How to Clean the 5 Trickiest Spots in Your Home

Every house has a problematic area or an item that you just can’t clean enough no matter how hard you try. When this happens, most people hire home cleaning services in Kailua to help them. And since maids are able to clean almost any object, giving them a call ensures that you’ll get even the trickiest spots in your home properly cleaned.

These frustrating spots are usually hard-to-reach crevices in various objects, like drawers, decorative items, and technology. Leaving them semi-clean can sometimes lead to the accumulation of dust, which triggers allergies and asthma, as well as germs and bacteria. We’ve compiled a list of the 5 trickiest spots in your home. Read on!

How do you clean the trickiest spots in your house?

Starting from the bathroom, have you ever tried cleaning these spots?

1. Showerhead

One of the best places for mold and mildew is right there in the tiny holes of your showerhead where the water comes out. If you keep it dirty for a long time, hard water can clog the holes, which may lead to having to buy a new showerhead.

The trick to cleaning this is pretty simple, as all you need is a plastic bag and white vinegar. Fill up the bag with white vinegar and tie it around the showerhead. Leave overnight and then rinse. Your showerhead will be working with no issues, and all the hard water stains will be gone!

2. Hard water and mildew behind the faucet

No matter how hard you scrub, it’s nearly impossible to remove the grime between the faucet and the sink. This is because you’d usually use a sponge, steel wool, or a microfiber cloth. Instead, try using a needle, or a toothpick. Soak the area in the product, leave it for a few minutes and start scratching the mildew away.

3. Laptop keyboard

While desktop computer keyboards are detachable and nowadays come with replaceable keys, laptops are a different story. The keycaps are flat, and there is barely a millimeter of space between the cap and the plate. Cleaning them with a toothbrush might be effective, but it’s time-consuming.

A simple way to clean these tiny crevices is by using canned or compressed air. Unless there’s sticky grease between the keys, canned air can easily get out all the breadcrumbs and other debris. On the other hand, you can remove sticky grease by rubbing alcohol, q-tips, and an old toothbrush.

4. Window blinds

Most people forget to clean these, and then wonder why they develop allergies to dust. The best way to clean window blinds is by remembering to reverse the direction so that you get both sides. You can even put two sponges on each end of the kitchen tongs and wipe each slat separately. This ensures no dust on your blinds, and you can reuse the sponges.

5. Ceiling fixtures

Ceiling lights are tricky to clean because you have to use a prop to reach them. Also, dust falls down on you as you do it because you use your trusty feather duster. To avoid dust bunnies all over your room, switch to disposable dusters with extendable handles to reach the upper parts easily. These cause the dust to cling to them instead of scattering it around the room.
