For clean freaks, that means that gone are the days of spot-cleaning with a toothbrush. Leave yourself time to spend with your baby, but stay on top of baby home safety by keeping certain heavy-traffic areas clean.

KITCHEN

A lot of germs also reside in the kitchen because of the amount of cooking and spillage that takes place there. Be sure to use disinfectant wipes and triggers to keep counters as clean as possible so your baby can eat without you worrying. Just wipe or spray to disinfect then rinse clean, and you’ll be good to go.
