How To Avoid Missing Important Areas When Performing A Deep Cleaning Of Your Home

Deep cleaning your home can be a challenging and time-consuming task. You may think you have cleaned every inch of your home, but there may be some areas you need to look into or notice. These areas can accumulate dust, dirt, grease, and bacteria over time, affecting the quality of your indoor air and the appearance of your home.

Tops of Cabinets and Appliances 

Make sure to clean the tops of cabinets and appliances. You will need a step ladder, a microfiber cloth, and a multipurpose cleaner to clean them effectively. Spray the cleaner on the fabric and wipe the tops of the cabinets and appliances, making sure to reach the corners and edges. 

Inside the Oven and Microwave

Don't neglect the inside of the oven and microwave. These appliances can get very dirty from spills, splatters, and food residue, which can cause unpleasant odors and affect their performance. Grab a sponge, a bowl of water, some baking soda, and some vinegar. For the oven, sprinkle some baking soda on the bottom and sides of the range and spray some vinegar on top.

The mixture will start to fizz and loosen the baked-on grease and food. Let it sit, and then wipe it off with a sponge. Fill a bowl with water for the microwave and add some vinegar and lemon juice. Microwave the bowl for a few minutes. The steam softens the stains inside the microwave. Wipe it with a sponge.

The Baseboards

When deep cleaning your home, pay attention to the baseboards. Over time, these areas can collect dust, pet hair, and other debris. Get your vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool attachment, a cloth, and warm, soapy water to clean them effectively.

First, use the vacuum cleaner to suck up the loose dust from the baseboards and corners. Then, dip the cloth in the soapy water and wring it out. Wipe the baseboards and corners with the fabric, getting into the cracks and crevices. 

The Tops of Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures

Remember the ceiling fans and light fixtures. These areas can accumulate a lot of dust. You will need a step ladder, an old T-shirt, and some all-purpose cleaner to clean them properly. Spray some cleaner on the T-shirt and slip it over one blade or fixture at a time. 

Inside the Drawers and Cabinets

These areas can get messy from storing various items over time, making it hard to find what you need. To clean them effectively, you must empty them out thoroughly first. Then, grab a cloth to wipe any dust inside them. You may also want to use a disinfectant spray to sanitize them if they have been exposed to food or liquids. 

How to Make Sure Your Home Is Cleaned Thoroughly

It's hard to clean every aspect of your home without the right expertise and experience. If you hire a team to deep clean your home, they'll ensure that every inch of your house is cleaned from top to bottom.
