<\/p>\nHANDS up if you\u2019re always trying out new ways to keep your home clean and organised.<\/p>\n
Now, a cleaning pro has shared her top tips, including how microfiber cloths from B&M and Home Bargains should be in everyone\u2019s cupboards \u2013 but that your other kitchen essentials should be put in the bin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The professional cleaning company \u2013 aptly named The Clean Up Company \u2013 has unveiled their list \u2013 plus the reasons tea towels and sponges are so unhygienic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of their owners explained that they\u2019re continuously asked what cleaning cloths they would recommend for around the house.<\/p>\n
After sharing that microfiber ones should be an essential, she explained it\u2019s a particular packet you should be keeping an eye out for \u2013 of the multi-coloured variety.<\/p>\n
She explained: \u201cThe main factor is that they\u2019re colour coded, and it is for cross-contamination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cColour code them per room and it just works brilliantly.\u201d<\/p>\n
But she wasn\u2019t stopping at just one handy hack. The cleaner went on to say: \u201cObviously, you\u2019d wash them after every single use on a boil wash.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour best shops to buy them from are your standard B&M and Home Bargains.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you can get them and they come in separate colours, so we advise colour coding them on bathrooms, kitchens and so on.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNobody wants to be using the same cloth they\u2019ve used on the toilet on the kitchen worktop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n But The Clean Up Company, aka TikTok user @thecleanupcompany, also took the chance to say what they would avoid having around the home.<\/p>\n She went on to tell their 108.7k followers that she would ban the classic checked tea towels.<\/p>\n The Yorkshire-based woman revealed: \u201cWhat we wouldn\u2019t recommend is these tea towels in particular.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAlthough ideally we don\u2019t like any tea towels \u2013 we would go for the muslin cloths.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are more versatile and wring out. We would suggest washing and drying your pots with the same cloth.<\/p>\n \u201cSo the muslin cloths would hundred per cent be a better alternative and they also wash brilliantly.<\/p>\n \u201cTea towels hold germs \u2013 and then you re-use them, so you could potentially use them on a dirty pot, if you\u2019ve missed a bit, and then you go back to that same cloth.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not ideal and they\u2019re just known for harbouring bacteria.\u201d<\/p>\n Ideally we don\u2019t like any tea towels <\/p>\n Other items to add to the bin alongside tea towels include the supermarket stocked tough sponges with little holes.<\/p>\n The Clean Up Company explained: \u201cThey serve no purpose \u2013 they are too hard to be a cloth and too soft to be a scourer.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAgain, we\u2019d stick to the microfibres.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cPeople often have sponges sitting at the side of the sinks, and that is something that is an absolute no-go \u2013 it\u2019s not clean at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Similarly, the cleaning pro frowns on all sorts of cleaning products \u2013 from Fabulosa to Mr Muscle.<\/p>\n Speaking about Fabulosa, she said: \u201cWe actually call that the flavoured water of cleaning products.<\/p>\n \u201cIt actually serves no purpose, it has no use. It doesn\u2019t actually do anything. We\u2019re talking extreme cleans, to actually remove the visible dirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe can\u2019t stand it, we just don\u2019t like it \u2013 we are not on the bandwagon of the trend.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, she branded Mr Muscle\u2019s oven cleaner \u201cabsolutely useless\u201din her opinion and said they would \u201cnever\u201d have it in their essentials cupboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/newspress-collage-23691792-1693832152040.jpg\")
