7 Spots in Your Home You’re Probably Forgetting to Clean
Mental Floss and Roborock highlight often-missed areas of the home and practical cleaning tips to reduce dust, grime, and germs. Pay attention to [[ceilings]] and [[crown molding]], then the tops of [[doorways]] and [[cabinets]], since dust and cobwebs settle in high spots; use a vacuum with a HEPA filter or a dust attachment and work top to bottom. Clean [[vents]] after shutting off HVAC and scrub covers in warm soapy water. Disinfect high-touch items like [[door handles]] and [[light switches]] frequently. Remove buildup from [[walls]] and [[baseboards]] with a brush attachment and damp cloth. Vacuum under [[furniture]] and [[appliances]] every few weeks and lift cushions to clean beneath [[couch cushions]]. For hands-off maintenance, consider a robot vacuum such as the [[Roborock Qrevo Pro]]. Spot-treat stains and deep-clean cushions every six months.
