5 Spots Everyone Forgets to Clean 🧽✨

We all know the usual cleaning routine—vacuuming, dusting, wiping down counters—but there are a few hidden spots in our homes that often get overlooked. As your trusted real estate resource, I thought I’d share the top 5 places people forget to clean (but definitely should!):

Ceiling Fans & Light Fixtures – Dust loves to settle here and can spread around the room when the fan is on.

Baseboards – These collect dust and scuffs over time, but a quick wipe makes a huge difference.

Behind Appliances – Crumbs, dust, and even pet hair build up behind the stove, fridge, and washer/dryer.

Air Vents & Filters – Keeping these clean helps your HVAC system run smoothly and your air stay fresh.

Cabinet Handles & Doorknobs – High-touch spots that are easy to miss but can hold onto germs and grime.

A little attention to these areas can really freshen up your home—whether you’re living in it, preparing to sell, or just want to keep things in top shape.

If you ever need recommendations for local cleaning services, handymen, or even want advice on getting your home market-ready, I’m always here to help.

All The Best,
