In fact, it\u2019s impressive how quickly dust, stains, or general grime starts to accumulate. It\u2019s up to you to take action and keep the home clean. So what do you do? You go straight for the high-touch surfaces and make sure that they pristine. That is an excellent start, but there are so many neglected areas of the home that require cleaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring cleaning has become a trendy movement, and people tend to go into somewhat of a frenzy. Some people decide that a furniture move is important or that getting rid of junk is the primary goal. Others seem to do a general once-over of the counters, fridge, floors, and carpets. This is wonderful, but <strong>spring cleaning<\/strong> is the perfect time to address those areas of the home that often go unnoticed. We are talking about every nook and cranny in the home. That means under the couch, the backsplash behind the stove, and the other parts of the home in this article.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/5-health-benefits-of-spring-cleaning-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">good health starts with a clean home<\/a>. Start the spring season on a healthy note by including the following neglected areas in your cleaning routine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Base Of Toilets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When is the last time you cleaned the base of your toilet? Chances are that you neglect the base when you clean the seat and the bowl. If you don\u2019t clean it, urine can accumulate, especially in a home with children. Leaving urine at the base of the toilet can harbor germs, while the moisture can increase the risk of mold, which can cause respiratory problems. Use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diy-disinfectant-spray-to-sanitize-surfaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">antibacterial cleaning agent<\/a> to scrub the base of the toilet so that the porcelain sparkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Under The Couch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you have a robot vacuum, chances are that you aren\u2019t cleaning under the couch. Even the robot doesn\u2019t get every square inch under there! Spring is here, which means that you need to move the couch, bed, or other furniture item and get in there. You may need a vacuum and a mop to complete the task. It\u2019s not the most difficult thing to do, but it can be annoying. Get those spots clean once and for all, but don\u2019t continue to neglect them from now on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Area rugs can accumulate a lot of dirt, dust, and more, especially if they are in high-traffic areas. If you have pets, their hair doesn\u2019t come off with each vacuuming session either. For small rugs that are machine washable, read the directions and toss them in the washer. For larger rugs, you may need a separate piece of machinery or plan of attack to deep clean them. Check the material of the rug and research how to wash it before you just go for it. The last thing you want to do is ruin a rug and have to buy a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windowsills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s common to see dust on windowsills, but mold can easily grow in these areas. Unfortunately, many homeowners or renters don\u2019t consider this when it comes to cleaning. Mold spores are very small, discolored areas on the windowsills. If you don\u2019t regularly clean them, it\u2019s possible to damage your windows and indoor air quality. People with mold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/general-topics\/allergies-2\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"127\" title=\"Allergies\">allergies<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/general-topics\/respiratory-health\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"104\" title=\"Respiratory Health\">respiratory conditions<\/a> have a higher risk of experiencing symptoms in regards to mold accumulation. It\u2019s best to clean mold and condensation from windowsills with bleach diluted with water. Be sure to wear protective gloves and a mask.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Curtains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, curtains help to keep out the sunlight and the rest of the world from looking in, but they are dust traps. You could make the argument that a curtain\u2019s sole purpose is to collect dust. Most people don\u2019t realize how dusty they are until they give them a quick shake and see the dust linger in the sunlight. Depending on the type of curtains you have, you may want to have a professional do the job. Some curtains, however, are machine washable and you can clean them yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HVAC Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have central ventilation, heating, or an air-conditioning system in your home, you should change the filter regularly. Most filters should be changed every three months, so be sure to check if you are overdue. Filters work to catch particles that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/why-spring-cleaning-is-beneficial-for-your-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">affect indoor air quality,<\/a> including animal allergens, mold spores, and pollen. If you don\u2019t change your filters, they can fill up and become less effective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From air-conditioning filters to the bases around toilet bowls, there are many parts of the home that most people forget to spring clean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":138119,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,62],"tags":[2082,2432,2604,3263,3673,5385,8104],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>6 Parts Of The Home That Most People Don\u2019t Spring Clean -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From air-conditioning filters to the bases around toilet bowls, there are many parts of the home that most people forget to spring clean.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/6-parts-of-the-home-that-most-people-dont-spring-clean\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"6 Parts Of The Home That Most People Don\u2019t Spring Clean\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From air-conditioning filters to the bases around toilet bowls, there are many parts of the home that most people forget to spring clean.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/6-parts-of-the-home-that-most-people-dont-spring-clean\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies &amp;
