There are objects that always forget to clean, but that can really make a difference at home. Ignoring them not only ruin the aesthetics, but also risks compromising hygiene and well -being.
We often focus on surfaces and floors, but It is the small details that really change the atmosphere of an environment. And then it is not even a matter of time: a few gestures are enough, perhaps made on the fly, to give the house a fresher and more cared air. Sometimes it is thought that they need hours to put everything in order, but just look around with a more careful eye.
Things like a dusty switch, a sticky handle or an greased cloister go unnoticed, but leave a strange impression. Before they escape the mind again, we might as well take advantage of it for a quick check. Maybe it turns out that they are really enough an extra sponge, a damp cloth or two minutes to improve everything. Yes, everything.
Switches and handles: the most touched points that we forget to clean
Often it is believed that the dirty surfaces are the most visible. Actually, light switches e doors handles They are among the receptor’s receptacle receptacles. You continually pass your hands, but how many times are they really clean? A slightly moistened microfiber cloth and a little delicate detergent can be enough. Better to avoid too much water, especially near the electrical parts. And if you have an alcoholic -based sanitizing product, all the better.
The effect is immediate: you immediately notice that the room seems more cared for, even if it is an almost invisible detail. And then, let’s face it, pressing a clean switch is a whole thing else.
Remote controls, mouse and keyboards: invisible enemies
Other than dirty on sight: Here the bacteria lies without being noticed. I remote controls They accumulate dust, crumbs, sweat of the hands … but weeks pass before someone notice it. The same goes for Mouse and keyboardsused every day but clean maybe once a year, if it’s okay.
The next time you pass the cloth on the desk, it is better to stretch your hand also towards these objects:
- Remove the batteries from the remote controls before cleaning them
- Use Cotton Fioc or brush for cracks
- Slightly spray the detergent on a cloth (never directly on objects)
Small gestures, but which make the difference. Especially if you work in smart working or spend a lot of time on the sofa.
Gaskets and edges of the refrigerator
It seems absurd, but it is precisely here that the most insidious dirt lurks. The refrigerator gasketsthose rubber strips that seal the door, retain crumbs, humidity and mold. And often you notice their condition only when they start to issue strange smells.
Cleaning them regularly helps not only to maintain the freshness of the food, but also to avoid energy waste. A dirty gasket does not seal well, and the fridge works more. A soft sponge is enough, warm water and a little baking soda: you pass in the corners, dry with care and you’re done.
It is not only a matter of cleaning, but also of efficiency.
Sides and sluts of the furniture
When you clean, look straight in front of her. But what happens if you lower yourself for a moment? The furniture clogsespecially those of the kitchen, they collect everything: dust, animal hair, splashes of oil.
The fact is that I’m not in the visual fieldtherefore they escape easily. But a look at sitting or a child playing on the floor is enough to realize that there is a small forgotten universe.
Sometimes it is worth moving your gaze down and passing a damp cloth. Better still if with a splash of vinegar: degrease and smells. And then, do you want to put the satisfaction of seeing the really clean furniture to the end?
Brushes and combs: the neglected of the bathroom
In the bathroom, the sanitary ware, the mirrors are cleaned, even the taps with the toothbrush. But brushes and combs? They remain there, full of hair and dust, perhaps resting next to perfectly ordered bottles.
Yet they come into direct contact with the hair every day. Cleaning them is a question of a few minutes. Just remove the accumulated hair, soak them with hot water, a pinch of baking soda and a drop of shampoo. After a few minutes, they rinse well and let themselves be dry in the air.
Not only will they be more hygienic, but also more effective. A clean brush slips better and does not transfer dirt to the freshly washed hair.
After all, there is no need to make great revolutions. Just notice those details that are neglected out of habit. Each object at home tells something, and taking care of it makes the difference.
Better to do it now, before the dirt accumulates and transforms a simple gesture into an avoidable drying.
