BEDROOM
Pillows: 2-3 years
It is very important for the pillows to be changed regularly. Not only they lose the comfortness, but also, they become an unbelievable home for dust mites.
Slippers: 6 months
The slippers need to be changed from time to time because they can spread fungal infections. Some types of slippers can be washed without them falling apart.
BATHROOM
Sponge: 2 weeks & Shower Pouf: 6 months.
Shower utensils can breed fungus and mold. Don’t use expired sponges and poufs to clean your body! For natural and synthetic shower poufs, boil them in hot water to kill growing bacteria.
Towel: 1-3 years
The towels lose their absorption power and if not washed regularly they are an optimal environment for bacteria growth. Make sure you change them at least every 3 years.
Toothbrush: 3 months
We all know we are supposed to replace our toothbrushes when the bristles begin to wear down. Furthermore, change your toothbrush after a flu or a virus. That way you will avoid getting sick again.
DRESSER
Hairbrush: 1 year
It is important to clean your brushes thoroughly at least once a week and replace them with new ones every year.
Perfume &, Eau de toilette: 1-3 years
Perfumes with essential oils can last for three years when they are store closed and two years when they are store opened. Eau de toilette is fine for four years when stored closed and two years when stored opened.
NURSERY
Latex pacifier must be replaced, regardless of their condition and how long they are used. Latex easily breaks, and the cracks breed germs.
Child car seats: 6-10 years
The plastic and foam deteriorate over time, losing the shape of the seat until it can no longer protect the child. It’s more ideal to buy a new car seat for your child instead of a second hand version.
WARDROBE
Bra: 1-2 years
Ask any woman and they are likely to admit that they hang on to their bras until the wire begins to pop out. But bra experts suggest that your lingerie should never celebrate a birthday and should be replaced regularly too. Elise Recour, General Manager for bra manufacturer Gossard: ‘This may sound extravagant, but if you are wearing a bra regularly, even if it’s high quality and you take good care of it, you will start to lose support and comfort, and the boost and uplift you bought it for will be substantially reduced after eight months or so.’
Running shoes: 1 year
After 250-300 miles, the cushioning of the sneaks begins to break down. However, your joints are experiencing unnecessary stress.
