Your bedroom may look visibly clean at a glance, but is it truly spotless? Chances are that there are some areas of the bedroom that you are not cleaning.
Hard to reach or less obvious places are often overlooked, which can lead to a build up of dirt, grime and germs. Read on to discover some of the most easy to miss places in your bedroom to ensure you are being as thorough in your cleaning as possible.
Under the bed and furniture
You will be surprised at how much dust accumulates under furniture. Vacuum or dust the floor underneath your beds and other furniture that is raised off the floor. Then also take a look at the undersides of the bed and furniture and give these a clean.
On top of tall furniture
Get on a step ladder or stool to check the top of your wardrobes, bookcases, and other tall furniture and give them a good clean. Also look up at the tops of light fixtures, door architraves, and picture frames, and keep them clean, as these can also collect a lot of dust.
Walls and doors
You may think that dust will only settle on horizontal surfaces but it can in fact cling to vertical surfaces, too. Dust your walls and doors from top to bottom, then clean away any marks.
The corners of the room, and the areas around the light switches, sockets, and door handles, are typically the dirtiest areas.
Handles, switches and remotes
The things you touch or handle every day, including any drawer or door handles or knobs, light switches and remotes, should be cleaned at least once per week in order to prevent a build up of bacteria and dirt.
Skirting boards
Don’t forget your skirting boards. These are often overlooked as they are low down, which means they tend to gather a lot of dust and can get quite dirty. You may need to use a damp cloth or a brush attachment on your vacuum if there is a lot of build up.
Curtains and blinds
Curtains and blinds collect dust and mildew, so it is important that these are also cleaned. Some fabric curtains can be machine washed, whereas others may need to be dry cleaned. Blinds can usually be dusted and wiped down with a damp cloth.
