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 donβt 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!

The walls especially if you have a ceiling fan. Dust with a swift er dry cloth mop.
I donβt think theyβll ever get around to cleaning that place!
And let’s put a dictator with 34 felons behind bars!
Start with your house first!
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?
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
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.
The handle of the toilet brush, the tap and the door handle of the toilet.
Lotta pressure, rise above it. You gotta harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad. Feel it. Its circular. Itβs 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.
There wasn’t one place I don’t clean.
omg im emaculate i clean all these areas
