Keep reading to learn what the best maid service in Loveland recommends to make sure that you are getting the most out of all of your time and effort cleaning your home. Hopefully by focusing on these areas, you will get the results that you are looking for!
What are some of the most commonly missed areas during a home cleaning?
Whether you are looking for information on in-home eco-dry cleaning solutions or simply want to revamp your apartment cleaning routine, we are always here to help you out! Below you can find some of the most frequently missed and neglected areas to clean in a home.Â
1. High Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures
Dusting can sometimes be a tricker and harder task than you would think! While some areas of the home are obvious to dust that are at your eye level, looking up is crucial for a complete deep cleaning. Make sure to use your high duster to get to high ceiling fans, as well as ceiling edges and corners.Â
2. Behind and Underneath Furniture
While you may not want to do this every time that you clean, occasionally moving your furniture is a good idea. This will ensure that you can get any extra grime and dust from underneath and around the furniture. Not only will this help keep your home that much cleaner, it should also help your indoor air quality. Don’t forget to take a look at the hidden baseboards as well!
3. Garbage Disposal
The garbage disposal can get pretty gross, especially in kitchens that get a ton of use! Keep it running smooth and smelling fresh by simply pouring a half cup of baking soda into the disposal, followed by some distilled white vinegar. Let it set for about 10 minutes, then run hot water into the disposal while running it.Â
4. Interior Cabinet and Closet Shelves
While not always the easiest area to clean if there is a lot of stuff stored in your closet, it is still an area you should focus on from time to time. If you have a bunch of stuff to move, it may be best to do this task as a stand alone cleaning task, as moving things will take time. Once the shelf or interior cabinet is cleared out, simply use a microfiber cloth and all purpose spray to wipe, dust and scrub as needed.Â
5. Behind the Toilet
While no one really likes to clean the toilet, it is crucial for any bathroom cleaning routine. Make sure to get behind the toilet, as lots of dust and grime can build up there. The more often you do it, the quicker and easier it will be!
6. Window and Door Frames
While very easy to clean, these are often overlooked when cleaning. Simply take a microfiber cloth to dry dust them, or use an all purpose cleaner as needed for more scrubbing power, or to tackle any marks or stuck on grime.Â
7. Underneath RugsÂ
Rugs give a great aesthetic to rooms, but do make cleaning floors a bit harder. Depending on the size and location of your rug, you may either be able to move it fully to clean underneath it, or it may only be practical to regularly clean underneath the edges and corners.Â
Even if it is a very large rug, you should try to fully pick it up a few times a year to thoroughly clean under it.Â
8. BaseboardsÂ
Baseboards can be a pain to clean, as you need to get down so low to tend to them, however, a clean baseboard really brightens up the home! Depending on the state of them, you may be able to get away with a simple dusting of them. Using a long duster on a pole, you may be able to clean them without much effort.Â
If the baseboards are in need of more of a wet wiping and scrubbing, then grab your all purpose spray and a handful of microfiber rags. Spray and scrub as needed to get them clean again.Â
9. Refrigerator (and top!)
The refrigerator can take some time to clean as it is usually loaded up with food. It is best to clean it every couple of months depending on how much it is used. Not only do you want to give the interior a good wipe down with a clean cloth, you should also go through it to dispose of any old food or condiments that have gone bad or are taking up space.Â
Additionally, take a look at the top of the refrigerator, as this area has a tendency to build up lots of dust and grime, as well as miscellaneous clutter.Â
10. Inside Microwave and Other Appliances
Because the interior of the microwave, as well as other appliances such as the dishwasher, are hidden from everyday view, it is easy to neglect cleaning them. For the microwave, simply microwave a small bowl of water for 1-2 minutes. You can add dish soap or lemon juice for added scrubbing power as well. Use the steam from the water to wipe the interior clean.Â
The dishwasher can usually just be cleaned with a clean microfiber cloth and water. You can use dish soap as well if you need more scrubbing power.Â
11. Exterior Windows and Door Glass
While cleaning the interior windows and door glass is very beneficial, the exterior will need cleaning as well. It can get really dirty from the elements, or from dog smudges when they are waiting to come back in the sliding glass door. Depending on your home, this may be a tricky task as the windows may be too big or high to reasonably clean on your own. If this is the case, you may need to call an exterior window washing company. Even if you are not able to clean all of your windows, you will still likely be able to clean the exterior glass on all of your doors, and any other ground level exterior windows.Â
12. Plant Dusting
Plants are a great addition to any household, as they improve the look of the home, as well as the air quality. Unfortunately, they can also attract lots of dust. To clean them, simply use some water and a clean rag to get the dust and debris off. You may also be able to take the plant into the shower to spray it down fully.Â
