Even during a general cleaning, many people forget about frequently used items that need a thorough cleaning.

Some things can be used every day, but they are washed at best once a year, and sometimes even less often.

TV remote control

Over time, the TV remote control turns into a real breeding ground for germs. To make this device cleaner, just wipe it with a solution of alcohol and water (1:1).

Iron

This item is not only covered in dust. Burnt dirt can also appear on the sole, which then ends up on clothes. To remove the deposit, housewives clean the iron with a napkin with toothpaste, and then wipe it with a damp cloth.

Window sills and window frames

Housewives often focus on the cleanliness of glass, which literally "squeaks" after washing. However, they forget about window sills and frames, on which a thick layer of dust and dirt forms over time.

Extractor hood

If the kitchen hood has started to work worse, it may mean that its filters are clogged. To clean them, housewives prepare a simple solution: soap, baking soda and warm water. Filters are placed in the liquid, left for 5 minutes, and then cleaned with a hard brush.

Lampshades

Dust settles equally well on the lampshades of floor and table lamps. Housewives clean them with a lint roller or microfiber cloth.
