How often do you replace items we use daily at home, like mattresses, toilet brushes, or even bath mats? A recent video shared online by a doctor highlighted the exact timelines for replacing certain household items. The post, titled \u201cHow often to replace household items?”, has grabbed attention online.<\/p>\n

In the video, shared on Instagram, Dr Manan Vora covers a range of household essentials and provides clear timelines for when each should ideally be replaced. The caption of the video reads, \u201cHousehold Items You Probably Need To Replace ASAP!”<\/p>\n

Bath Mats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of us overlook bath mats and keep them for long periods. Dr Vora mentioned that bath mats should ideally be replaced within a year to maintain hygiene and avoid the accumulation of bacteria.<\/p>\n

Bed Sheets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bed sheets are another item often used for years. Dr Vora suggested that bed sheets should be replaced every two years.<\/p>\n

Toilet Brushes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toilet brushes need regular attention, too. According to Dr Vora, these should be replaced every 8 to 10 months to ensure proper cleanliness and hygiene in bathrooms.<\/p>\n

Non-Stick Cookware<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non-stick cookware usually lasts longer, but it also has limits. He recommended replacing non-stick cookware every five years or sooner, or when the coating peels.<\/p>\n

Mattresses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Vora advised that mattresses should ideally be replaced every eight years they are essential for a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

Couches<\/strong><\/p>\n

Couches can last over a decade, depending on use and care. Dr. Vora suggested a timeline of 12 to 15 years, noting that wear and tear may vary.<\/p>\n

What Viewers Had To Say<\/strong><\/p>\n

The video has accumulated over one lakh views. While many viewers appreciated the advice, others added playful comments.<\/p>\n

One user commented, \u201cI need to replace myself” while another added \u201cI need to replace myself. I\u2019m riddled with many health conditions thanks to trauma.”<\/p>\n

Someone else said, \u201cBetter paying job to pay for all these replacements.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a viewer asked about pillows: \u201cWhat about pillows? My dad is not throwing out his favourite handmade semal-silk cotton pillow since long ago, though it look fresh but I feel OCD of old cloths and faded clothes.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy bed sheets every 2 years? Quality fabrics you can easily wash weekly without it wearing out in 2 years,” an individual questioned.<\/p>\n

A person humorously commented, \u201cO Brother!!!!! We are Indians. We make the carpenter sit in our house n make furniture. It is supposed to last at least 2 generations. You are saying 12 to 13 years is scandalous.”<\/p>\n

Knowing when to replace household items helps maintain hygiene and keeps your house clean and organised.<\/p>\n
