It’s easy to forget that certain inanimate things actually do have a shelf life. Most frequently used home objects can collect mildew, bacteria, and serious germs over a certain amount of time. Keep yourself healthy, and prevent possible sickness, by checking your home to see if the time is up for these 6 things:

1. Pillow - 2 years
2. Toothbrush -  3  months
3. Makeup brushes - 2 years
4. Bath towels - 2 years
5. Sponges - 1 month
6. Spices - 1 year
