Spring and new air affairs in the house? Of course, but every year we always tend to forget the same things. Those invisible angolins and unsuspected objects that collect dust, dirt and … some surprises.
When it comes to spring cleaningoften focus on windows, wardrobes, floors. The best products are pulled out, everything opens to let the light enter, curtains and sheets change. Yet, a more careful look is enough to realize that certain details always escape. And some, once discovered, make you exclaim: “But have I really never cleaned it?”.
It is believed that it is enough for a few hours and one playlist energica To solve everything, but then they pop out: the 7 forgotten points, those that not even the most attentive eye known immediately. Curious to know if you neglect them too?
Electric sockets and switches: forgotten par excellence
Despite being touched every day, the electrical outlets they switches They are among the less clean elements of the house. Maybe because they seem too small to be dirty or maybe because they get used to their color … slightly swallowed.
Yet, there are fingering, dust and germs there. And not only that: it often happens that the frames of the switches collect small cobwebs or detergent residues after cleaning the walls. A slightly moistened microfiber cloth (attention, no direct liquids!) And you’re done. Also applies to prese USB and wall chargers: often dusty and neglected.
The 7 things you always forget to clean in spring
Some areas seem to be made on purpose to be ignored. Maybe because I’m at the top, or too low, or they simply do not come to mind. But here is the list of the most common “forgetfulness”:
- Above the wall units: that sticky layer of dust and fat is created without mercy. Not seeing it does not mean that it is not there.
- Battiscopa: Always there, on the edge of the floor, but rarely touched by a cloth.
- Shower curtains: It is true that they are wet every day, but humidity promotes invisible molds.
- Remote controls: used by everyone, clean by anyone. And no, the wipes are not enough.
- Plants and lamps from the ground: dust loves climbing up to the lampshade.
- Conditioner fans and filters: Spring is the perfect time to prepare them for summer.
- Furniture clogs: those of the kitchen and the bathroom, where crumbs and hair accumulate.
Thinking about it now means not having to think in a month, when the heat will make everything more tiring.
Decorative objects also need attention
Vases, frames, ornaments: make the environment more personal, but often they are not thoroughly cleaned. The problem is not only the visible dust, but also the one that insinuates itself into the cracks, in the reliefs, between one decoration and the other.
And what about the fake plants? Beautiful, of course, but attract an almost sticky type of dust, difficult to remove with a simple duster. A solution is to put them in the shower and pass them with warm water and neutral soap, letting them dry in the air.
Eye also at handles Of the furniture: always touched, never clean carefully. The result? A thin patina of dirt difficult to notice, but very easy to remove with a little delicate detergent.
Cleaning these things is a bit like putting the right accessories at an outfit: the perception of the environment completely changes.
It is not just cleaning, it is feeling renewed
The truth is that certain things are seen only later. When the environment changes energy, when the air seems lighter and the visual chaos It subsides. It is interesting to note that some details, apparently insignificant, can influence the perception of the house so much.
And then, it is worth taking a moment more, lift that frame, look behind the microwave, pass the finger on the top of the door. Because the Spring cleaning It is also an opportunity to find some balance, between visible order and hidden harmony.
And who knows, maybe in the middle of the dust it is also discovered a forgotten object that makes a memory come back, a smile or simply the desire to fix a corner again.
