The ten most neglected and dirty spots in your home include the garbage disposal gasket, faucet aerators, behind the stove, wall vent covers, dishwashers, toothbrush holders, coffee makers, kitchen cabinet tops, floor registers, and the wall behind the toilet. Each area requires specific strategies to maintain hygiene. For instance, clean the garbage disposal with dish soap and a brush, soak faucet aerators in vinegar, and wipe down toilet walls with enzyme cleaners. In addition, toothbrush holders can harbor alarming levels of germs; regularly washing them in the dishwasher or with soapy water can mitigate this issue.
