How to Disinfect a Broom

Brooms do so much of the cleaning work that we sometimes forget that they need a good clean too. Today I will explain a very simple method for broom cleaning that will have your broom in terrific clean and disinfected shape again in no time.

1. Take all of the hair out of your broom.  If need be, cut some out.
2. Wash the broom in detergent and warm water.
3. Rinse out, using cold water.
4. Hang up in the sun to dry.  Lean the broom head up.  Drying it in the sun will kill off any left over bacteria.
5. Now don't forget to put it away. See, that was not very hard at all was it? Do this once a month if you use your broom a lot.  Otherwise, do it every 2 months. 

Tip: to help keep your home clean and disinfected, don't use your broom outside. Have one broom for inside and one for outside. This will help keep gross germs out and help keep your floors cleaner.

A little Note to take

I saw this little note today and just had to share...

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. She says, "The laundry is not very clean. She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looks on, but remains silent. Every time her neighbor hangs her wash to dry, the young woman makes the same comment. A month later, the young woman is surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and says to her husband, "Look she's finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?" The husband replies, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." And so it is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.
