10 Areas Professional Cleaners Always Clean (That You Probably Miss)

Ever wonder why your home feels cleaner after a professional visit? It's often the little details - the spots we all tend to overlook in our regular cleaning routine. Here are 10 areas professional cleaners never miss.

1. Light Switches and Door Handles

These are touched dozens of times daily but rarely cleaned. Professional cleaners wipe down every light switch and door handle with disinfectant - it makes a surprising difference to how clean your home feels.

2. Top of Door Frames and Cabinets

Out of sight, out of mind? Not for professionals. The tops of doors, door frames, and kitchen cabinets collect significant dust. We use microfibre cloths on extendable handles to reach these spots.

3. Behind the Toilet

The back of the toilet, including the pipe and the wall behind it, is often neglected. This area collects dust and can develop grime quickly. A proper toilet clean includes this hidden area.

4. Under Furniture Edges

The 5cm gap under your couch or bed that the vacuum doesn't quite reach? Professional cleaners use crevice tools and flat vacuum heads to get right under furniture edges where dust bunnies love to hide.

5. Inside the Dishwasher

Your dishwasher cleans your dishes, but it also needs cleaning itself. We clean around the door seal, filter, and spray arms where food particles and grime accumulate.

6. Window Tracks

While you might clean your windows regularly, the tracks often get overlooked. These collect dust, dead insects, and debris. A stiff brush and vacuum make quick work of this grimy area.

7. Rangehood Filter

If you can't remember the last time you cleaned your rangehood filter, you're not alone. A greasy filter doesn't just look bad - it reduces efficiency and can be a fire hazard. We soak and scrub these to remove built-up grease.

8. Skirting Boards

Skirting boards are at the perfect height to collect dust and scuff marks. Professional cleaners wipe these down in every room - it's one of those details that makes a freshly cleaned room look polished.

9. Air Vents and Returns

Dusty air vents circulate dust throughout your home. We remove vent covers and clean both the cover and the vent opening. This improves air quality and reduces dust accumulation.

10. Shower Door Tracks

The tracks of sliding shower doors are notorious for collecting soap scum, mould, and grime. This requires detailed cleaning with appropriate solutions to prevent mould growth.
