We all know about the major things we're meant to clean every week, but what about those smaller, more easily forgotten items? Are you sure you're doing everything you can to have a super clean, hygienic and sparkling home? If not, don't panic, as most of us don't!
Forgetting to tackle small tasks is something us humans are fantastic at but we're also good at compiling lists so we stop forgetting. That's what this is; a handy compendium of extra cleaning duties that won't take long but will make a huge difference to your home.
Professional cleaners may have known to shake out the cutlery drawer in your kitchen now and then but if that's news to you, read on as this is definitely the article for you and these things need your attention.

Give them a wipe before you use them, especially if they're hung up instead of in a drawer.
You won't believe how mucky these get so grab a wet dishcloth.
You might need to dig out an extra long vacuum attachment for this one!
This includes taking the shower-head off and giving it a scrub.

The amount of hair any pet sheds is incredible so hoover their favourite spot once a week.
Just like your normal pillows, they need a good freshen now and then so bash them about in the fresh air.
Dust just loves to settle on the top of them and if you can't see it, you won't remove it.
Greasy hair can really take its toll on a headboard so give it a wipe each week, or for a fabric version, treat it to prevent staining.
You'll be shocked when you lean down to check yours! Grab a dryer sheet and give them a wipe to get rid of months of dust.
Real fires throw a lot of ash into a room unless cleared out after each use (once it's cold, obviously!).
Crumbs, hair and even knick-knacks all end up there. The vacuum cleaner is your best friend for this one!
Every rug will benefit from a regular freshen-up. Just sprinkle baking soda on them, leave for an hour and vacuum.
You see? None of these were tricky or too time consuming but they will make a massive difference to your home!
