Lifestyle - This items you have to throw away by time

Since I wrote an article about how to using baking powder, I started to clean everything at home. I tried to remove the toughest stains, but this does not always work.

Meanwhile, I was checking what you need to replace regularly in the kitchen and in the bathroom.


Kitchen sponge

Replace it every week. Why? The more you use the dishwashing sponges the more millions of bacteria can cause a health hazard and food poisoning . Even if you are using the latest cleaning techniques such as wet sponge stop a minute in the microwave to kill bacteria, it is no reason not to replace your washing sponge frequently.



Pillows (bedroom and living: inside pillows)


Replace every 18 months. Why? Old pillows absorb all sorts of nasty things like fungi, dead skin cells and dust mites , which can cause illness and allergies. You would cushions can wash every month by a shot glass of bleach to stop at the laundry in 18 months. Just be careful that you have to put the pillows 2 times to centrifugation and whip it up well so they still stay in shape.



Scrub Gloves or -spons


Replace every three months - but in the meantime you have to wash it with super hot water and let them dry, preferably outside (bacteria die when freezing temperatures) .
Why? loofahs are a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi may contain organisms that lead to skin infections.


Your Bra (of course for the ladies ... )


You should replace them preferably every 6 to 12 months - you can use the extensibility and last longer by turning them regularly.
Why Older bras offer less support that can lead to back pain and can even cause skin discomfort (striae )



Dried herbs


When? If they are kept airtight most herbs must still be replaced after one year. Dried whole (unground) spices are generally 3 years. TIP : Attach a label with the date set out what the expiration date (this is usually stated on the bottle or bag)
Why? Herbs and spices are not "bad", but they lose their flavor (a major disaster if you love good cooking )


Your toothbrush



When? Every 3-4 months or sooner if the bristles are frayed after use. Children's toothbrushes should perhaps be replaced before earlier.
Why? The biggest reason is because older toothbrushes are less effective in the cleaning of teeth, but also bacteria and other micro -organisms evolve with time. There is not really any clinical evidence that these microorganisms are harmful to you , but still - nasty.


Beauty Products


2-3 months: mascaras, scrub and masks (not dry), nail file and shower punching or sisal gloves.

6-12 months: liquid eyeliner, liquid foundation, concealer, anti- acne products, eye cream, face wash and serum

1 to 1.5 years : lip gloss, eye shadow cream, face cream  in jar), sunscreen, soap bars, shower gel , eyebrow gels

2 years: eye and lip pencils, lipsticks, nail polish, powder eye shadow and blush , powder foundation, body lotion in a pot, scrubs in a pot,

3 years: shampoo and conditioner, body lotion pump, perfume, hair spray .

Here's why: Expired beauty products can caught a whole range of problems including inflammation , rashes and allergic reactions, which can really cause serious problems 


Eyelash curler


When? At least every twelve months, but usually it is recommended to buy a new one every six months. The pads in the curler you have to replace every three months.
Why: The changes over time perceptible and noticeable in use as the eyelash curler loses its precision and performance as you continue to use.


Nonstick kitchenware


If you should replace it is better to do it every two years, but if the pan full of scratches then you should immediately stop using the pan or baking pan.
Here's why: Older pans have more chance of poison substances released by the individual components of the metal.



Now go to your bathroom or kitchen and check all your gear and replace if necessary. On to the next project.

Do you have more tips for me for stuff who quickly have to be replaced or need to be renewed? All tips are welcome by post your comment below this blog post.
