Today is the day to wipe down the fixtures and baseboards in your main bathroom. You can also take a damp cloth and wipe down light switches and door knobs. As we approach flu season, you will want to wipe down surfaces that are frequently touched. I use the FlyLady’s purple cloths for wiping down surfaces. I use plain water, and it cleans quickly. If we happen to have a sick person in the household, I will use bleach wipes to wipe down surfaces to kill germs. Another way to help your family stay healthy is to make sure they are drinking adequate water each day. Being properly hydrated will help flush your body of germs.
