A home is full of small edges and corners where dust collects. When you’ve cleaned from top to bottom, are you sure you haven’t forgotten anything? Here are the most commonly overlooked areas.
When it comes to cleaning, we all have our own little habits. The O2 brand, which connects home cleaning professionals with individuals, provides valuable advice on its site: start by applying household products requiring a break while you start another task, vacuuming for example. If our home has floors: start at the top before gradually going down to finish at the ground.
When the house is clean, you immediately feel better. Conversely, the sight of a sheep can irritate us and make us want to take out our broom straight away. However, there are hidden square meters that you don’t see at first glance and that you really have to inspect by twisting or bending over to clean them. This is why we often forget them, or because they are not part of our weekly cleaning routine. Do you think this is not the case? That your house is scrubbed from top to bottom? But are you sure you haven’t missed anything and have cleaned everywhere, really everywhere? Anna Baraf from @homeset_by_anna listed in a post all the parts of the apartment where we tend not to sweep, by omission.
Come on, it’s the moment of truth, here is Anna Baraf’s list and you will be able to check if you are forgetting any corners… or not! There is the top of the window frame, the VMC as well as the ventilation duct, the folds of the sofa near the armrests or the grooves of the chairs where the crumbs come to lodge. But also the woodwork on the walls and the plinths on the floor, the nooks and crannies near the furniture, under the bed and all the narrow passages like the small space between the microwave and the oven.
To clean these small areas, the thinner crevice nozzle of the vacuum cleaner is necessary, or a brush, or even a cloth soaked in a dusting product, knowing that afterwards, you will necessarily have to pick up what has fallen on the ground.
So, have you ever thought about cleaning all those nooks and crannies that we tend to forget? Or did you discover that you still had work to do? Well, it’s clean!
