Wash the dishes immediately. After eating, wash the dishes or place them in the dishwasher and not let them accumulate in the sink. Washing dishes is a simple task to do in a short time, with that your kitchen will remain neat and clean.
Keep your bed clean. The bedspreads and sheets must be very clean. They also have to match all the decorations of the bedroom. To not worry if your child or pet gets on the bed, I advise you to place an old sheet over the sheets and bedspreads.
Leave the washer lid open. After the wash cycle is over, you must leave the washer lid open for an hour. This will allow the moisture to evaporate quickly and thus prevent mold and mildew growth.
