Every home has a unique cleaning routine that we stick to. Regular vacuuming of upholsteries, sweeping and mopping of floors, wiping down countertops, scrubbing the bedrooms, kitchen, and living room, and sanitizing of bathrooms. But would you believe us if we said there are still many spots that you miss even with regular cleaning? Yes, there are a few spots that get little to no attention. Take it from the experts; these spots matter more than you think. Here is a closer look at 8 common spots people often overlook while cleaning.

Light switches

Light switches are a high-touch area that hardly gets our attention while cleaning. But germs and bacteria from our hands directly transfer to these areas. But a quick wipe-down is all it takes to get rid of all the pollutants.

Behind the refrigerator

We barely even think about such a spot, let alone disconnecting it and moving around every time we clean. Dust, dirt, or even mould can build up back there. But it is important to move the refrigerator at least once a month and clean the entire area using appropriate cleaning products.

Ceiling fans

Ceiling fans are dust magnets. Layers of dust and grime accumulate on its blades and circulate back to the room. Wiping them down twice a month is essential to keep the air clean and your space cleaner.

Shower curtains

Most people hang shower curtains once and hardly ever give them any attention until it’s time to get them down. As they are constantly in contact with soap and water, it is a prime spot for mildew and mould. Regular washing and proper drying are a great way to keep them clean.

Remote controls

Remote controls almost always come into contact with human hands, and sometimes pets, too. Always be sure to wipe remote controls using disinfectants to remove all kinds of germs and bacteria.

Window tracks

Window tracks collect all kinds of dust and dirt, and it is one of the trickiest areas to clean, too. Use appropriate tools and products, and clean window tracks every once in a while.

Trash cans

Maybe we regularly take the trash out. But do we really give the trash cans a proper clean? Not really. But the next time you take the trash out, remember to clean the can properly before placing it back.

Mattresses

Before you take a deep sigh of realization, think about how lucky you are to find this out at least now. Dust mites, sweat, stains, and God-knows-what get accumulated in mattresses, and they never come out. Only regular cleaning can keep mattresses clean and extend their lifespan.
