You’ve probably got your cleaning routine down to a fine art, but have you missed a spot?
You aren’t alone. Below is a list of common items people often overlook when cleaning their home.
Throw blankets
They are our saving grace during the cooler months and the perfect embellishment for your couch or bed the rest of the year, but when was the last time you washed your throw blankets? The same can be said for throw pillows.
Anything above your line of sight
If you can’t see it, does the dirt and dust even exist? We’re afraid it does. Take some time to look up and give your light fittings, ceiling fans and tops of shelves a good clean.
Remote controls
The remote isn’t safe from anyone or anything, including germs. If you think about how often you and the rest of your family touch the remote control you might want to add it to the weekly cleaning list.
Inside the bin
We don’t have to tell you twice how gross the bin is. But once the bin liner is in, it’s easy to forget what’s lurking underneath. Clean it.
Toothbrush holder
A 2011 study found the toothbrush holder was the third most bacteria ridden item in your home, so make sure you’re cleaning this regularly.
