When it comes to cleaning your home, there are likely going to be parts of your home that you clean on a daily basis, even multiple times per day, weekly, etc. But there are going to be those sneaky areas that fly under the radar and don’t get cleaned as often as they could be or even should be. And this is true for many homes. Out of sight, out of mind, as the case is sometimes. But these areas definitely need to be added to your cleaning schedule, as regular maintenance can significantly improve the appearance of your home.

Light Switches

How often do you use your light switches? And how frequently do you clean them? Over time, as you turn the switches on and off, they will accumulate dirt from your fingers, and this can build up. However, light switches are often overlooked in relation to regular cleaning, and this can be a job you add to your weekly checklist or to help ensure they are clean and hygienic and you’re not leaving them to get filthy.

Air Con

Your air-con is an integral aspect of your home, and the relief you can get from the system can be immense for those days when it’s sweltering outside. However, if you do not clean it regularly, you are likely allowing dust and dirt to build up, impacting its performance and reducing its effectiveness. Regular air conditioner cleaning means you can ensure it’s working to its full capacity with ease and extend its lifespan as it’s not working hard to produce the same conditions due to building up on parts and filters.

Windows and Screens

As odd as it might sound, many people regularly neglect to clean their windows and screens, especially externally. They can accumulate grime from your life and living conditions internally and externally from environmental factors such as local wildlife, pollution, and the local ecosystem. This grime not only affects the view from your windows but also gives the impression of a dirty and unkempt home. Regular cleaning ensures a clear view and a clean, welcoming home.

Window Blinds

Blinds on the windows, like the windows themselves, can often be overlooked in terms of cleaning. And again, like the windows, they can experience build-up, and if you have hard materials such as wooden or metal blinds, cleaning them with soft cloths and appropriate cleaners can allow you to remove a layer of dirt and dust and restore them back to their original condition.

Inside Kitchen Cabinets

Looking inside kitchen cabinets and taking everything out you can alert you to the cleanliness of your cabinets. Often, people forget to clean inside cabinets as they’re simply storage areas for kitchen utensils and appliances, and once the door is shut; it’s not seen and forgotten about. But again, this area can collect dirt and debris from daily kitchen activities and even impact the items you are storing there.

Paying attention to all areas of your home and making a checklist can help you avoid overlooking certain areas of your home. Even if you pay them attention infrequently, make a note to add these areas to your cleaning routine, so they’re no longer overlooked.
