5. Baseboards and the walls
Both horizontal and vertical walls can collect dust and dirt. You might be surprised to see how thick the dust can get if you open the blinds or curtains and switch on all the lights. There might be even more dust hidden if your wallpaper is textured.
Starting from the highest point of the wall, use a particle-trapping duster to work your way down. Lastly, tidy up any excess dirt or stains that might have accumulated near doorknobs and light switches.
People don’t usually clean the walls and their baseboards, and because of this, they can become some of the places you forget to clean.
Pay particular attention to baseboards as you complete your wall cleaning. Higher-humidity areas such as kitchens and bathrooms will likely require you to use a wet cloth to wipe down the baseboards since humidity has transformed the dust into dirt that sticks to the surface.

The White House!

I don’t think they’ll ever get around to cleaning that place!
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
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?
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.
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.
