When it comes to cleaning, most of us focus on the obvious areas: floors, countertops, and bathrooms. But what about those often-overlooked spots that collect dust and grime over time? Neglecting these areas can not only make your home look less tidy but also impact your health.

If its not yet a habit now, start incorporating these to your cleaning routine and your house will be spick and span in no time.

1. The Tops of Cabinets and Shelves

How often do you look up when cleaning? The tops of kitchen cabinets, bookshelves, and wardrobes are dust magnets. These high-up surfaces are out of sight, out of mind, but they accumulate a surprising amount of dust and grime.

2. Light Switches and Door Handles

We touch light switches and door handles multiple times a day, yet they rarely make it onto our cleaning checklists. These high-touch surfaces can harbor germs and should be wiped down regularly with a disinfectant.

3. Baseboards

Baseboards often go unnoticed during regular cleaning. Over time, dust, pet hair, and dirt can accumulate along these low surfaces. A quick wipe with a damp cloth can make a big difference.

4. Underneath Large Appliances

How long has it been since you cleaned under your refrigerator or oven? Crumbs, spills, and dust can gather under these large appliances, attracting pests and causing odors.

5. Air Vents and Ducts

Air vents and ducts are often out of sight, making them easy to forget. However, dust and debris can build up inside, affecting air quality and the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems. Regular cleaning or professional servicing can help.
