Thought it might be interesting to chat among ourselves about the topic of forgotten cleaning tasks. You know the ones, those little oddball things that suddenly jump out at you and scream "Why haven't you noticed me? Why haven't you cleaned me? What were you thinking!!??!!"
Often I realize these things because I notice them when visiting someone else's home. Sometimes it's hard to see your own spaces with fresh eyes and notice the things that have gotten overlooked!
Another thing I've found is cleaning during the day with bright sunlight streaming in can really shed light on things that you just don't see when cleaning in the evening by artificial light.
No judgement here, friends! We all have different comfort levels when it comes to cleaning! This is just a fun exercise for those of us that would enjoy it!
Bathrooms:
- Behind the sink faucet (s)...I can't tell you how many bathrooms I've seen where this area just seems to have been missed. It's a pain to get back there and get it wiped down but it really does make a big difference when it's done!
- Toilet bowl holder/Plunger Holder...these often sit on the floor near the commode and over time if nothing else they get really dusty. Usually they are dirtier than that! Taking the time to clean at least the outside of these items makes a big difference!
- Toilet Paper Holder...over time the lint from the TP rolls can really build up on these...it's more noticeable with darker finishes but it only takes seconds to give it a quick dusting!
Will share more thoughts later! Just wanted to get the conversation started!
