The bathroom could just be one of the germiest place in any home, so it is but natural for homeowners to want to use disinfectants to ensure cleanliness of this part of the house.

Store-bought Disinfectants though can be pricey, and not to mention, can contain harmful chemicals that can endanger the health and the environment.

“Did you know that your bathroom sink is one of the most germ-ridden locations in your home? That’s because after the sink is used for things like washing hands and brushing teeth, which remove bacteria from the body, pathogens often stay put rather than rinsing down the drain. Plus the wet environment promotes germ growth. So it’s important to clean and disinfect this area often, in order to prevent the spread of germs around your home. Keeping disinfecting wipes in your bathroom makes it simple to wipe down the bathroom counter to clean up messes and disinfect regularly.”
