Surprising Places You're Forgetting To Clean

Even the tidiest homes have their blind spots! You may wipe down counters and vacuum the floors regularly, but there are areas in every home that often go overlooked because lets face it, you're busy. These missed spots can harbor dust, bacteria, and allergens that affect both your health and the overall cleanliness of your space. That’s why our cleaning professionals at Suzie Q Cleaning in Pinellas County pay special attention to the details that most people forget.

Here are 5 commonly missed areas we never overlook during an initial cleaning, and that we rotate among our recurring visits:

1. Light switches and door handles – These high-touch surfaces are used dozens of times a day by everyone in your household. Without regular disinfecting, they can quickly become hotspots for germs and bacteria.

2. Baseboards – They may be low to the ground, but they make a big difference in how clean your home looks. Baseboards easily collect dust, dirt, and pet hair. We always offer baseboards as an add on so that our clients can conveniently request it as needed.

3. Ceiling fans – Ceiling fans are very easy to forget about. Dust builds up quickly on blades, which then gets spread around your home when the fan is running. We carefully dust and wipe down ceiling fan blades so you can breathe easier knowing that Suzie Q Cleaning has you covered - top down in every room.

4. Under furniture and appliances – Dust bunnies, crumbs, and pet hair love to hide where you can’t see them. We make sure to take care of this at our initial visit, and rotate this task regularly with recurring visits in order to stay on top of it so you don't have to.

5. Under couch cushions - you'd be amazed at the things we find! What's hiding under your couch cushions?

6. Trash can interiors – While the bag gets replaced, the can itself is often neglected. Food particles and spills can lead to odors and bacteria build-up. It's good to get in the habit of cleaning the interior of trash cans with bleach or disinfectant once a month.
