People shared the household objects you really should clean more regularly – stick these 20 on your to-do list

Let’s face it: most of us probably don’t wash everyday household things as much as we should.

But this Reddit question revealed a whole lot of other items that should be cleaned more regularly than you think.

Prepare to feel utterly disgusting (and wildly irritated you’ve got even more housework than you did two minutes ago).
