In your regular cleaning routine, you take care of all your day-to-day needs. However, there are areas of your home that won’t need constant cleaning, but they do need to be addressed at some point. These areas may often go unnoticed but cleaning them will help to improve the health of you and your family.
Vents and Air Ducts
Your air vents and ducts are working hard to manage your home’s temperature and filter dust and other irritants out of the air. However, if they aren’t regularly cleaned, they can begin blowing around contaminants that lower your air quality. You should clean your vents and air ducts to avoid this. A few times a year should be efficient. You can hire a professional cleaner to inspect and clean your system, but it is possible to clean your vents and ducts yourself. Just make sure you are careful to avoid damaging the system or contributing to future problems.
Basement Floors
Your basement floor might not be a high priority for you when it comes to cleaning. However, it can be a major source of mold in your home. This can be detrimental to your health. Basement floors can also be covered in dirt and dust. You should be sure to clean them regularly. If you are remodeling or finishing your basement, make sure you take proper precautions to protect your home. Make sure the floors are clear of all possible mold. Otherwise, you might have a more serious problem later.
Appliances
Your appliances are a part of your home that might go unnoticed when it’s time to clean. Many of them might be considered “self-cleaning.” However, these appliances need occasional cleaning. The main reason they shouldn’t be ignored is they can be a source of bacteria in your home. In general, your appliances will see a buildup of bacteria as well as food and many other contaminants. It can be helpful to create a routine or schedule for when you should address each appliance.
It’s important to keep your home clean so you can avoid any potential health issues. Unfortunately, some of the biggest proponents of health risks are the most overlooked spots in the home. Be aware of the areas of your home that often go unnoticed and make an effort to keep them clean.
