Baseboards

One of the biggest culprits behind a messy home is your typical baseboard. This trim is prominently featured in every room of the home, and it hardly catches your eye despite soaking up almost as much dirt and grime as the floors. A majority of modern homes feature baseboards in a bright white, meaning your mess will be easier to see.

Many of our clients are surprised by how big of a difference clean baseboards can make in the overall appearance of their homes and businesses. Clean Bees Housekeeping offers complete cleaning services to cover every inch of your property, including the baseboards for a truly reinvigorating shine.

Air Vents and Heat Registers

The vents placed along your floors are responsible for delivering conditioned air, but don’t forget that these points can trap dirt and debris over time. The same can be said for intake registers which take in the flow of air to help your HVAC system operate efficiently. Many homeowners focus on their seen surfaces, and often do not consider the cleanliness of their ductwork. These entry points see a lot of air movement and can make or break the air quality of the home.

Be sure to clean out the inside of your vents to remove dirt, pet hair, and dander, and don’t forget to wipe down the exterior surfaces for a complete shine.

Ceiling Fans

If you have ceiling fans in your Colorado home, we’re willing to bet that each one is covered in dust. We’ve all been guilty of forgetting about the dirt upon the blades of our fan until that switch is flipped on. Once the ceiling fan is moving, all of that loose dust is circulated into the space, disrupting air quality and making a mess of the entire room!

Out of sight is truly out of mind, we get it. Don’t forget to add this to your to-do list each season, as it will help to make the space that much cleaner!

Light Fixtures

While you’re up on a ladder wiping down your ceiling fan, don’t forget to check the status of your light fixtures. These elements are functional, beautiful, and made to tie a room design together, but they can also collect a considerable amount of dust. Be sure to deploy the right fabric to gently buff and shine your fixtures, and don’t forget to lay down a tarp to collect all that dust. You’ll love the results!

Window Blinds

The style and size of your window blinds will dictate how easy cleaning them will be. These vital components can gather a considerable amount of dust, often hidden within the many folds and curves of your window treatments. Taking the time to wipe down each slat and rid your blinds of accumulated dirt will help to create a cleaner, healthier aesthetic for your home. Proper cleaning can also help to prevent premature wear, saving you from costly replacements!

Handles, Switches, and Banisters

These permanent fixtures are essential in your home, yet they are often overlooked when it comes time to clean. Why? Handles and switches are designed to seamlessly integrate into the home design, meaning they easily blend in with your walls and other surfaces. The same can be said for banisters along your stairs. Not only are these places often forgotten, but they also are hotspots for germs and grime. Don’t forget to sanitize these surfaces!
