1. Skirting Boards (a.k.a. Baseboards)

Dust and pet hair love to settle here, and because they’re low to the ground, they’re easy to ignore. A simple wipe with a damp cloth or vacuum attachment can lift the entire look of a room.

2. Behind the Radiators

Warm, hidden, and rarely disturbed—perfect conditions for dust to build up. Use a long-handled brush or duster to reach behind radiators and keep allergens at bay.

3. Ceiling Corners and Light Fixtures

Look up! Ceiling corners and light fittings attract cobwebs and dust. A soft microfiber duster or vacuum attachment works wonders here, especially if you have high ceilings.

4. Behind and Beneath Furniture

Crumbs, pet hair, and dust bunnies collect under beds, sofas, and cabinets. Make a habit of moving furniture every few weeks for a more thorough clean.

5. Tops of Cupboards and Doors

Flat, high-up surfaces—like the tops of kitchen cupboards—gather a sticky layer of dust that’s often missed. Use a degreaser or mild cleaner to cut through the grime.

6. Door Handles, Switches & Remotes

These are some of the most touched items in your home, making them prime spots for bacteria and germs. Wipe down door handles, light switches, and remote controls regularly with disinfectant.

7. Bins (Even with Liners!)

Liners don’t catch everything. Food residue, leaks, and odours can linger inside your kitchen and bathroom bins. A monthly deep clean with hot soapy water and disinfectant goes a long way.

8. Washing Machine Drawer & Rubber Seal

Detergent residue and mould can build up in your washing machine drawer and around the door seal. Wipe them down with a mild bleach solution or white vinegar to keep everything fresh and clean.

9. Houseplants

Yes, even your plants need a clean! Dust can settle on leaves and block sunlight, affecting growth. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth keeps your plants healthy and looking vibrant.

10. Air Vents and HVAC Ducts

Dust, pet dander, and allergens can collect in your air vents and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system, reducing air quality and system efficiency. If your vents feel dusty or you notice musty smells, it may be time to clean or replace filters—or even book a professional duct cleaning.
