The “Invisible” Grime in Your Sanctuary

There is a huge difference between a home that looks clean and one that actually is. Usually, the cleaning is done on the visible surfaces of the homes, such as wiping up the counter, mopping and vacuuming the floors, scrubbing out the bathroom sink, and then you will get a clean glance of your home. But even after the cleaning is done in these areas, you have a feeling that your home is stale, dusty, and gets dirty easily. We have been cleaning our home for years, and we know that those hidden dirty spots and invisible grime in your sanctuary really need to be cleaned. 

The Kitchen Is More Than Just Counters

One of the never-ending tasks in every household’s life is actually cleaning the kitchen. Even if you clean your kitchen every day, some areas still can slip past your radar. Here are they; 

The Top of the Refrigerator

In the most neglected areas that never get your attention, and are the highly hidden dirty spots of your kitchen, is the top of the refrigerator. This area stays out of the spot, even the extensive cleaners and hard to reach well. For that reason, this area usually gets accumulated with dirt, dust, and a lot of grease.

Light Switches And Outlet Covers

Switches and outlet covers are the areas of any home that are highly used and easily get dirty. These are one of the most overlooked areas of the kitchen, but the amounts of bacteria and grime it contains should never be ignored for a healthy routine. You can clean these with a microfiber cloth and disinfect them.

Sticky Handles And Knobs

The kitchen is all about the cabinets, and you have to open up the cabinets every other second. For this reason, the handles and knobs can make them sticky and greasy. There is airborne grease in the kitchen, which, combined with dust, creates a stubborn film that keeps growing. You can scrub them or clean them with an alcohol wipe for perfect and ungreased knobs and handles.

The Living & High-Touch Zones

After the kitchen, the other dirty spots you are going to find are in the living area, the zone that is of high-touch. In the spots that everyone in the family touches frequently every day, we have listed a few: 

Remote Controls & Game Controllers

For the germs and bacteria, the hidden and the most loved spot is the remote controls and the game controllers, and as multiple people touch them every day, no one thinks of disinfecting them. It collects the dead skin from hands, sweat, and food crumbs, which can really be the reason for spreading diseases as well. You should clean it with a cloth damped in alcohol (isopropyl) or hire our professionals. 

Door Handles

Out of the kitchen, there are doors and windows in your home that are touched frequently but disinfected rarely. The door and window handles are where the bacteria and germs actually get trapped. You can clean with a detergent or wipe.

The Underside of Your Area Rugs

Another spot that every homeowner misses out in their daily cleaning routine is the underside of the rugs of your home. There are heaps of dirt, allergens, and dust because of the foot traffic. Once every week, you should deeply vacuum the outside and inside of the rugs. 

The Bathroom & Laundry Room

Bathroom and laundry are also among the most excessively used and cleaned areas, but still, you might be missing these spots. 

The Toothbrush Holder

You use the toothbrush twice a day for your personal health and hygiene, but mostly you forget about the cleanliness of your toothbrush holder, as it is the germ-ridden spot in your bathroom. You can clean it by soaking it in the soap or vinegar once a week. 

Bath Mats & Shower Curtains

In the bathroom, another spot that is overlooked most of the time is the bath mats and the shower curtains. Due to the constant moisture and soap residue, it contains mildew, mold, and bacteria, and you might get sick if not cleaned on time. 

The Washing Machine Gasket

Another hidden spot for the germs, dirt, and mold, and acts as a hotspot, is the washing machine gasket. Because it keeps the water stored in it, it is exposed to water and moisture, which is an ideal environment for the fungus. 

The “Forgot to Look Up” Spot

These are the hidden architectural details of your home, which usually do not come up in the cleaning spots and are never on your list. 

 Ceiling Fan Blades

One of the notably dirty hidden spots of your home is the ceiling fan blades, which get dirty easily, usually due to electrostatic attraction and fluid dynamics. These attract the dust so easily when spinning and should be cleaned. 

 A Healthier Home Starts with the Details

A healthy home can never be achieved when you do not pay attention to minor details and clean them on usual basis. However, if you do not have enough time and find it difficult, you still have the option to call a professional and hire us to clean your home.
