Introduction:

We often clean visible messes, but germs love hiding on surfaces we touch the most. Keeping these areas disinfected is essential for a healthier home, especially during flu season.

Main Content:

Here are the 10 high-touch spots you should sanitize daily:

  1. Doorknobs & Handles – from the front door to the fridge.

  2. Light Switches – often overlooked but touched multiple times a day.

  3. Remote Controls – a hotspot for germs, especially with kids around.

  4. Phones & Tablets – your constant companion can carry more bacteria than a toilet seat.

  5. Kitchen Counters & Faucets – food prep areas need extra care.

  6. Bathroom Faucets & Toilet Handles – high traffic, high germ areas.

  7. Handrails & Stair Banisters – if you have stairs, don’t skip these.

  8. Cabinet & Appliance Handles – touched during cooking and snacking.

  9. Laptop Keyboards & Mice – work-from-home essentials full of bacteria.

  10. Kids’ Toys – especially if shared with friends.

Pro Tip: Use a safe disinfectant spray or wipes (eco-friendly if possible) and make it part of your evening routine.

Conclusion:

Disinfecting these small but mighty areas daily helps reduce the spread of germs and keeps your home a safe haven. FreshNest’s cleaning experts always give special attention to these high-touch surfaces during our visits.
