Due to the busy day to day life, we tend to bury our head in the sand and forget some of the areas at home, and because of this, these areas not just build but also collects dust, grimes, and bacteria overtime, this has a direct impact to your health, affecting the indoor air quality in your home. Pay attention as we reveal the areas that we often forget to clean at home.

1. Light Switches & Doorknobs – Oh yes, these are the areas that we touch on a regular basis, these part of the house not just collect grimes but also collect bacteria so therefore it is very important that you wiped down and disinfect these areas regularly.
2. Under & Behind Appliances – Since these areas are hard to reach, we tend not to include this on our cleaning routine. These areas must be done at least once a month as areas like under and behind your fridge, oven, microwave, washing machine, and dishwasher are areas that can collect grimes, dust and crumbs that can be a favourite spot and attract pest and germs.
3. Ceiling Fans & Light Fixtures – These are often not on our cleaning list weekly as may take time however ignoring these areas have definitely have an impact to the quality of the air that we are breathing in as it attracts dust and can circulate allergens if not cleaned regularly.
4. Remote Controls & Keyboards – How often do you clean these? These are the accessories that touched daily but yet we rarely sanitized them, making them breeding grounds for bacteria.
5. Shower Curtains & Bathmats – Do you wash these on a weekly or monthly? Well, since shower curtains and bathmats are often left wet it can leave moist and these areas can breed mould and bacteria, so it is essential that we wash them frequently.
6. Baseboards & Door Frames – These areas can be easily ignored and forgotten, setting a intentional one off cleaning is vital to reduce the dust that accumulates on them. By not including them in your cleaning routine would make the rooms look dull and unclean.
7. Inside Kitchen Cabinets & Drawers – Drink spillages, food crumbs, as well as grimes and dust often go unnoticed inside storage spaces, leading to an unhygienic kitchen.
8. Behind the Toilet & Under the Sink – These areas are likely to build up with grime, moisture, and mould growth, at least fortnightly cleaning is essential.
9. Mattresses & Pillows – You might find difficult to sleep and some body allergies start showing in your body, because that could be that you are not cleaning and washing your mattress and pillow regularly. Mattresses and pillows are the areas we spend most lying and our Dead skin cells and dust mites settle here over time, affecting sleep quality and triggering allergies.
10. Air Vents & Filters – When air vents and filters have accumulated dust and debris, these can reduce air quality so including these areas at least once a month cleaning is crucial.

Ignoring and neglecting these areas can lead to dust buildup, allergens, and even mould growth, impacting the cleanliness and comfort of your home. By incorporating these hidden spots into your regular cleaning routine, you can create a healthier and more hygienic living space.
