It often happens after moving into a new home, when previous occupants didn't clean the appliances properly, or after a power cut caused the food in the fridge to spoil while you were away.

Why Deep Cleaning Matters More During Flu Season

As the weather turns colder and flu season makes its annual comeback, we naturally spend more time indoors, and so do germs. Flu and cold viruses spread mainly through droplets when someone coughs or sneezes.
