2. Indoor plants

One of the places you forget to clean is probably all of your precious ornamental plants. Yes, they are nice and give your home a unique feeling, but you should know that they also need to be cleaned from time to time.

You’d be surprised by how much dust these plants can accumulate. And now we are not only talking about real plants; artificial ones made from silk can also become incredibly dusty.

A brief pass under the shower will help the majority of living plants. In case the plant is too big and you can’t move it around, try to wipe off each leaf with a microfiber towel or disposable duster.

Silk plants may be cleaned outside, and the dust can be easily removed with a hairdryer set on a cool. Put a paper bag full of salt or baking soda on each stem of the silk plants to make them look more vibrant.

Shake the bag well; most of the dirt will stay in the mixture of baking soda or salt. Finish this by using a cold hair dryer to dust off any remaining residue. Your plants will look like new!

  1. There is a 7th place you didn’t mention:
    People who has 65 inches plasma/flat screen TV hooked up in the wall.
    Nobody never knew how much dust stick to the back of that TV because nobody ever go up and look….
    Or they can’t.

  2. If you have ever been in the military and did boot camp you learn to clean everything, including the inside of the top of a tube of toothpaste. I know. My area was always ready for a white glove inspection. I even washed my shoe strings.

  3. I may not always clean those places, but its not that I forgot. Those are more spring cleaning jobs I forget about the front of the toilet bowl to the floor. Under the kitchen sink and the garbage disposal. The upstairs guest bathroom that isnt used often. Hairbrushes and curling irons. Clean hair out of drains. (First time I did that in my new house, I thought it was a mouse! Dogs paws especially if winter and walks are salted. Window sills between window and screens. Inside of enclosed gas fireplace. (Was recommended every 4 yrs by company) I used to laugh at my Mom when I saw cobb webs hanging in the corner of the ceiling. Now that Im 72, its not so funny anymore. So much work, but so nice those 10 minutes a year its all done.
