Top 7 Areas Homeowners Forget to Clean (But We Don’t)
Keeping a clean home takes effort, consistency, and attention to detail. Most homeowners manage to stay on top of the basics—vacuuming floors, wiping down counters, and keeping bathrooms looking presentable. But even with regular upkeep, there are always hidden spots that tend to be overlooked.
At Latina’s House Cleaning, we specialize in deep, thorough cleaning that covers every inch of your home—especially the areas most people forget. Our professional team is trained to go beyond surface-level cleaning, making sure nothing gets missed. Here are the top 7 areas commonly forgotten during routine cleaning, and how we make sure they’re spotless every time.
1. Baseboards
Baseboards are one of the first places to collect dust, pet hair, and scuff marks—yet they’re often ignored during everyday cleaning. Most people don’t notice them until they’re covered in grime.
Our approach: We take the time to wipe down baseboards throughout the entire home using gentle but effective products that remove buildup and restore their clean, bright look.
2. Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures
Out of sight, out of mind—but dust on ceiling fans and light fixtures doesn’t just sit there. It can circulate in the air and affect your indoor air quality. Plus, cobwebs love to form in these spots.
Our approach: We bring the right tools to safely clean fan blades and fixtures, even in high-ceiling areas, so your home looks cleaner and feels fresher from top to bottom.
3. Behind and Under Furniture
It’s easy to vacuum around your furniture and call it done—but dirt, crumbs, and dust bunnies love to hide in these hard-to-reach spaces. Over time, this hidden mess can cause odors and even trigger allergies.
Our approach: We carefully move light furniture and clean behind and underneath, making sure your floors and corners are truly clean—not just the visible areas.

4. Blinds and Window Sills
Windows may get wiped, but blinds and sills often get skipped. Dust and dirt build up here quickly, especially if your windows are left open during warmer months.
Our approach: We gently clean each slat of your blinds and wipe down window sills, removing dust, pollen, and grime to keep your windows looking spotless and your air cleaner.
5. Door Frames and Light Switches
High-touch areas like door frames, handles, and light switches accumulate fingerprints, oils, and bacteria—but are often missed during quick cleanups.
Our approach: These spots are always on our checklist. We sanitize them properly to help create a healthier home environment, especially in homes with children or high foot traffic.
6. Vents and Air Returns
Dusty vents not only look bad—they also push allergens and particles into the air you breathe. Most people don’t realize how quickly vents collect dust until they’re visibly clogged.
Our approach: We dust and wipe down vents and air returns as part of our deep cleaning service, helping improve your indoor air quality and the efficiency of your HVAC system.
7. Inside Cabinets and Drawers
Crumbs, dust, and spills can collect inside drawers and cabinets over time—especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Even if the outside looks clean, the inside can tell a different story.
Our approach: When requested, we empty and clean the interiors of your cabinets and drawers, leaving your storage areas just as spotless as the rest of your home.
