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.

  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.

    1. 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.

  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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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
