The 4 Most Commonly Missed Spots When Cleaning (And Why We Never Skip Them)

When it comes to keeping your home spotless, most people focus on the obvious: floors, countertops, bathrooms, and maybe a quick vacuum. But what about the spots that quietly collect dust, grime, and germs—without ever making it onto your cleaning checklist?

At Tina’s Clean Team, we believe a truly clean home means no corner gets overlooked. That’s why our professional cleaners always pay attention to the areas most people forget. Let’s break down the top four most commonly missed cleaning spots—and why they matter.

🧽 1. Baseboards

They’re low to the ground and easy to miss—but baseboards collect a shocking amount of dust, dirt, and pet hair. Especially in high-traffic areas, they can dull the look of your home and even affect indoor air quality.
Our Tip: A quick wipe-down during your routine clean can make a big difference in the freshness of your space.

🖐️ 2. Door Handles

Think about how many times you touch a door handle every day. Now multiply that by everyone in your household. Germs love this spot. Yet it’s often forgotten during a regular cleaning session.
Why It Matters: Disinfecting handles regularly helps reduce the spread of illness—especially during cold and flu season.

💨 3. Air Vents

Out of sight, out of mind? Not for us. Vents are sneaky dust collectors and can circulate allergens throughout your home if not cleaned.
Pro Tip: Keeping vents clean doesn’t just improve air quality—it also helps your HVAC system run more efficiently.

🔘 4. Light Switch Plates

We touch them constantly, but rarely think to clean them. Fingerprints, grime, and bacteria build up quickly.
Solution: A quick disinfecting wipe as part of your routine clean is all it takes to keep switch plates safe and looking fresh.
