7 Dirty Places You Forget To Clean In Your Home (But You Need To)

We all do a daily or weekly clean-up, but sometimes there are places you forget to clean in your home for a while.

Since starting to declutter my apartment little by little, a thought came into my mind.

There are so many “dark corners” in a home that rarely get cleaned. Many times they are overseen and don’t cross our minds daily or even weekly.

Only once you are moving or changing furniture out do you notice these corners.

So I decided to make a list to remind you to check up on these areas once in a while to always keep your home clean and refreshed!

I hope it helps you out as much as it did me.

This post is all about the places you forget to clean in your home!

things you forget to clean

1) Shoe Closet

A shoe closet gets filthy quickly with dirt and dust. A lot of times we just place our shoes on the shelf and don’t look back. Take a look and wipe those shelves clean!

2) Baseboards

Baseboards tend to collect dust fast! Don’t forget to get them the next time you are mopping the floors! Washing them will make them shine!

3) Inside Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets get overlooked often since they are always filled with dishes and other kitchen items! Emptying them out once in a while to wipe them down is a must!

4) Washer

Your washer washes the clothes but did you know the washer needs a wash too? Gunk can gather inside the washer not letting it work to its full potential. Make sure you run it through a self-wash cycle often enough so that doesn’t happen!

5) Pantry Shelves

The pantry holds food items 24/7 and rarely is empty. This is why it’s a good idea to empty it out every so often and wipe the shelves so everything stays fresh and clean!

6) Behind The Stove

Oh boy! This one is a big one! When was the last time you cleaned your stove? I know it’s been a while since I did! It’s definitely not a weekly chore but maybe once everywhere 3 months will do the job! (it can get really bad behind it!)

7) Behind The Fridge

This goes hand in hand with cleaning behind the stove! Now of course this is bigger than the stove but dust gathers everywhere and this needs to be done! Just like the stove, every 3 months should be exactly what you need!
