Cleaning The Most Forgotten Places In Your Home

• In every home, no matter how clean its
  inhabitants are, there will be places that get
  forgotten about when it comes to cleaning. Check
  out the top ten most forgotten places to clean in
  your home
• Windows
• You can be certain to find that either the
  windows themselves are grimy, or the drapes,
  shades and blinds will be. Some people tend to
  forget about their windows and dont include them
  in their cleaning routine, but as they are often
  the focal point of a room, they should be cleaned
  along with everything else.

• Bags and purses
• Even if you empty out your purses and handbags
  regularly to clean the interiors, have you
  thought about the germs that could be lingering
  on the outside? Wipe down bags and purses with a
  damp cloth soaked in a bacteria-busting solution.
• Cleaning supplies
• Every item that you use to help you clean your
  home, such as vacuum cleaner or mop, will itself
  get grubby and could be playing host to millions
  of germs and bacteria if not cleaned just as
  often as you clean your home.

• Home appliances
• As with the supplies and tools that you use to
  clean your home with, larger items such as
  dishwashers and washing machines can be breeding
  grounds for deadly bacteria. Simply wipe them
  down at least once a week with an anti-bacterial
  solution.
• The bath mat
• You and the other inhabitants of your household
  stand on this item before you jump in the bath or
  shower, meaning that millions of pesky microbes
  could become trapped in it over time. Throw the
  bath mat into the laundry at least once a week to
  prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for
  germs.

• House plants
• Many people dont realise that their houseplants
  can become magnets for germs, but wiping the
  leaves with warm water or even washing smaller
  plants under the faucet, is all it takes to keep
  them clean and free of germs.
• Beneath rugs
• Dust and dirt can easily become trapped beneath
  rugs, so when vacuuming or mopping your floors,
  always take the rugs up, beat them outside to
  eliminate dirt and grime, and wash under them
  thoroughly. Having them professionally laundered
  every 6 months is a good idea, too.

• Toothbrush holders
• Little do most of us realise, but toothbrush
  holders are among the top 3 places to find germs
  and bacteria in the home. As they tend to be warm
  and damp, they quickly attract mold spores, and
  washing them regularly in warm, soapy water is
  the only solution.
• Remote controls
• These items are touched by many pairs of hands on
  a regular basis, yet rarely do we ever think to
  clean them. Of course, you must go careful not to
  allow moisture into the buttons, but a
  disinfectant wipe should be suitable to clean
  them with.

• Trash cans
• Clean all trash cans within the home at least
  once week to prevent bad smells and the risk of
  germs. Often, the garbage bag will leak, or well
  miss the bag when throwing garbage in, and food
  and other smelly items can get caught between the
  bag and the can.
• Worried about all the different places in your
  home that may be attracting germs and bacteria?
  Why not call in the professionals and have them
  come in and blitz your home from top to bottom,
  minimising the risk to your health.
