Places where you may forget to clean

9/29/20221 min read

A clean home isn’t just about sparkling floors and dust-free surfaces—it’s about paying attention to the often-overlooked spots where dirt and germs love to hide. Whether you're tackling spring cleaning, a deep clean, or just maintaining a tidy space, here are the key places you should clean to ensure a truly fresh and healthy home.

1. High-Touch Surfaces

Germs accumulate quickly on surfaces we touch daily. Don’t forget to regularly wipe down:

  • Light switches & door handles

  • Remote controls & gaming controllers

  • Refrigerator & microwave handles

  • Faucets & toilet flush handles

2. Hidden Dust Traps

Dust settles in places we often miss, contributing to allergies and poor air quality. Make sure to clean:

  • Ceiling fan blades

  • Vents & air registers

  • Under furniture (couches, beds, and appliances)

  • Baseboards & window sills

3. Kitchen Deep-Clean Zones

The kitchen is a hotspot for grease, food particles, and bacteria. Focus on:

  • Behind the stove & refrigerator

  • Microwave interior (splatters and odors)

  • Garbage disposal & sink drain

  • Inside cabinets & pantry shelves

4. Bathroom Trouble Spots

Bathrooms need extra attention to prevent mold and mildew buildup. Don’t neglect:

  • Showerheads & faucets (mineral deposits)

  • Grout lines between tiles

  • Toothbrush holders & soap dishes

  • Under the sink & inside medicine cabinets

5. Forgotten Appliances

Even appliances that clean need cleaning themselves!

  • Washing machine (run a cleaning cycle with vinegar)

  • Dishwasher (filter and door seals)

  • Oven & toaster crumbs

  • Coffee maker (descaling is a must!)

6. Floors & Upholstery

Dirt hides where we walk and sit. Refresh:

  • Under rugs & mats

  • Couch cushions & throw pillows

  • Curtains & blinds

  • Pet beds & play areas
