There are certain things in your home that you clean every week, but then there are the items that you always forget to clean! Unfortunately, some of these forgotten items can be the dirtiest things in your home! To ensure that your home is thoroughly clean, you have to take the time to clean these common household items.
Carpets
While vacuuming your carpets once or twice a week helps keep the plushness and freshness of your carpet, your carpet needs to be deep-cleaned to extract all the dust and dirt embedded in the carpet’s fibers. Most carpet manufacturer’s warranty advises that you must have your carpets cleaned once every 12 to 18 months. However, if you have kids or pets, your carpets need to be cleaned more frequently— about twice a year.
Cell Phone and Other Electronic Devices
Did you know that your phone may be the dirtiest item in your home? Make sure to regularly wipe down your phone and other electronic devices with a cleaner wipe!
Ice Cube Tray
If you’re like us, you use an ice cube tray every day to keep your drinks cold and refreshing. But, your ice cube tray gets dirty just like any other handy kitchen tool. You should run your trays through the dishwasher about every month. If you have a silicone tray, clean it with a vinegar and warm water soak.
Shower Curtain
If your shower curtain isn’t washed for a long time, mold and mildew can begin to grow in places where the curtain folds in on itself. We recommend throwing your shower curtain in the washing machine every month or so.
Microwave
The inside of your microwave contains so much grease and oil from the many foods you have heated up over time. Make sure to use soap and water to clean your microwave weekly!
Tile
The tile surfaces in your kitchen or bathroom may appear to stay clean with a simple mopping or scrubbing. However, this method does not get rid of dust and grime that is hidden in your grout and the pores of the tile. The best way to effectively deep-clean your tile is to have an expert clean it with their powerful equipment.
Trash Can
Your trash can inevitably is one of the dirtiest items in your home…I mean, it does hold all of your trash! Every month or so, make sure to wipe down the inside and outside of your trash can to keep it looking and smelling clean. Be sure to use high-quality trash can liners or bags that effectively contain liquids and other materials.
Air Vents
If you take a deeper look at your air vents, you’ll find a lot more dust than you thought was possible. If you don’t want to breathe all that dust in, be sure to give your air vents a good cleaning!
