You may think you are a clean person but the truth of that will be shown if you take some tests. All you need to do is go to the following 11 cleaning hotspots to find out. Follow the simple directions that are listed below and then you will know how clean you are or are not. Let’s go.
Mirrors And Photo Frames
The easy trick is by putting your finger over the frames or mirrors in your home. The test is to see how much dust your finger wipes off from them. If there is a lot of dust, then you have a lot more cleaning to do as you are forgetting to clean those areas – and likely other areas as well.
Stair Rail
When you put your hand over your stair rail, how does it feel? Does feel sticky? Does it feel tacky? Those are signs that it is full of germs and you need to wipe down that area when you do your house cleaning as well.
Sink And Shower
Your sink and shower may appear to be clean but are they really? The only way you will know is if you put your hands over the tiles or the sink. If they are smooth and shiny, then they are clean. But if they are grimy and appear to be unclean, then they need extra cleaning. You can take a rough side of a sponge and put some dish soap to clean off the grime and dirt from the tiles or the sink to clean it.
Lightbulbs
Are your lightbulbs dusty? Make sure the light is switched off and rub your finger on it. If it is full of dust, then they are an area of your home that you are forgetting to clean. Take a dryer sheet and rub the lightbulbs off and that will remove the dust.
Doorknobs
Are your doorknobs grimy and sticky? Then that means they are not clean. Take a cloth and put some multipurpose cleaner on it to wipe it down. The same applies to appliance and light switches as well.
Cabinets And Cupboards In The Kitchen
Are your cabinets and cupboards clean? You may think they are but if you look carefully and find that there are food stains on it, then you will see they are not. You will need to find time to do a deep clean for those areas by using cloth, hot water, and soap.
Look For Cobwebs
If you look at your ceiling and corners the windows and of each room, are there cobwebs? If so, then you have more cleaning to do. All you need to do is take a feather and use it to ruin the cobwebs and they are gone.
Grout
The grout in between your tiles are supposed to be white but if they are grey and black, then that means they are dirty. There are different types of grout cleaners you can get, or even get a profession in to clean them up.
Bins
Your bins could be hosting too many types of bacteria. Look at them to see if there are stains on the bottom. If there are, then you likely have a bacterial infestation. You will want to keep disinfecting them to keep them clean.
Toilet
When was the last time you cleaned your toilet? If you can’t remember, then it is time to use the toilet cleaner and clean it up. You may not notice anything in your toilet but looks can be deceiving. An unclean toilet can look clean but be a host to too many bacteria that you would not want to know about.
Windows
Are your windows clean? If they are clean on the inside but dirty and grimy on the outside from rain and other elements due to weather, then you will want to get them cleaned up with window cleaner. If your windows are dirty on the inside such as being filled with dust, it will block light coming in. Again, use window cleaner for that.
After going through your home and finding these hotspots to see if you are clean, then you will want to make a habit of it to make sure you stay as clean as you can.
