Your Hands: As our indoor weeks turn to months, we can’t forget just how important it is to keep hands clean and pristine! Lather up with foaming Castile soap, close your eyes, and make wash time cathartic while singing to the tune of your favorite song or repeating the affirmation of your choice (forget “Happy Birthday”). Never underestimate the power of a few deep breaths and some warm water. Wash, pat dry, and enjoy healthy hands and hopefully some new energy. Your Kids: While you’re scrubbing away the havoc they’re causing, don’t forget to give them a good washing too! Castile soap is safe on the most sensitive skin (babies included) and can even be used to make a diluted baby wipe. In addition to wiping down the littlest family members themselves, don’t forget their toys, the changing table, and the various household items that have a way of ending up in their mouths when you’re not looking. Your Bedside Table: If you’re like us, there’s a chance your bedside table has become more than a place to rest the novel you’re slowly working through. There are rings from water glasses, miscellaneous pens, face masks, and confession: a crumb or two. Your Castile spray bottle is the solution, spray it down, wipe it with a clean cloth (then toss it in the laundry!) Your Tech: As your laptop, TV, and cellphone have become your local fitness studio, restaurant, bar, classroom, retail store, and so much more, it’s imperative we give it all an extra-diligent daily cleaning to remove the sweat, grime, and splash of red wine that may have found its way to screens and keys. Don’t forget the remote! For between buttons and tight spaces, Castile soap plus a straw cleaner are the perfect pair. Your Mask: Last but not least, the essential of all essentials: your face mask. This necessary covering protects you from a potentially harmful environment…but also receives your every breath, occasional sneeze, and so much more. Delicately lather your mask in Castile soap, rinse with warm water thoroughly, and let completely air dry on a clean, flat, surface. With this checklist, you’re able to fret less, keep safe cleaning simple (via CDC protocol1), and maybe even enjoy it a little.
