(Photo Credit: X)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">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?&#8221;, has grabbed attention online.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">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!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>Bath Mats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">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<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><strong>Bed Sheets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Bed sheets are another item often used for years. Dr Vora suggested that bed sheets should be replaced every two years.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>Toilet Brushes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">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<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><strong>Non-Stick Cookware<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">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<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><strong>Mattresses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">Dr Vora advised that mattresses should ideally be replaced every eight years they are essential for a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><strong>Couches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">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<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\"><strong>What Viewers Had To Say<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\">The video has accumulated over one lakh views. While many viewers appreciated the advice, others added playful comments.<\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\">One user commented, \u201cI need to replace myself&#8221; while another added \u201cI need to replace myself. I\u2019m riddled with many health conditions thanks to trauma.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\">Someone else said, \u201cBetter paying job to pay for all these replacements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\">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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"19\" class=\"story_para_19\">\u201cWhy bed sheets every 2 years? Quality fabrics you can easily wash weekly without it wearing out in 2 years,&#8221; an individual questioned.<\/p>\n<p id=\"20\" class=\"story_para_20\">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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"21\" class=\"story_para_21\">Knowing when to replace household items helps maintain hygiene and keeps your house clean and organised.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,UklGRgIDAABXRUJQVlA4IPYCAAAwJQCdASosAcgAPmEwlkekIyIhJDcIkIAMCWlu4XVRG2jfiezIohx5359wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuCq2ceFaLiV1H\/8x9KwXf\/OJLzd1lEVyRpIJzRpHhHXSnGBod9IfYFu9Ruvr0h55Rv1jwdfEvYf5d4GaFyCsqZGWdaid2H9uJlL8XfDpo4g+wC3ExOPLYgOdJ4t1Mblm4ysYoXF3UiI\/9o2hGBY87tiBEHfdTovs\/BCUUX7JmRRDV8ns9emZLbbgGLReXrq58pYe3e+cWwEE6VkgKz9XtXMNjKSc5T3w+yapJRHVhcUQ47hE3tkyf2QSiF+YwKTtepaied+fcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7fgAA\/v9y6AAAtG7FCnlC644LTxONH+0DNmaexB4oaAsZzGu\/EonTQ3s6CyPU09LPMFvfmIHni8v9IjHEBaNnLXPrqmWQ5bnizZgGM6Dqz0t2UEqzewqsz5Yq8Xksvl8hLAAcYVn\/kYLMj0KB\/KSMB3q6y8CZTcEz4OrUgbMbd8Zb1kQlSEVdGHtMMFj69samn9sIUV8x7MXPx5K4u\/jZ603Gm8N6Qwhe4FxNhjInXZO8aRl7T3dnNp6b8nkjX3MoF\/PqV+wnu14N6gCHHg58HAlI8rwKTacUs0dxcaYP5oVoCMa+Wg13ibQGDE9IW16Mp9V+3SBCD1p5zrCGXcG3CYpUJi0WPhKZFr2sF8HRNjNsEnJduIFUAhoQdZxL5hQe5AS0QaTvrxdQ5z1hw1kwJ5B2nQkPod8XD6Y3E4eJMn8tr0BCibcIusPCYW\/4+G\/Yeuobu\/pr82bvxdoSZau6Ow6+Xjyq2pr2q953XKusKZQ30SJx5oE8NuUARh6i4MjKzHe9TFXjvwJhq5g0AWjhEsVVBk+JQLUDtYLpKb9AbKWeNzZhAZLYjWS474VUOSu6MqC5ItYIQIvL+wGTcSajbQAAAAAAAA==\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/buzz-staff-17233.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Buzz Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture.<!-- --> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-341438783 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\">\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news18.co\/gnps-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google, News18&#8217;s viral page features trending stories, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/videos\/\">videos<\/a>, and memes, covering quirky incidents, social media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/buzz\/\">buzz<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/\">india<\/a> and around the world, Also Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\">News18 App<\/a>\u00a0to stay updated!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-341438783 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-341438783 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/viral\/\">viral<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> When To &#8216;Discard&#8217; Toilet Brush, Mattress?
