Top 20 Best Home Cleaning & Disinfecting Tips in 2025
Your Home Is Hosting Unwanted Guests
Unwanted houseguests, A.K.A. germs, and their bacterial buddies are like rodents. The dirtier your home is, the more likely they are to show up and start causing problems. If you try to use poison to get rid of them, you may end up poisoning yourself and your family along with them. Germs outside of your body are foes, not friends, remember that.
The Problem With Traditional Cleaners
Traditional cleaning solutions are like using a big bomb to take out one target, and it ends up taking out a couple of blocks worth of bystanders. The toxic "solutions" cause a lot of collateral damage in your home and do a worse job of getting rid of the ongoing problem.
Using safer alternatives like Benolar, a Hypochlorous Acid solution, is an environmentally safe option compared to all the poisonous traditional disinfectants that "work." Using Benolar to get rid of your unwanted guests is like creating a nice funeral where all the germs' loved ones say something nice about them. It's the proper and gentle way to eliminate them from existence.

Where The Party Animals Hang Out
The dangerous intruders love to go where food is involved, both before being eaten and after, so bathrooms and kitchens are the dance floor for bacteria, and bacteria love to boogie. Kitchen counters, sinks, toilets, and bathroom floors are all major gathering places for these guests who were never invited. These guests are always thirsty too; they love water, and that's why kitchens and bathrooms are their favorite places to loiter.
Beyond the obvious spots, these guys love being on remotes of any kind. TV remotes and gaming controllers are always being touched with hands that have been digging into snacks. Your well-seasoned remote is now a hotspot for bacteria looking for sustenance. Bedding is also a hot spot for germs because we spend so much time in bed, sweating and shedding dead skin.
Simple Cleaning That Actually Works
Using Benolar, you can clean any surface without having the risk of absorbing anything harmful to your body, it only attacks the harmful germs and bacteria. Just spray a paper towel or rag with Benolar and wipe down any surface that needs cleaning, that's it! Benolar removes any odors and keeps everything in your home safer. No more unwanted guests.
The biggest mistake that people make when trying to disinfect their homes is doing it with the wrong types of disinfectants. Many disinfectants out there have specific purposes or are designed to be used on certain materials like wood or glass. Benolar can be used on any surface and is great for disinfecting anything.
What To Clean And When
Kitchen counters, toilets, and floors need to be disinfected the most frequently. A lot of people walk around barefoot, and their feet are sensitive to germs and infections.
Cleaning and disinfecting your home weekly on a set schedule is the best way to ensure a healthy home while not having to spend all your time on cleaning. Different seasons don't change how our least favorite guests behave so how we treat them won't change either.
When you have a sick family member, it's important to follow the same best practices to prevent anyone else from getting sick. Disinfecting anything that your bedridden loved one has drunk, eaten from, or touched will help keep the rest of the family happy and not sick.

Finding The Sweet Spot
Being too clean is a real concern. Having some level of germs in your life is a good thing. A little bit of bacteria is good because your body can learn how to fight against it. Too many germs and bacteria can overwhelm your immune system. Too much of something is usually never a good thing, and in the case of bacteria, it's especially true.
Disinfecting the hotspots of your home is the best way to make sure you don't get too much bacteria while leaving alone the places that bacteria still live but don't look like a Beijing apartment building.
DIY cleaning solutions, while being cheaper, are typically either not effective or toxic to humans and animals. Using proven, commercial solutions like Benolar saves you time and can guarantee that the home wrecking germs stay away from your favorite child.
So remember, germs are like unwanted houseguests that never bring wine or dessert. They just show up, make a mess, and sometimes make you sick. Show them the door with the right disinfectant, focus on the real hotspots, and keep a regular cleaning schedule. Your home will thank you, and so will your immune system.
