Do you know how easily your shower curtain becomes a favorite gathering place for germs? When was the last time you thoroughly cleaned your keyboard, or behind your washing machine?

Most people will scrub their toilets and floors when performing a quick cleaning session, while casually forgetting to clean some of the less obvious areas and things that require attention as well.
Keeping a spotless home can be quite challenging, what with numerous work and family-related commitments and other engagements competing for your time. Luckily, house cleaning services in Magnolia present a great solution for when you’re too busy, or you simply don’t want to clean.
The bar has been raised these days when it comes to hygiene in households and indoors in general. Keeping dust and dirt at bay becomes a priority, since not only do they impact indoor air quality and the overall cleanliness of your home, but they’re also often the cause of many illnesses. To make sure you don’t miss a step, start by asking:
What are some common places you forget to clean?
Regardless of all the careful planning (extensive cleaning checklists included), everyone forgets to clean certain items and house areas sometimes. This is especially true when you don’t have much time on your hands.
Little things that manage to dodge the broom
Here’s what you’re probably forgetting to clean:
- Shower curtain.
Mildew stains and soap scum are easy to remove, and once you wash your shower curtain, you’ll immediately notice the difference in your bathroom. Washing your shower curtain is especially important if you share the bathroom with other people. While you’re at it, you should make sure your shower head is clean too.
- Sink trap.
Sure, we all know that a sink belongs to the germiest places in any household, but were you aware of the possible consequences of neglecting your sink trap? Let’s just say you don’t want to know about bacteria that collect and thrive in those murky waters.
- Toys.
Did you know that mold was rather fond of your child’s rubber ducky? It’s probably for the best if they don’t get too friendly. Remember to wash the plushies, and clean the plastic toys thoroughly. Here’s an idea: clean together with your kid, making a game out of it.
- Keyboards.
Clean a keyboard in two steps: first shake it upside-down, then wipe it clean using baby wipes. For more detailed cleaning there’s also a keyboard gel, and a tiny vacuum cleaner you can purchase to really get between those keys, eliminating any lingering snacks and bacteria.
- Reusable grocery bags.
Reusable grocery bags. Did you know that many people almost never think of washing their grocery bags? These usually get exposed to contaminated surfaces at the store, in your car, or at home, so they need to be washed, just like your clothes.
How do you clean hard to reach places?
Hard to reach places are tricky to clean, but here’s the tea: it can easily be done with the right tools.
The first thing you’ll need (before marching into battle against dirt that’s slightly out of reach) is a thin microfiber duster which can slide underneath appliances. For this purpose, you can also try making your own cleaning tool. Simply wrap microfiber around the end of a broom or yardstick, and tie it so it doesn’t fall off once you start cleaning.
For best results apply cleaning hacks and tools depending on what you want to clean. A plain sock dipped in vinegar and water can do wonders for your blinds when used as a glove, so it’s always a good idea to explore and learn new tricks.
