A cleaner has shared the four things people often forget to clean in their homes, before going on to share her easy tips on how to get the areas as sparkling as the rest of your house
A cleaner has issued a reminder for everyone to deep clean four specific spots in their home regularly, claiming most people frequently forget to scrub them when doing a big house clean.
Maintaining a clean home has been shown to improve our mental wellbeing and boost our overall moods, as dirt or clutter has been proven to make it worse. However, cleaning and decluttering can quickly turn into a daunting task that becomes increasingly overwhelming the more we put it off. To help, a professional cleaner called Sunny has revealed her tips and go-to techniques to simplify cleaning for you and make your home sparkling again.
In one video, she went on to highlight four areas in your property that people commonly forget to deep clean, before demonstrating her easy methods for getting the spots gleaming once more.
“Four things you probably forget to clean,” she wrote at the beginning of her TikTok clip.
She then revealed which four areas she meant, before demonstrating how she would tackle cleaning them.
1. Toilet
Keeping your toilet spotless will make your entire bathroom seem fresher and more sanitary. But how frequently are you genuinely deep cleaning your loo?
In the clip, Sunny can be seen tackling the toilet drain with a chemical cleaner before proceeding to scrub the interior of the toilet bowl. She then utilised sponges and cloths to wipe down every surface of the toilet from top to bottom.
And don’t neglect to mop or scrub the floor surrounding the toilet, as there could have been some splashing from the loo that you may not have spotted.
2. Air fryer
Most people are aware that they should clean their air fryer after use, particularly if it’s been left greasy from the last meal cooked in it. But how often do you ensure a thorough deep clean to remove all stains?
In her video, Sunny suggests adding a few spoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda to the air fryer basket, along with a splash of washing up liquid, before pouring in boiling water from the kettle, ensuring the water covers the tray inside.
After waiting a few minutes, she pours the water out into the sink, revealing a sparkling clean air fryer. A quick rinse and it’s ready for use again.
3. Make socks white again
Isn’t it frustrating when your once pristine white socks aren’t quite so white anymore?
While there’s a simple way to restore them to their former glory, this task often gets overlooked.
But if you’re tired of off-white socks and want to brighten them up again, simply follow Sunny’s straightforward tips. Place the socks in a bucket with hot water, add Oxi powder stain remover or any other bleaching powder, and let it sit for as long as the package instructs.
Drain the water in the sink before adding the socks to your washing machine along with more Oxi powder stain remover. Your socks will be brilliantly white again once the cycle is complete.
4. Dishwasher
While dishwashers were designed to ease the task of washing up, how often do you actually remember to clean the dishwasher from all the food and gunk that has accumulated?
In the video, Sunny takes out the shelves inside the dishwasher before unscrewing the blade inside the machine. She then proceeds to clean all these components, including the filter, by hand in the sink.
Before reassembling everything back into the machine, she ensures to scrub the interior with a sponge, before pouring another cleaning powder into the base of the dishwasher to run a cleaning cycle.
