Since running across the mess under my stove, I’ve been pondering the places we often forget when cleaning. Here’s a list of the top ten places most people forget to clean:
- Under the Stove – Although, based on the comments on that post, there are a LOT of you who do clean under the stove on a regular basis. I’m impressed!
- Dishwasher – Cleaning the dishwasher is actually quite easy but few take the time to do it on a regular basis.
- Behind furniture placed along the wall – Have you checked out those dust bunnies lately?
- Closets – Closets can get quite dirty! Make sure to vacuum them often and wipe down the baseboards at least once a year (maybe during Spring Cleaning).
- Remote Control – This is one of the germiest places in your home. Just think about how often unwashed hands have touched yours.
- Cell Phone – Think about the remote control times one million!
- Door Knobs – Pretty much self explanatory.
- Toilet Handle – Cleaning the inside of the toilet is a must do, but don’t forget the outside of the commode and especially the handle!
- Under the Refrigerator – There’s a good chance you clean under the refrigerator every once in a while, but it is still an area that is overlooked by many.
- Pillows – Yes, you can wash pillows!
Where do you think most people forget to clean?

I’m a wife. I’m a mom. And I don’t like to clean! With a house full of boys, though, cleaning is inevitable. That's why I've made it my mission to find the best organizing and cleaning tips. Hopefully, those tips will help us spend less time cleaning and more time with the ones we love.

I was scared to click on this link b/c I can barely keep clean the places I remember to clean, much less the places I forget to clean.
Another place I forget to clean is the tops of the ceiling fan blades. Yikes!
That’s a great list!! I need to print this one out & put it on a schedule or something.
Great list. I am soooo not a good housekeeper!
I’m afraid to look behind my sofa and chairs…. I’d say the place I forget about most is under my kitchen and bathroom sinks.
I cleaned under my stove recently for the first time. (Yikes! I know) and boy was it AWFUL. I’ll admit to never having cleaned my mini blinds. How terrible is that?
Ooo I so forget under the stove and fridge. On the other hand I am anal about the toilet handle and door knobs. Still working down the UBP list http://postpartumillness.com
Ew…I don’t even clean the places I *can* see much less the ones I forget…
;)
I really need to clean under my stove & refrigerator. It’s been WAY too long!
The tops of my kitchen cabinets ( we have a “gap” between the cabinets and the ceiling)
AND
the baseboard’s in the office….I don’t spend much time in there….
I do forget to clean those places! I’m going to go update my cleaning lists right now… :-)
