Some points of the house always seem in order, but they hide dirty than you think. Discovering these invisible corners can really make the difference for a deeper and more aware cleaning.
Behind a floor that shines or a cuisine that smells of lemon can conceal not very evident details, but full of dust, germs and invisible residues. We tend to underestimate what is not seen, or that it is taken for granted, but the truth is that some surfaces, as far as they seem in place, are among the most insidious. Just a little oblique natural light or a change of perspective to discover hidden dust, forgotten footprints or that halo that was not previously noticed.
Aggressive detergents or infinite cleaning sessions are not needed. Often it is enough to change perspective and pay attention to those details that usually ignore. Before thinking that the house is really clean, it is worth making a small check. The surprise is around the corner, indeed: behind the battiscopa.
Vetri and mirrors: points of the house that seem clean
Among the points that most easily deceive there are just glass and mirrors. They appear bright at first sight, especially when the sun is high or the lights are well positioned. But it is sufficient to change angle to note halos, footprints or fine dust that deposits itself in an almost invisible way. The biggest problem? We tend to think that it is enough a perfumed spray blow and a fast pass with absorbent paper. In reality, in doing so, there is a risk of creating a sticky patina that attracts even more dirty. Better prefer microfibre clothes and a mix of hot water and vinegaravoiding too aggressive detergents.
And if the bathroom mirror always seems clean, it is only because humidity and steam tend to disguise the signs. But as soon as the right light strikes him, here are the signs of time and limestone.
Battiscopa, corners and cracks: the neglected points

The same goes for the corners of the roomsespecially behind doors, furniture or under the radiators. Apparently, everything seems in place. But just pass a finger or a thin broom to discover a microcosm of hair, hair and debris.
Any simple tricks to keep them under control?

Handles, remote controls and switches: the elements to be sanitized
These are the real invisible outbreaks. Objects that are used every day, several times a day, but which are rarely cleaned with care.
The doors handlesi remote controlsThe light switches: they constantly get dirty with not always clean hands, and they are fertile ground for bacteria and germs. Even if they seem intact to the eye, just a little disinfectant and a cloth to see how much dirty accumulates.

Fabrics and curtains: they seem clean, but retain everything
Curtains, cushions, copridivans, but also rugs. They seem clean, especially if light color or fantasy. But they are real sponges of dust and acari.
The problem is that they rarely wash how much should. We tend to slam them once in a while, but this is not enough. For example:
- The curtains they should be washed every 2-3 months
- I decorative cushions At least once a month
- I rugs they should be vacated several times a week and washed at least once a year
The air of the house is also affected: a fabric impregnated with dust can worsen the quality of the air, especially in the presence of allergic subjects.
Keeping the house really clean does not mean spending hours to sanitize everything, but learn to look beyond what appears. Sometimes it is enough to observe with more attention or change angle to discover what was believed perfect and which, on the other hand, hides small daily pitfalls.
