15 overlooked and under-cleaned spots in your home.

Your home is not as clean as you think. It just looks clean.

In every home, there are several spots that are often forgotten in the regular house clean.

The bad news? The first time you clean these spots, it’ll be tough. They’ll be pretty dirty from months, or years, of build-up.

The good news? You don’t have to clean them very often. They don’t get dirty all that quickly, and maintenance is much easier than taking that first plunge.

You may need to pick up a few new cleaning products before getting started, but then you’ll be all set to have the cleanest home possible. Nothing feels better than a clean and tidy home.

I already do most of these things, like light switches and door handles and lamps, but how do you clean out a toaster? I shake out the crumbs but that's about it, any tips?

Mine has a removable tray at the bottom that you can take out and wash. I also wipe it down, I don't know how ours gets so many random splashes.

The other two places people seem to forget are the air intakes for ducted heating or airconditioning, so full of fluff and the kitchen range hood. I swear the one in my house had never been cleaned before I got there, full of grease and dead flies. Urgh.
