We all take pride in maintaining a clean home, especially in beautiful San Luis Obispo County. But even the most diligent cleaners can overlook some spots that seem clean but are actually harboring hidden dirt and grime. Let’s uncover the truth about these often-missed areas and why they deserve a deeper scrub.
Light switches and door handles
Think about how often you touch light switches and door handles throughout the day. Now think about the last time you gave them a good clean. These high-touch surfaces are magnets for dirt, germs, and oils from our hands. Wiping them down with a disinfectant regularly is key to keeping them truly clean.
Remote controls
We all love our TV time, but when was the last time you cleaned your remote control? These devices are often passed around and touched by multiple hands, making them prime real estate for bacteria. A quick wipe with an alcohol-based cleaner can go a long way in keeping germs at bay.
Under the couch
Out of sight, out of mind, right? The space under your couch can become a graveyard for dust, crumbs, and even forgotten items. While vacuuming around your furniture is great, make it a habit to move the couch and clean underneath every so often. You might be surprised (or horrified) by what you find!
Shower curtains and liners
Your shower curtain or liner might look clean, but they can quickly become breeding grounds for mold and mildew, especially in the damp environment of a bathroom. Toss them in the washing machine every few weeks to keep them fresh and free of harmful spores.
The tops of cabinets and appliance
When was the last time you checked the tops of your kitchen cabinets or fridge? These spots can accumulate a layer of dust and grease over time, especially in the kitchen where cooking oils can rise and settle. Grab a step stool and give them a good wipe down—your future self will thank you!
So, the next time you’re doing your regular cleaning, take a moment to consider these often-overlooked areas. A little extra attention can make a big difference in keeping your home truly clean and healthy.

Having a clean, fresh and disinfected bathroom is essential to maintain a cozy atmosphere at home. Proper bathroom cleaning is not only important for your comfort, but also for health concerns. Here are some tips to get rid of those unpleasant odors effectively.
Regular cleaning
Keep a consistent cleaning routine to avoid bacteria and residue buildup. Clean the toilet, sink and surfaces regularly with disinfectant products.
Adequate ventilation
Make sure the bathroom has good air circulation. Open windows or use an exhaust fan to remove moisture that can cause bad odors and mold buildup.
Use deodorizers or natural air fresheners
We need to be very careful while using air fresheners in the bathroom. First of all, you need to get rid of any residual odor with a deodorizing product such as baking soda; after that, you can use natural air fresheners such as essential oils, scented candles or sachets to maintain a fresh scent in the bathroom.
Go the DIY way
Sometimes the best way is the DIY way: Spray white vinegar in the toilet and on surfaces and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Vinegar helps neutralize odors and disinfect.
Sprinkle baking soda in the toilet and on odorous areas. Let it sit for a while and then rinse. Vinegar and baking soda help neutralize odors, disinfect and kill bacteria.
Prevent hair and debris buildup
Regularly clean drains to prevent the buildup of hair and other debris that can cause water to stagnate and generate bad odors in the drains.
Remember that prevention is key to maintaining an odor-free bathroom. With these tips and a little diligence, you can make sure your bathroom always smells fresh and pleasant. For a more deep cleaning give us a call, we’re only a click away!
The microwave is one of the most used appliances in the home and that is why it must be kept clean to avoid bacteria and bad odors. Today we share with you a quick, simple and inexpensive How-To clean your microwave
In a microwave-ready container, mix two tablespoons of white vinegar and fill it halfway with water, put it in the oven and heat it for 5 minutes, although if it is a high power, 3 minutes will be enough.
The steam from this mixture will loosen the dirt or grease from the walls and it will be easier to clean it. To do this, take a sponge soaked with baking soda and start cleaning from the top until you reach the base, where previously you have to remove the dish and wash it separately. After passing the sponge with baking soda, clean again, but now with a damp cloth.
Once it is clean and odorless, you can use it to scent your home, for this you simply have to put water in the container along with a couple of cinnamon sticks and a few slices of lemon and heat for 3 to 5 minutes, this will make the aroma go out throughout your kitchen.

There are several kinds of dust depending on a determined number of factors. And each kind has their own cleaning and disposing procedures.
Let’s start with regular dust. According to the American Lung Association“Many people don’t realize that dust is made up of dead skin cells, dust mite droppings and dust mite body fragments. With dead skin cells acting as a key component, increased time spent indoors may actually contribute to an increase of particles in your home. As it accumulates, it becomes more visible to the naked eye, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been there the entire time.”
With that in mind, now we know that it’s important to keep our home clean, even though it’s pretty much impossible to get rid of all the particles, we can keep it at bay with a daily cleaning. If we let it rest, we have the risk to let it turn into filth, that’s when liquid or oily particles in the environment act upon the dust and makes it stick to surfaces; besides making it harder to clean it, it can host hazardous pathogens.
On the other hand, Drywall dust is a compound thin as talcum and it’s considered to be incredibly invasive; to the extent that many home vacuum manufacturers render their warranty invalid if they find it. To get rid of it it’s important to protect your furniture and have an industrial vacuum cleaner capable to absorb those particles without messing up their inner components.
We know the importance of a home free of particles, improving the air quality in your place can help you avoid lung diseases and allergies. Make your home a safe spot for your family! For both kind of dusts we’re able to help you! Just send us a message and request your estimate.
Did you know that sustainable practices are not only great for the environment but also beneficial for your well-being?
By Jessica Bree
A feature on green lifestyles from the World Economic Forum found that environmentally friendly and sustainable actions improve the feelings of wellness in people, regardless of socioeconomic status. Small actions such as reducing food waste, buying greener products, and donating money to environmental campaigns boost happiness.
The best thing about sustainable living is that it can start with minor actions — and what better way to begin than to make little impactful changes from the comforts of our home? Maryville University outlines that sustainable living is the practice of making conscious lifestyle choices that reduce your impact on the environment. Switching your diet from plant-based foods, for example, could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 84%. Aside from what you eat, you can make sustainable choices that keep your home cleaner and healthier to live in. Today, we’ll discuss some of the sustainable practices you can start doing to keep your home clean — without harming the environment
Avoid harmful cleaning products
The chemicals in most house cleaning products are not great for the planet and those living in the house. Air fresheners are popular because they claim to improve indoor air quality while making your rooms smell good. By law, however, air freshener companies are allowed to keep ingredients confidential as the US Food and Drug Administration deems them trade secrets, which keeps consumers from knowing the complete list of ingredients or chemicals used. While the ingredients used may not always seem directly harmful or toxic, they can create new substances when mixed with the ozone, called secondary pollutants. Some secondary pollutants include formaldehyde — a known carcinogen.
Instead of relying on harmful cleaning products, look into organic or healthier alternatives by researching common brands. Outside of products, you can also look into DIY practices. Instead of buying air fresheners, try opening your windows to air out rooms. Combined with regular cleaning, this prevents the buildup of dust and mold, which often cause seasonal allergies. We’ve previously written about allergies in our post ‘What’s an Allergy and How to Avoid Them’. We covered how ignoring symptoms of an allergy could potentially lead to conditions like asthma. By keeping your home clean with sustainable products, you can prevent the development of these health conditions.
Upcycle old items
If you’re looking into redecorating your home on top of deep cleaning, thinking twice about what you want to do with your old, unused furniture and other household items is essential to stay environmentally friendly. Upcycling can help you create one-of-a-kind furniture pieces and interior decor. Recycling your old furniture to repurpose or combine with other materials can result in aesthetically pleasing “new” furniture that is unique and all yours.
When decluttering, think creatively about other purposes for which you can use items in your junk pile. An old coffee table and a collection of jeans that no longer fit can make for an exciting sofa set if you don’t mind getting crafty. The possibilities are endless, and in doing so, you contribute less harmful waste to the environment — while being able to re-envision your living space.
Don’t buy disposable items, take the sustainable route
Finally, it’s essential to be an eco-conscious consumer, even when thinking of house cleaning. Avoiding harmful cleaning products is a great start, but you should assess if you’re using smaller purchases that may harm the environment in less obvious ways.
Opting for dish rags instead of disposable paper towels, for instance, can help reduce trash production. Other replaceable everyday items include disposable water bottles — why not get reusable ones that might look better too? Investing in reusable products helps save you money and protect the planet; moreover, you won’t need to store the many packs of paper towels or plastic utensils that clutter your house.
