The "Hidden" Dirt: 3 Spots Most Homeowners Forget to Clean
Here are three "hidden" dirty spots we always tackle:
Light Switches & Door Knobs: Think about how many times a day these are touched—often with unwashed hands. They are prime vectors for spreading cold and flu viruses through the family.
Baseboards: Dust settles downward. While you might vacuum the carpet, the ledges of your baseboards collect a thick layer of dust and pet dander that can aggravate allergies.
The Top of the Fridge: Out of sight, out of mind? The top of the refrigerator is often coated in a sticky mixture of dust and kitchen grease.
A truly clean home goes beyond the surface. It tackles the hidden corners to ensure your home is healthy, not just tidy.
