Check out part 1 first to see which 3 things I mentioned last time. Here are three more things not to miss next time when you are cleaning the house.
Behind the toilet
Most people clean inside the toilet bowl and bathroom floor regularly, but sometimes we forget to thoroughly clean behind the toilet and the surrounding walls. Sometimes splashing happens and you definitely don’t want to miss cleaning these spots.
Fans and radiators
Since these devices produce air circulation, you don’t want dust and dirt flying around. Opening and cleaning them is a tricky job, so if you are not sure how to do it, you can still vacuum clean them or wipe them regularly.
Keyboard and mouse
Just like our phones, we touch our computer keyboards and mouses all the time. However, how often do we clean them? You can use tech wipes or another method you prefer, but you preferably clean those when the device is turned off, and give it enough time for any liquid to evaporate.
Bonus
Also, don’t forget to remove the dust on and inside your computer, TV and so on. Some studies connect the flame retardants in electronics that get attached to the dust on the surface of these products, to cancer and other diseases.
For me personally, dust is quite annoying to clean. Sometimes, I have a feeling that even 5 minutes after I have taken care of it, it’s back again. Do you feel the same way? Do you have any cleaning tips you’d like to share?

Yes, should have added there is a lot to clean but my life has become like musical chairs I do what I have to first
We do what we have to do. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
You too Ellie! Have a happy weekend
Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot for your article. I was surprised by Virily changes
I was surprised too, but it sems that there are some good changes!
my ex-roommate swears that keyboards are dishwasher safe
Did he try it himself or did he want to test it on your keyboard? 😀
she did it to all her keyboards and swore they worked fine. we both worked at Symantec together, so she wasn’t a lightweight…
She might be up to something, there’s even a wiki how article on how to wash the keyboard in a dishwasher. We learn each day.
told you- she’s really up on things
Thanks for the smart tips, dear Ellie….send me someone else to do all this haha
Thanks for stopping by! I wish I had someone to do it instead of me too. 😀
It’s a great pleasure, dear Ellie …. good that I have someone who does this for me
Haha, lucky you! Have a wonderful weekend!
I wish you the same, my dear friend
Thank you so much for sharing the very helpful tips. I mostly forget about radiators ?
It’s easy to forget them, but cleaning them is worth it.
Well written and very great Information
Thank you for your kind words!
we ended up having the ducts (heating) in the house cleaned this summer. The amount of crap they pulled out was embarrassing!
I can imagine. It’s great you got them cleaned!
dryer vents are another one that gets forgotten.
I love this series!
This can go on forever since everyone may neglet a different thing. I want some device that goes on its own and sucks in all the dust from the room, since cleaning dust is the most annoying thing for me. 😀
do you know what surface was found to have the highest amount of germs active?
I get mixed information, but I am under the impression that the most germs are in the kitchen and in things we use in public, like elevator buttons, phone, keys, money, doorknobs, etc. Do you have any ideas?
there is a study just released –
the dirtiest item (in terms of number and types of germs) is the cell phone!
I am not surprised, people bring them everywhere.
I am looking at the new UV phone cleaner because of that!!!!
I try to do aa much as I can but being alone and interested in working online I tend to neglect things because who will see it anyway? However, I will try to do better. I figure if I put aside one day a week that will be plenty to clean up since I have a very little apartment
You can also try doing a little bit everyday; for example, cleaning the bathroom today, cleaning the dust and floors the other day and so on. I usually do it like that, so I don’t get too tired at once.
That is a really great suggestion Ellie thank you,
I love these reminders Ellie925, I hate cleaning behind the toilet bowl , but I do , its the fans that suffer the most, need to get hubs help for that.
It’s great that you share these responsibilities! 🙂
I try to do all of these, thanks for the reminders.
Thanks for stopping by, Carol! 🙂
