Some items in your home require regular replacement, and it's not just your toothbrush and dish sponge.
Although we have to deal with these items every day and several times a day, only a few people think about the fact that it’s time to change them.
We'll tell you what these items are.
They serve reliably for years and even more, but this does not mean that their service life is unlimited.
1. Non-stick frying pan
There are models that do not last even half a year of daily use. Higher quality models last from 3 to 5 years. But it is important to study the manufacturer's recommendations and not to abuse these tips.
2. Plastic boards
Cutting boards made of plastic or silicone do not take up much space, but unlike wooden ones, they are not as durable and are unsafe for health. Rarely a plastic board can last longer than one year.
3. Pumice
It is advisable to change this hygiene item every month and not to share it with others. The longer you use the product, the more pathogenic microorganisms can multiply in it.
4. Cat litter box
You will have to either clean it properly or change it at least once a year. If there are several cats in the house, the service life of the product is reduced. The fact is that plastic has the ability to absorb odors, so the toilet can smell bad, even after cleaning and if the tray is absolutely clean.
5. Toilet seat
This item needs to be replaced every 5-7 years depending on the material it is made of. If cracks appear, the color starts to change, and stains appear, then the product will have to be replaced earlier.
