I’m a cleaner and there’s 4 spots even I miss when getting homes spick & span… your remote is a germ-magnet for starters
CLEANING your home can be a bit of a process, and doing the entire thing in one go is basically impossible.
But, if you’re going to do it, it’s worth doing properly – that’s why one professional cleaner shared the spots even she misses sometimes.
Anna Louise shared the four places that are easy to forget – so when was the last time you gave them a once over?
According to the pro, the first place you should definitely be cleaning but not might be are your doorhandles.
Think about it – people are touching them constantly throughout the day, so it’s a good idea to wipe with a microfibre cloth and anti bacterial spray every so often.
Removes are also a major germ-magnet, according to Anna.
You can also use a microfibre cloth to wipe them down, just don’t get them wet because they could stop working.
Light switches need a good clean every now and then too – they’re easy to miss, since they might look clean, but who knows how dirty they could really be.
You don’t have to clean them every day, but weekly should keep any nasty germs from spreading in your home.
Finally, the cleaning whizz said she often forgets to clean her walls, which can cling on to dust and grime.
“I wipe them over with warm water and dish soap really gently,” Anna said.
Depending on the type of paint or wallpaper on your walls, getting them wet could be a bad idea though, so make sure you double check first.
Other cleaning fans admitted they forget about the same spots too.
One said: “I always forget about my walls, and ceilings too!”
Another said: “I use a rag to clean the spots that look weird on my walls, don’t wash the whole thing.”
“Yes all of these, and my windowsills always get so dusty,” someone else commented.
