The areas of the house to be sanitized in September are often not the most obvious. Yet precisely in those forgotten details, dust, bacteria and residues that ruin the freshness of the rooms are hidden.
September brings with it a new atmosphere: you return from holidays, resume the routine and the desire for order is growing. It is curious to observe how many focus on the most obvious cleaning, forgetting less visible corners. In reality, it is precisely those hidden points that transform a house simply clean into a really welcoming and healthy. So what are the areas that often underestimate themselves?
A little trick? Prepare an essential kit with microfiber cloth, hot water, vinegar and baking soda. With a few natural ingredients you can get surprising results without resorting to too many industrial products. And in the meantime there is also a friend choice of the environment. It is worth trying at least once, because the difference is really perceived at first glance.
Sanitize the handles and switches
They are among the most touched objects ever and, paradoxically, the least clean. The doors handles they light switches They become true receptacles of invisible germs, especially if there are children or guests at home. A few seconds are enough: a cloth slightly moistened with water and a few drops of vinegar eliminates bacteria and returns an immediate clean sensation. Small details that change the air of the house more than it seems.
It is surprising to note how neglected they are often because they seem harmless. Taking care of these surfaces regularly means reducing risks and maintaining a truly healthy environment.
Air and hood filters
With the arrival of autumn we tend to close the windows more and the air at home becomes less fresh. THE air conditioners filters and of aspiring hoods Thus end up holding dust and substances that make the environment less healthy. Neglecting them means breathing heavy air and promoting unpleasant odors. Often it is thought that it is not an urgent problem, but the reality is different. A few minutes of care, in fact, can make a huge difference for everyone’s comfort.
To simplify the task, here are some key steps:
- Extract the filters carefully, following the indications of the appliance.
- Rinse them in hot water to remove the surface dirt.
- Use bicarbonate to remove more obstinate residues and neutralize smells.
- Leave them to dry completely before reassembling them.
- Repeat this at least every two months to guarantee cleaner air at home.
Sanitize remote controls and electronic devices
Smart TV, console, air conditioners: i remote controls They pass from hand to hand every day. Still, few really think about cleaning them. The same goes for smartphones, keyboards and mouse: tools continuously used that accumulate invisible dirt. A cloth with a little isopropilic alcohol, so much spent, is enough to remove germs and restore freshness.
It is not surprising that they are among the most forgotten points: they do not smell, they do not seem dirty and do not attract attention. But it is precisely there that bacteria and microbes find ideal land.
Curtains and furnishing fabrics
Cushions, plaids, curtains: elements that make a room welcoming but that often remain outside the seasonal cleaning program. In reality they are real dust and mites collectors. Washing curtains and linings in September means eliminating allergens accumulated during the summer and living a healthier autumn.
There is no need to complicate life: washing machine for light fabrics, vacuum cleaner with specific accessories for sofas and armchairs, dry laundry for the most delicate garments. In this way, the house is not only more beautiful, but also more healthy.
The Battiscopa and the hidden corners
Silent and neglected, i Battiscopa And the spaces between the furniture are perfect places for dust and hair. Yet they make the difference, especially when you spend more time indoors. In September it is worth dedicating an hour to these details: the result is a visually more orderly and really cleaner environment.
A damp cloth, a little patience and here the dirt disappears. There is no need for maniacal precision, that extra attention that changes the perception of the whole house is enough.
In the end, true sanitization does not concern only large surfaces but also those small corners that are part of daily life. September thus becomes the right opportunity to take care of it, with the feeling of a new beginning and the pleasure of living in renewed spaces.
Investing time in these forgotten areas gives in return a healthier house and a well -being that will accompany throughout the season.
