanies you to sleep at night, after a long time, it will leave sweat stains and saliva marks on it. If you don't clean it properly, mites and bacteria will come. Think about it, it's not a nice experience to have your face on it every night. Changing your pillow regularly is important for good sleep and personal hygiene.
Now that we're on point, how do you decide when it's time to throw these things away? The simple principle is: to see if they can still function properly, whether they are still clean and hygienic. If the answer is no, then, without hesitation, it is time to "decommission" them.
And when dealing with these old things, don't forget to be environmentally friendly. For example, old towels can be shredded as rags; Wooden cutting boards, you can see if you can make other small crafts. In short, recycle as much as possible and reduce waste.
Finally, my friends, no matter how "poor" the family is, remember to throw away these 6 things in time. This is not only for the hygiene of the home, but also for the health of us and our families. And, to put it another way, it's also an upgrade to life, isn't it? Let's start today and make a change towards a healthier, more comfortable life.
