Top 5 Hidden Germ Zones in Colorado Homes (And How to Clean Them)

Top 5 Hidden Germ Zones in Colorado Homes

Colorado's fresh mountain air may be clean, but your home? Maybe not so much. Dust, pet dander, pollen, and dry air all contribute to invisible germ buildup in places most homeowners ignore.

🧽 1. Kitchen Sink & Faucet Handles

These harbor more bacteria than your toilet.

Fix: Spray with hydrogen peroxide daily and use a toothbrush to scrub crevices weekly.

🪥 2. Toothbrush Holders

Frequently moistened and rarely cleaned.

Fix: Dishwasher-safe holders? Run them weekly. Otherwise, soak in hot soapy water.

🎮 3. TV Remotes & Light Switches

High touch, low priority = breeding ground.

Fix: Use alcohol-based disinfectant wipes every few days.

🧊 4. Refrigerator Drawer Seals

Traps food juice, spills, and mold.

Fix: Remove seals (if detachable) monthly and clean with baking soda + water.

🛍️ 5. Reusable Grocery Bags

Most people use them daily but wash them... never.

Fix: Machine-wash cloth bags weekly. Wipe plastic/vinyl bags with sanitizer.

💡 Pro Tip for Colorado Homes: With low humidity, dust tends to linger longer on surfaces. Use microfiber cloths to reduce airborne spread when cleaning any of these areas.
