4. Vents and air filters
If your house has a heating system and a cooling system, be sure that the ductwork is not missing. The ductwork has to connect this whole system to the rooms you have inside your home. After being cleaned, the heated or cooled air leaves through vents and enters the air handling system again.
Also, if there is duckwork, you can find filters. If pollen and other foreign particles aren’t filtered out of the air recirculating in the system, they will just blow back toward the living area. There are many different kinds of filters, starting with cheap mesh to highly costly HEPA filters.
But since they are inside this whole system, air filters have a higher chance of being one of the places you forget to clean.
For maximum effectiveness, the filters need to be cleaned or replaced, regardless of their type. Try to spend some time cleaning the vent grates before you replace the filter. You’ll have fewer particles of dust inside your home, and the air will be more breathable and cleaner.

Very informative 👏
The White House!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The walls especially if you have a ceiling fan. Dust with a swift er dry cloth mop.
I don’t think they’ll ever get around to cleaning that place!
LOL 😆 I agree 200%
I remember when I first got married, 1968, my husband walked in early, military, I was vacuuming with pulling the furniture out of place &he says, honey, why are you moving the furniture just leave that for when I’m off. I laughed hard, because like I said to him, well I really don’t want to wait for the sand dune to come out! We lived in El Paso, Texas – there’s no dirt just gritty sand🤣😂 and we’d be old then!
And let’s put a dictator with 34 felons behind bars!
please
Someone needs attention. TDS is real. Seek help. They have medication for that.
Get a grip and then get a life!
You are ignorant
It’s getting cleaned right now,because nobody cleaned it in 4 years
Yes, clean our White House now!!!!!!
totally uncalled for and has nothing to do with this. Grow up
another butt-hurt loser
Start with your house first!
Lol, rhat was hilarious dry humor I love it! 9
And is what you’re saying not a racist statement after you see all he’s trying to do. All I want EVERYONE to remember is that God has the final say. Remember Pharoah. You especially, be blessed 🙌
We just did.
Totally uncalled for. Grow UP!
Brilliant !!!! Pat on the back!! and soooooo hoping that someone ccan clean it up ….
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.
OH YEAH!!!
The underneath of tables and chairs – and in hospitals and restaurants
Some restaurants they need a whole host of cleaning needs met , yuck , I wont eat at a restaurant if it’s too filthy, look at the windowsills and the backs of chairs I don’t even want to look at the underside of a table and chair can you only imagine the gross stuff that’s under them and we’re sitting within inches of it napkin holders salt and pepper shakers sometimes those things have never been cleaned it looks like and I won’t eat there if it’s that bad .
I’ve gone in places and turn right around and left .
Nobody cleans the top of the doorbell I’m not talking the button you’re pushing it I’m talking about the doorbell cover actually clean that I don’t think I have and I think about it maybe when we first bought the house but you know it’s just not one of them places you think of how often do you touch it never okay.
I made a great discovery a while back, anybody know what takes chocolate ice cream off of fabric ; Peroxide ,if it doesn’t take it all the way off first round , really wet the area good , then use a dry cloth , keep at it till it does 😉 it works great if you catch it before it goes into the washer!
Thanks this is very helpful.
I guess I’m one cleaning maniac, all these places I clean with my regular house chores
Are you for hire?
That is so funny that you said that! I dust behind the TV’s on the walls. I have a TV on my kitchen wall and as you walk in, you are able to see behind the tv.. especially when we position the tv so we can watch TV from the sunroom.
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.
Or, if you’ve lived in a military home

How about the refrigerator door seals ! Military inspection 🤨! Husband : Army 🪖 sniper 123rd
You are absolutely Right..I was a military wife who worked in the mess hall and honey let me tell you. We as civilian kp’s had to pass our parts of the inspections. And the mess Sargent didn’t play. We had to follow his directives as well. I told my grand children that’s why grandma is so anal about cleaning. I learned from the best!
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.
You are so right! 10-20 minutes before it all comes back. Haaaa what a wonderful tea break that is🤗
The handle of the toilet brush, the tap and the door handle of the toilet.
In side of the water tank of your toilet a drop of dawn and a good srub with your toilet brush, even a cup of vinegar can brake some of the grim in side the tank.
Lotta pressure, rise above it. You gotta harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad. Feel it. Its circular. It’s like a carousel. You pay the quarter, get on the horse. It goes up and down, and around, circular, circle, with the music the flow all good things.
I clean every one of those places and more. I don’t think you give most people enough credit.
My house is very clean. I could not relax if it wasn’t
When it comes to cleaning the house, it’s better to avoid the square to-its and get around to it.
Can’t get pages to turn.
Too many scam ads
Waste of time
There wasn’t one place I don’t clean.
omg im emaculate i clean all these areas
I wish I could clean more frequently but difficult due to a physical limitation. Also, I get yelled at when I clean and have to do it after work but before a certain someone gets home.
I clean all those areas I’m my home also everyone says I have OCD but that is the way I was raised to have a clean house and yard.
I did all those and more while I had three Children under four years old. Before the Dr. dismissed me from the hospital (after my break down) he said the children would not remember an immaculate home, but they would remember stories and moments. We started putting a sheet over a card table and napping “in a tent” not putting them in cribs while I cleaned and polished. They are grown up and live in clean, loving homes with children of their own – Who nap in “tents! Memories!!
Most people you pay to clean, don’t even think about this stuff. They come in with their Swiffer annd expect to get paid $70 to dust around things. They don’t even pick things up to clean under them. They are all gypsies who think cleaning is an easy way to make money.
“Very Interesting!”. But I don’t have indoor plants, Real or otherwise, You don’t mention tops and fronts of dresser, or the fronts of picture frames,
The sides of and the floor underneath the oven where gross old bits of food accumulates and should be cleaned away yearly…at least.
I would add doorknobs, drawer pulls and light switches. I try to do these once a month.
They didn’t mention behind the toilet,
Picture frames.
All electronics attract dust.
Lamps and light bulbs get dusty. I broke a bathroom vanity light by cleaning off the dust with a damp paper towel (before microfiber).
How many applications are in each toilet packet ?
I clean that
I need funds, how do we accomplish this
Stop with this next page crap!! Just keep it all on one page!!!
Great tips! Makes you think of some places that can get dirty. Also gives solutions with practical ideas.
