There are a lot of spaces throughout your home that are famous for collecting dust. Fans, tops of cabinets, under beds, behind furniture, on top of your refrigerator – all great big dust collectors!
Cleaning Behind the Toilet
Cleaning your toilet seems like an obvious thing to do when cleaning the bathroom but sometimes the back of the toilet gets forgotten. Start by using a dry stiff brush to remove loose dust, hair and soil (don’t forget the baseboard). The crevice tool of your vacuum is useful to suck away the debris. Then use a soft brush or sponge dipped in warm water and a disinfectant cleaner to wipe down the area including the back of the toilet base. Rinse with a sponge or cloth dipped in plain water and dry with a soft cloth
Cabinet Tops and Tall Furniture
If you have allowed dust and particles of grease to accumulate on kitchen cabinets, use a sturdy step stool and clean with a soft cloth dipped in a solution of two cups warm water, one teaspoon dishwashing liquid. Wipe away the soil and then rinse with a cloth dipped in plain water. Dry with a soft clean cloth.
Ceiling fan
It is definitely one area of your home that collects the most dust. Fans can sometimes be annoying to clean. One of our favorite tricks for cleaning your ceiling fan is to use a pillow case. Place the pillow case over the fan blade and pull the case towards you. The dust will then fall into your pillowcase instead of on your bed. You can then go back over the blades with a cleaning solution if you desire.
