door handles, light switch, how often for cleaning ?

[IsaFrench]

I've been looking at a few cleaning schedules and cannot see/decide

- how often I should wipe door handles and ligth switches
(am ok with a short daily routine, am still struggling with a theorical weekly routine and am hit and miss with monthly and quarterly routines)

- and with what ? is 50:50 vinegar and water spray enough or does it need something comercial that says "antibacterial" on the bottle ?

what do you do in your home ? how often ?

any other small tasks you could suggest for cleaning objects we touch every day without thinking that we are spreading germs ?

Thanks in advance

I pretty much clean them when someone is sick. I think some germs are OK. I avoid visiting with people when they are definitely sick, I wash hands a lot, but don't worry beyond that. ETA: I don't always think of it when someone is sick either, but if it's something I am really trying to keep from spreading, I clean them.

When I clean them, I typically use 10% bleach. I use mostly vinegar on a daily basis, but I have clorox/lysol wipes for when I'm in a hurry.

I don't clean them very often. I mean, in the bathroom I do pretty much every time I clean the bathroom, but I don't go around the house cleaning door handles and light switches on any kind of regular basis. I do plan on doing so with a magic eraser, at least the switches (they are flat and attract dirt/fingerprints) in the next couple of days before MIL comes - but it's not for fear of germs, but b/c I want them to look clean.

Due to my son's immune deficiency, I'm going to start cleaning mine every couple of days. Maybe even every day.
