Overlooked spots that remain untouched in the cleaning makes a big difference in how one feels about his or her home. There’s a level of discomfort that goes with instinctively knowing the refrigerator should already be moved and the space behind it swept and mopped or the base around the toilet disinfected. A total clean-up must be done and here’s what’s included in a deep clean. Do it step by step so you’re not overwhelmed.

1. Behind and Under Furniture

Sweep and then vacuum or mop the areas beneath and at the back of the living room set, beds, side tables, and cabinets. Move them aside and deal with the dust, pet dander, or clutter that may be hiding there.

2. Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures

When cleaning the ceiling fan and lights, you’ll be surprised at how thick the layers of dust, cobwebs and dirt that are there. Use a ladder and clean with a microfiber cloth to prevent dust and dirt from falling.

3. Baseboards and Door Frames

Remember to wipe down often-ignored baseboard and door frames that collect dirt and dust. Use a moist cloth to restore their shine and bring back a new look to your home.

4. Air Vents and Return Grilles

Every time the ventilation is turned on, expect dust and allergens to be captured by the vents and circulated throughout the house. Take the covers off and give it a thorough vacuum or wipe.

5. Window Tracks and Sills

Dirt and pollen often accumulate in the sliding tracks and ledges of windows. Because of them, the glass panels become dull and sticky. Clean tracks and sills with a vacuum and wipe the panes to finish the job.

6. Behind Appliances

Appliances conceal surprising quantities of dirt behind and around them. Move the refrigerator, washer, and other devices or machines to clean up crumbs, debris, and spills. Mop the floors of the exposed areas as it helps remove odors and drive away pests. So, are deep cleaning necessary? You know it is..

7. Cabinet Tops and Inside Drawers

Cabinets have concealed areas that gather dirt as time passes. Clean their top and take out everything from each drawer to vacuum and clean. This is even more important for kitchen cupboards as they attract vermin

8. Hidden Bathroom Areas

Clean behind the toilet, beneath the sink, and along the bottom of the vanity. Do the same for the exhaust fan, the area behind the mirror, and the interiors of cabinets. These moist areas promote mold and bacteria growth.

9. Wall Corners and High Surfaces

Elevated surfaces and the corners of walls are known hiding places of dust and debris that are overlooked by average cleaning. Address them with an extendable duster or a vacuum attachment for hard-to-reach places.

10. Light Switches and Door Handles

High-touch areas have the most germs and bacteria. They need to be cleaned with moist cloth and sanitized with alcohol. Targeted cleaning must include light switches, doorknobs, cabinet handles, and landlines.

Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind

Thorough upkeep of a home doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
