The hood, air conditioning and the inside of the battery make a list of places that you should not forget about so that the house is really clean.
1 Above the kitchen cabinets
If your top row of the kitchen set is not installed butt-to-ceiling, dust will collect on its surface, which you are unlikely to be able to wipe every week. During general cleaning, it is also easy to forget to look up and remember that these surfaces need to be cleaned. Write this item down in your cleaning plan and buy a long-handled brush to get rid of dust in hard-to-reach places faster and easier.
2 Between two-level ceilings
Owners of two-level ceilings cannot do without a stepladder, dust inevitably accumulates between the main tier and the decorative panel. Do not forget to wipe it at least once every couple of months. At the same time, while you are upstairs, you can replace the burned-out light bulbs in the spotlights and dust off the chandelier.
3 Extractor hood in the kitchen and bathroom
The hood (both in the kitchen and in the bathroom) actively collects dust and dirt, which causes the filters to clog over time, and the equipment begins to work less efficiently. Do not bypass the hood during large-scale cleaning once a month: wipe the housing, take out filters and wash them or replace them if they are already unusable, according to the instructions.
4 Air conditioning
The air conditioner accumulates dirt and dust both on the surface and inside, in the filter. If you use the appliance only in summer, follow this cleaning schedule: during the warm season, while it is in use, clean the filter every month, and then clean at the beginning and end of the cold season, when the air conditioner remains off. If it works all year round, you need to clean it regularly.
5 Inside the battery
Central heating batteries are polluted not only outside, but also inside. It's easier to clean them than it seems:
If this method did not work, you can rinse the battery with warm soapy water by putting a basin under the radiator where the liquid will drain.
6 Switches and door handles
Switches and door handles are always visible, but paradoxically remain unnoticed during cleaning. But these are some of the dirtiest surfaces in the house that we constantly touch with our hands. It is advisable to wipe the knobs and switches at least once a week: to do this, you can use a regular cloth moistened with window cleaner. If you forget about them, then be sure to add the appropriate item to the general cleaning checklist.
7 Keyboard and mouse
The keyboard and computer mouse come into contact with hands every day, collect dust, germs and small debris. Do not bypass your desktop side during the harvest. Use a special spray and a microfiber cloth for disinfection, which will not harm the equipment. At the same time, you can clean your computer screen and mobile phone, if you haven't done it for a long time.
8 Shower watering can
The shower watering can is also often deprived of attention during cleaning, but scale forms on its surface, which is harmful to health and can lead to breakdown of plumbing. To clean it, stock up on ordinary vinegar from the grocery store before cleaning and soak the scale in it for a couple of hours. Then it will only be necessary to drain the vinegar and rinse the clean surface with water to get rid of the smell.
