Skirting boards
They may be difficult to reach, particularly if large pieces of furniture are in the way, but baseboards must be cleaned regularly. As they are close to the ground, they can easily accumulate lots of dust, dirt, and pet hair.
Exposure to this excess dust can cause eye irritation, coughing, sneezing, and asthma attacks. People with health problems like asthma or emphysema are particularly vulnerable to even small amounts of dust.
One effective solution for thorough cleaning is using commercial backpack vacuums, which are designed to be powerful yet easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Their ergonomic design allows for efficient cleaning of areas like skirting boards without straining your back, ensuring a dust-free environment.
Washing machine
You might assume that this appliance would keep itself clean given it washes your clothes, but it can actually be a breeding ground for bacteria and mould.
The pipes and seals are regularly subjected to dust and dirt which can quickly build up. If the washing machine is not left to dry thoroughly after a wash, it provides the perfect conditions for mould to grow.
Mould is especially dangerous to be exposed to as it releases allergens, irritants, and sometimes toxic substances. Inhaling, ingesting, and touching mould spores can put you at risk of an allergic reaction, such as a cough, sneeze, and skin rash.
Curtains
As lots of curtains require specialist cleaning, like dry cleaning, they often get washed infrequently. However, they can harbour lots of dust and dirt overtime.
Due to their proximity to windows which is where mould often grows, mould can spread to them. As a porous material, mould can thrive on curtains and soon become a big problem which could put people’s health in danger.
Throw pillows and upholstery
Just like curtains, mould can easily start growing on upholstery and is very hard to remove. They must be cleaned and inspected for the early signs of mould frequently.
Any dust, pet dander, and fur can quickly build up on them, too, given how often we use furniture. If you neglect to clean your furniture, you could be inhaling large amounts of dirt, dust, and other allergens.
ICE Cleaning’s professional cleaners can clean your home thoroughly from top to bottom, including in those difficult-to-reach areas. They can also provide any other required services, such as mould remediation, to ensure your home is safe and hygienic.
