This
interesting article about problem areas that we might not
even notice while cleaning our homes, made me think twice. This is probably
true of most of our houses, that we don’t notice a lot of stuff just by virtue
of seeing things everyday and taking them for granted. Here’s a list of ways in
which we can make those difficult to notice and reach places cleaned more
easily:
Vacuum nozzle: Though most of us have vacuum
cleaners at home, we might not really have explored all the attachments well.
So many places like channels of windows and gaps in the sofas can be cleaned
using the nozzle attachment that helps to reach the gaps very easily.
Toothbrushes: From crevices in vessels that may
have food stuck in them, to joints between tiles, the trusty old toothbrush
comes to the rescue. It is a very handy thing to have around, and since
toothbrushes are always replaced every few months, there will always be a
couple of old ones around without going to much effort.

Baking soda: To keep chimney grills clean, you can
just sprinkle them with baking soda, and pour some hot water over them which
causes most of the oily residue to come out easily. For the remaining dirt,
toothbrushes can be used to get them sparkling clean again.
Steam or hot water: Most stains can be cleaned using just
boiling hot water or steam, without the addition of any chemicals at all. If at
all the stain proves stubborn, easy kitchen items like baking soda or vinegar
are enough to clean nearly all of them. This is why the steam mop is a very
effective appliance for keeping floors clean.
Ear-buds: For areas like switchboards where you
might need delicate cleaning, you can use soap solution or a thinner/nail
polish remover in extreme cases along with an ear-bud for a controlled cleaning operation. Watch out though as
thinner can erase any markings on the switches too.
Hope some of
these tips are useful for your holiday cleaning to make your home ready to
receive friends and family in the new year. Do check out our page for more
