6 Places That We Forget To Clean At Home

It is extremely important to thoroughly clean hidden or hidden areas to make sure your home is clean and healthy. Very often we are not aware that we live next to harmful substances or in an environment that can endanger the health of people living in a polluted house. A very common pathology caused by a lack of hygiene is allergy.

Every housewife goes to great lengths to clean the house and leave it as impeccable as possible and free from germs. However, there are places that are simply not taken into account when cleaning.

Not only do these areas remain dirty, they can also contaminate the entire home. Very often it is not known where an odor is coming from. Thorough cleaning prevents this from happening.

Places invisible to the eye – thorough cleaning is difficult, but it’s really worth it!

1. Top surface of the refrigerator and cabinets

The top of the cabinets, if they do not reach the ceiling, will always accumulate dust and dirt. This is a place where access is difficult, so pay special attention and clean it at least twice a year.

This also includes the top of the refrigerator where cooking fat can accumulate.

How to ensure that these batches are thoroughly cleaned:

• Just grab a bucket.
• Pour in clean water (5 liters)
• Add half a glass of ammonia.
• Dampen the cloth in a bucket.
• Finally, clean all surfaces with this cloth.

2. Rubbish bin and places nearby

The garbage can is usually located inside the cupboard. It is important to clean both the basket and the surrounding area every 2 weeks. Very often, waste falls out of the bin and decomposes, causing contamination and an unpleasant smell.

How to ensure that these batches are thoroughly cleaned:

• Dampen a clean cloth with water and disinfectant.
• Then clean all surfaces of the cabinet and the basket with a cloth.
• Rinse the basket with water.
• Finally, let it dry.

3. Clean the broom

How to ensure a thorough cleaning of the broom and brushes:

• It is enough to pour 4 liters of clean water into a bucket.
• Add some detergent.
• Dip the broom and clean it thoroughly.
• Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Leave it to dry.

4. Fans and ceiling lamps

The top of the lamps and the blades of the ceiling fans collect dust and dirt that is not normally visible. You must avoid the accumulated dirt spreading through the air and contaminating the surroundings.

You will need a ladder for cleaning, which is essential to safely reach high parts.

How to ensure that these devices are thoroughly cleaned:

• First, remove any dust on the surface with the dust plume.

• Then moisten the cloth with water and detergent and wash the entire lamp or fan with it.

5. Pillows and mattress

Even if you use bedding to protect them from dirt, both the mattress and pillows should be cleaned from time to time. They contain the remains of dead cells, sweat and earth from the environment.

By spending so many hours sleeping on them, we leave behind moisture, which is an ideal condition for the growth of various germs. Cleaning them thoroughly is very simple, if you follow these tips:

How to ensure a thorough cleaning of the mattress and pillows:

• First, remove the sheets.
• Then take a glass of baking soda (200 grams).
• Using a strainer, spread the baking soda over the entire surface of the mattress and pillows.

• Leave for 3 hours.
• Finally, clean it thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner. Baking soda will absorb any dirt.

6. The eco-friendly bags you use to go shopping

These types of bags, usually made of fabric, are fantastic to care for the environment and can hold a lot of products. The problem is that very often the store will spill some type of liquid or substance that remains at the bottom of the bag.

We recommend cleaning them thoroughly, as these products break down easily and can contaminate new purchases you just made at the grocery store, for example.

How to ensure a thorough cleaning of the bag:

• Remove all debris and large rubbish you find in the bag.
• Then put the bag in the washing machine with neutral soap and wash it.
• Finally, let it dry and use again.
