What places should you definitely not forget when doing a thorough cleaning?

Spring has been around for a while and most people have already completed the big spring cleaning. Still, it's good to do a thorough cleaning regularly. Because although your home may seem clean after a quick vacuum or Swiffer job, bacteria can collect in the most unexpected places, such as in the freezer or under your mattress.That's why we have listed 4 places you forget to clean anyway.

Door handles and remote controls

Light switches, door handles and remote controls don’t get cleaned nearly as often as they should. Yet they are touched a lot during the day. Therefore, when you do a thorough cleaning, make sure to put a splash of baking soda vinegar on a microfiber cloth and be sure to brush these spots!

Greasy extractor hood

An extractor hood draws out all the odors during cooking. But at the same time, it also attracts grease. That is why it is good to regularly clean the filter. This reduces the chance that the ventilation no longer works optimally. Moreover, you can easily clean a (metal) filter by placing it horizontally in the upper part of the dishwasher. After that, run the dishwasher all the way through once. After that, clean the inside of the hood with a sponge and hot water, then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth and dry with a cotton cloth.

The mattress could also use a thorough cleaning

You never sleep alone in bed! On average, about 1.5 million dust mites live in your bed. Therefore, don’t forget to clean your mattress properly from time to time. How.Beat the dust out of your mattress, then sprinkle it heavily with baking soda, let it soak in for a few hours, vacuum up the soda with a vacuum cleaner and put a new comforter cover on top.

Bacteria in the freezer

It is often thought that the freezing cold kills all bacteria in the freezer. But nothing could be further from the truth, they merely hibernate there.As a result, they get into every nook and cranny of the freezer and can still spoil food. Therefore, when you do a thorough cleaning, make sure that you completely defrost your freezer and take out the ice. Then you can kill the bacteria by wiping the inside with a cloth soaked in a mixture of half water and half natural vinegar.
