10 Commonly Missed Cleaning Spots
2

• Since cleaning is a chore that most of us prefer
  to get over and done with as quickly as possible,
  we often miss spots when were doing it. This is
  usually because weve either forgotten about
  them, or we dont particularly care whether
  theyre clean because we cant see them. But just
  because you cant see dirt, doesnt mean that it
  isnt there!
• Here are ten of the most commonly missed spots or
  areas when cleaning at home

3

• Beneath the fridge
• Your fridge might be sparkling clean on the
  inside, but you can bet your bottom dollar that
  therell be a layer of grease, grime and dust
  underneath it. While this area is usually never
  seen, its a good idea to clean it every couple
  of months, just to prevent bacteria from building
  up there, and the more often you do it, the less
  hard work itll be each time.

4

• Toothbrush holder
• We keep our teeth nice and clean by brushing them
  twice daily, but we often dont dry our brushes
  off properly after weve used them, meaning that
  water and residue drips down into the holder.
  Bacteria can easily build up in the bottom of the
  holder and spread to our brushes, so its a good
  idea to rinse it out with disinfectant at least
  once a week.

5

• Underneath sofa cushions
• The sofa itself may appear to be clean, but what
  about what might be lurking underneath the
  cushions? Crumbs, dust, general debris and even
  coins are often found hiding there, and theres
  nothing worse than reaching for the remote
  control between the cracks and pulling out a
  handful of questionable debris!

• The remote control(s)
• Talking of remote controls, its easy to forget
  just how often we touch them, and not always with
  clean hands. There will be many bacteria found on
  the average remote control, but if you use a few
  q tips dipped in a disinfectant solution, you can
  really get in between all the buttons and
  eliminate any nasty germs.
• Under larger pieces of furniture
• There will almost certainly be dust underneath
  large items of furniture that arent moved
  regularly, and as with other places that gather
  dust, the more frequently

7

• you clean them, the less hard work it is each
  time.
• The shower curtain
• Showers are by their very nature damp places, and
  we all know that bacteria love to breed in such
  environments, so try to clean your shower curtain
  regularly with an antibacterial solution, or
  depending on what material its made from, you
  could pop it in the laundry machine with a mild
  detergent.

8

• Behind the toilet
• Keeping with the bathroom theme, most of us
  maintain a certain standard of hygiene when it
  comes to the toilet, if we dont do anything
  else, but we usually forget to extend our
  cleaning routine to the back of the toilet, where
  dust, grime and germs will almost certainly be
  hiding. Cleaning it every time you clean the rest
  of the toilet will prevent germs and dirt from
  building up there.

• Telephone buttons
• In much the same way as the buttons on remote
  controls get grubby, the buttons on our
  telephones are real hubs for germs. These can
  also be cleaned by using a few q tips dipped in
  antibacterial solution to get in and around the
  buttons and the mouthpiece.
• Cutting boards
• Depending on the type of chopping/cutting board
  that you use, leftover food and germs can quickly
  build up on the surface, so regularly soaking
  them in hot water

• with an antibacterial solution, will help to
  eliminate nasty food related bugs that can build
  up.
• Inside the dishwasher and laundry machine
• These items are great at cleaning our dirty
  dishes and laundry, but we often neglect to clean
  the inside of the machines themselves. With both
  machines, running a hot bleach wash should
  eliminate all germs and bacteria and help them to
  function properly and hygienically.
