10 Hidden Spots You're forgetting to Clean in You're Home

Even the tidiest homes have a few hidden spots that collect dust and grime over time. At Professional Touch Cleaning and Organizing, LLC, we know that true cleanliness goes beyond what you can see—it’s about those easily missed areas that can affect your home’s comfort and health.

Here are 10 hidden spots you’re probably forgetting to clean—and how to tackle them like a pro.

1. Behind and Under Appliances

Your refrigerator, stove, and washer may sparkle on the outside, but underneath, you’ll often find crumbs, dust, and grease. Cleaning behind and under appliances helps prevent odors and pests.

2. Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures

These tend to gather layers of dust that spread throughout your room when turned on. Use a microfiber duster or an old pillowcase to trap the dust and keep your air cleaner.

3. Baseboards and Trim

Baseboards are dust magnets. Wipe them down with a damp cloth or a mild cleaner to instantly refresh the look of your home.

4. Doorknobs, Light Switches, and Handles

Frequently touched surfaces collect germs quickly. Disinfect them weekly to reduce bacteria and keep your family healthy.

5. Under Furniture

It’s easy to skip under your couch or bed during quick cleans, but dust bunnies and debris love to hide there. Move furniture occasionally and vacuum or mop underneath.

6. Inside Trash Cans

Even with liners, trash cans can trap spills and odors. Wash them with soap and warm water, then spray with disinfectant to keep them fresh.

7. Window Tracks and Blinds

Dirt and bugs build up in window sills and tracks. Use a small brush or cotton swab to loosen debris, then wipe with vinegar and water for a streak-free shine.

8. Behind the Toilet

One of the most forgotten (and dirtiest) spots in any home! Wipe down the wall and floor area behind the toilet with disinfectant to maintain freshness and hygiene.

9. Remotes and Electronics

TV remotes, tablets, and keyboards collect oils and bacteria from daily use. Clean them gently with a disinfectant wipe or microfiber cloth.

10. Air Vents and Filters

Dust buildup in vents and filters affects air quality and efficiency. Clean vents regularly and replace filters every 1–3 months for healthier air.
