People usually focus on floors, countertops and bathrooms when cleaning a house. They rarely notice the home cleaning tasks above and around them that also need cleaning.
Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans attract dust which collects on the blades. Deep cleaning a house properly includes cleaning ceiling fan blades. Clean blades can make a fan look like new.
Curtains
A well maintained interior includes vacuuming curtains and drapes regularly. Curtains and drapes accumulate dust, pet hair, and even mildew over time. Every time you open and close dusty drapes, the debris goes airborne and lands on your floors and furnishings. Make regular cleaning and dusting of drapes part of your home maintenance schedule.
Dryer Vents
Check your dryer vent regularly to prevent dangerous lint build-up. Pictured here is a before and after photo of a dirty and clean clean dryer vent. Keeping your dryer vent clean also reduces drying times and saves money on utility bills.
Microwave
Many homeowners forget to clean inside their microwave. Food and sauces often spatter inside the microwave and leave a mess that is difficult to clean. Prevent unsightly and hard to remove food build-up by regularly checking and wiping down microwave surfaces.
Under the Washing Machine
Pictured here is the dust and debris that accumulated under the washing machine and dryer. To have a sparkling clean home, it is important to clean under and around appliances regularly.
Outflow Line
That funny smell in your laundry room could be a dirty drain hose. Drain hoses need to be cleaned regularly. Accumulated gunk sticks to the corrugated tubing and gives off an unpleasant odor.
Clean Switch Plates
Clean switch plates are one of many small details that keep a house looking sharp. Keep them clean and make sure the screws are aligned properly on the north/south axis.
Cleaning your switch plates is an essential part of maintaining an enviable home. They are often overlooked when cleaning, but they do accumulate dirt, dust, and grime over time, which detracts from the appearance of a home.
Switch plates located in high-traffic areas are more susceptible to accumulating dirt and grime. To maintain their appearance and functionality, regular cleaning is necessary.
Dirty Switch Plates
Grimy switch plates make a house look dirty. Who would want to touch this switch plate to turn on the light? When your switch plates get dirty, remove them, wash them, dry them, and put them back. Guests judge you by the cleanliness of your house.
Screw Uniformity
Make sure plate screws match, are uniform in color and finish, and are all aligned in the same direction. Additionally, missing or different colored screws make your light switches look run down and dirty. Keep screws matched and clean to upgrade the look and feel of your home. Further, this economical house upgrade only costs .26 cents per screw.
