If you want to keep your apartment clean, you need routine above all.
Unfortunately, some places are left to the side.
If you wipe the floors in your apartment once or twice a week, you will ensure the necessary basic hygiene.
But apart from that, there are a few corners in the bedroom in particular that are often forgotten when cleaning.
This not only includes the fluff or dust bunnies that accumulate under the bed because you can't get to it very well with the vacuum cleaner.
The consumer advice center NRW once took the trouble and created a checklist of which points you should think about when cleaning your home.
In the bedroom, in addition to changing the bed linen, these are the following points.
Wipe down the bed frame and box
: It may not be the first thing you think about, but a damp cloth (or a damp cloth in the case of wood) is quickly wiped over all surfaces and prevents the accumulation of dust and dirt, which after all nobody likes to have on the bed .
Cleaning lamps and light switches:
Even the lights and switches in the bedroom are often forgotten when cleaning - even though we operate the switch countless times.
The situation is similar for handles on doors and windows.
Here, too, it is sufficient to wipe over it with a damp cloth.
If you like it particularly clean, you can also clean switches or door handles with a disinfectant cleaning agent.
Wipe out closets
: Honestly, who cleans their closet regularly?
The experts also recommend that. From the inside, outside and above.
Of course, dust likes to collect on the closet.
On the inside and outside, however, it should be sufficient if you vacuum the wardrobe every three months and then wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Of course, you have to take off all your clothes beforehand and put them back in afterwards.
This is best done in batches.
