10. Trash Cans (Yes, Even with Liners!)
Even lined trash cans can collect grime and smells over time. Give them a good scrub with hot, soapy water and a bit of disinfectant.
11. Mattress and Bedding
Vacuum your mattress to remove dust mites, then sprinkle baking soda over the surface, let it sit for 15–30 minutes, and vacuum again. Wash all bedding—including mattress protectors and pillows.
12. Under Sink Areas
It’s easy to toss cleaning products under the sink and forget about them. Empty everything out, toss expired or unused items, and wipe down the area.
13. Remote Controls, Light Switches, and Door Handles
These high-touch items can be germ magnets. Wipe them down with disinfectant wipes or a cloth sprayed with rubbing alcohol.
14. Pet Areas
Don’t forget your furry friend’s space! Wash pet bedding, clean feeding areas, and vacuum around litter boxes or cages.
15. Digital Devices
Phones, tablets, keyboards, and TV remotes collect fingerprints, dust, and bacteria. Use a soft microfiber cloth with a bit of screen-safe cleaner to wipe them down.
Final Thoughts
Spring cleaning isn’t just about making things look clean—it’s about creating a healthier, more refreshing space to live in. By giving attention to these often-overlooked areas, you’ll enjoy a truly deep clean that makes your home feel brand new.
So don’t stop at surface-level sparkle—dig a little deeper and show your space the love it deserves. Your home (and your sinuses) will thank you!
