Top 7 Areas of the Home That Could Use a Deep Clean, Part 2

Going down the list:

Laundry Room

Laundry rooms may not be an obvious space that needs to be cleaned, but over time link dust gathers, gunk from stains and dirty clothes, dripped laundry detergent, dirty shoes, and more all add up into a space that needs to be scrubbed down. 
 
At least once every six months, it’s a good idea to pull your washer and dryer away from the walls. being careful not to disconnect them, and sweep behind them to gather any extra debris. This will lower your home’s risk of fires and will keep the space neat and clean.
​
Exterior of Home

The exterior of your home needs to be cleaned too! Beyond classic lawn work, it’s a good idea to take steps to research how to clean other parts of your home’s exterior. This could mean googling things like ‘how to remove oil stains for driveways‘ or checking out tutorials for removing pollen from your fiber cement siding. 
 
Usually, a power washer can do the work for you on many jobs, the strong stream of water breaking loose and dirt or grime, but there are plenty of other options that can help get the exterior of your property as clean as the interior.
