7 Surprising Places in the Home You Forget to Clean

7 Surprising Places in the Home You Forget to Clean

We all have our regular cleaning routines—vacuuming the floors, wiping down countertops, and scrubbing the bathroom until it shines. It feels good to keep our living spaces tidy, but there are places in your home that you're probably overlooking.

These forgotten areas may seem insignificant, but they can harbor dust, germs, and grime that accumulate over time, potentially affecting your health and comfort.

Let's shine a light on seven places in your home that often get neglected—and, more importantly, we'll show you exactly how to clean them. With just a little extra effort, you can ensure every corner of your home is as fresh and spotless as the rest. Let's dive in!

1. Luggage

Your luggage goes through a lot—airport floors, car trunks, and hotel rooms. But how often do you think about giving it a proper clean?

How to Clean:

  • Wipe down the exterior with a damp microfiber towel.
  • For fabric interiors, vacuum and spot clean with a mild detergent and a microfiber towel.
  • Let your luggage air dry thoroughly before storing.

2. Door Handles

Door handles are one of the most frequently touched surfaces in your home, making them a prime spot for germs to linger.

How to Clean:

  • Use an all-purpose cleaner with a microfiber towel.
  • Wipe down handles regularly, focusing on high-traffic areas.
  • Don’t forget about less obvious handles, like closet or cabinet doors.

3. Light Switches

Light switches are another high-touch surface that often gets neglected. Think about how many times you turn the lights on and off every day!

How to Clean:

  • Lightly dampen a microfiber towel with an all-purpose cleaner.
  • Wipe down all light switches, paying special attention to corners.
  • Make this a regular part of your weekly cleaning routine.

4. Mattresses

We spend a third of our lives on our mattresses, so keeping them clean is essential for a good night's sleep and overall health.

How to Clean:

  • Strip the bedding and vacuum the entire mattress.
  • Spot clean stains with a mild detergent and water.
  • Sprinkle baking soda, let sit, then vacuum for freshness.
  • Rotate the mattress every few months.

5. Remote Controls

Remote controls are touched constantly, but they're rarely cleaned.

How to Clean:

  • Wipe down with a dampened (not wet) microfiber towel.
  • Use an all-purpose cleaner for a deeper clean by spraying it onto the towel first.
  • Clean remotes weekly, especially in shared spaces.

6. Cleaning Tools

Your cleaning tools work hard to keep your home spotless, but they need some cleaning too! Dustpans, mop frames, broom heads, and vacuums can all harbor dirt and bacteria.

How to Clean:

  • Rinse dustpans and broom heads in soapy water, then air dry.
  • Wipe down mop frames with an all-purpose cleaner.
  • Regularly clean or replace vacuum filters and empty canisters.

7. Under Sofa Cushions

When was the last time you checked under your sofa cushions? Crumbs, coins, and all sorts of small items tend to accumulate there.

How to Clean:

  • Remove cushions and vacuum the area underneath.
  • Wipe down the frame and crevices with a microfiber towel.
  • Repeat monthly to keep your sofa fresh and crumb-free.
