Conquer the Corners: Tips on How to Clean the Hard-to-Reach Spots

Keeping your home clean requires more than regular dusting and vacuuming. The hardest part is often tackling those elusive, hard-to-reach spots that can harbour dust, dirt, and allergens. At MM Services Group, we understand the challenge of cleaning these tricky areas and are here to share some expert tips to help you conquer them.

1. Ceiling Corners and Crown Moldings

Tip: Use an Extendable Duster

Ceiling corners and crown mouldings can be a magnet for cobwebs and dust. Using a long-handled, extendable duster makes reaching these areas easier without straining yourself.

How to do it:

• Extend the duster to its full length and gently sweep it along the corners and mouldings.
• For stubborn cobwebs, a vacuum with an extendable hose attachment can also be effective.

MM Services Secret: Our professionals use high-quality extendable dusters and specialized tools to ensure every corner is dust-free and cobwebs, giving your home a pristine look.

2. Behind and Under Appliances

Tip: Move Appliances Carefully

Dirt and debris can accumulate behind and under large appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and washing machines. Regularly moving these appliances and cleaning the space behind them can prevent buildup.

How to do it:

• Carefully slide the appliance out and use a vacuum to remove loose debris.
• Follow up with a damp cloth or mop to clean the floor surface.

MM Services Secret: We handle these tasks carefully and precisely, using protective methods to avoid scratching floors and ensuring no corners are left dirty.

3. High Shelves and Cabinets

Tip: Utilize a Step Ladder

Dust can settle on high shelves and cabinets, often out of sight and reach. A sturdy step ladder will help you safely clean these areas.

How to do it:

• Use a microfiber cloth or duster to wipe down shelves and cabinet tops.
• Consider using shelf liners to make future clean-ups easier.

MM Services Secret: Our team uses professional-grade ladders and dusters to efficiently clean high and awkward spaces, ensuring your home is dust-free from top to bottom.

4. Inside and Behind Furniture

Tip: Move and Clean

Dust and crumbs can easily find their way into the crevices of sofas and underneath heavy furniture like beds and dressers. Regularly moving furniture and cleaning underneath can prevent dirt accumulation.

How to do it:

• Move the furniture out and vacuum the area thoroughly.
• For upholstered furniture, use a vacuum attachment to clean under cushions and along seams.

MM Services Secret: We carefully move and clean under and around furniture, using specialized equipment to reach deep crevices and ensure a comprehensive clean.

5. Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans

Tip: Use a Pillowcase for Ceiling Fans

Light fixtures and ceiling fans are notorious dust collectors. Using a pillowcase, it is easy to clean ceiling fan blades without making a mess.

How to do it:

• Slide an old pillowcase over each blade and pull it off, trapping the dust inside.
• Follow up with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue.

MM Services Secret: Our expert cleaners use specialized tools and techniques to clean light fixtures and ceiling fans efficiently, removing dust and grime without causing damage.

6. Window Tracks and Blinds

Tip: Brush and Vacuum

Window tracks and blinds can accumulate dirt and debris over time, making cleaning difficult with just a cloth. A small brush and a vacuum can make this task easier.

How to do it:

• Use a small brush or an old toothbrush to dislodge dirt from window tracks.
• Follow up with a vacuum to remove the debris.
• For blinds, a microfiber cloth or a dedicated blind cleaner can effectively remove dust.

MM Services Secret: We meticulously clean window tracks and blinds, using the right tools to remove dirt and dust without damaging delicate components.

7. Baseboards and Skirting Boards

Tip: Use a Cloth Wrapped Around a Stick

Baseboards can collect dust and grime that regular mopping might miss. A cloth wrapped around a stick or a mop can help reach these low areas without bending down.

How to do it:

• Dampen a cloth with a mild cleaning solution and wrap it around a stick or mop handle.
• Run it along the baseboards to remove dust and dirt.

MM Services Secret: Our cleaners use specialized tools and techniques to ensure baseboards and skirting boards are spotless, enhancing the overall cleanliness of your home.
