Although many Brits<\/a> are moving away from the seasonal ‘deep clean’, there’s nothing like a sparkling clean house after an intense spring cleaning session.<\/p>\n

Most people think spring cleaning just involves clearing out expired food from the fridge, getting rid of old clothes, and decluttering \u2013 but that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n

From remote controls and electronics to bins and pillows, here\u2019s a list of 5 things people usually forget to cover in their spring clean:<\/p>\n

Remote controls, switches & handles<\/b><\/h2>\n

Think about the things you touch every day: doorknobs, kitchen cabinets, light switches and TV remotes \u2013 they all gather germs and dirt too.<\/p>\n

Make sure you go over all these items with a cloth and disinfectant. As for the TV remote, remove the batteries and use a cotton bud with disinfectant to rub around the buttons. Wipe the remainder of the remote with a lint-free cloth.<\/p>\n

Mattress<\/b><\/h2>\n

Washing the sheets is easy, but the mattress is an item that many people don’t usually think of cleaning.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve stripped the bed of the sheets, use your vacuum to clean all the dust off the mattress. Next, use some baking soda and mix with a few drops of essential oils (try lavender). Using a kitchen strainer, sprinkle the soda all over the mattress.<\/p>\n

Leave it on for at least an hour and then vacuum with the hose attachment.<\/p>\n

Extractor fans<\/b><\/h2>\n

Extractor fans are easily forgotten in the cleaning process and the result is sticky grease. As tough as it may seem to clean, it\u2019s actually quite easy.<\/p>\n

Using a big stainless steel pot, boil water and add in baking soda slowly until it fizzes. Use tongs to lower the filters into the pot.<\/p>\n

Leave them in for a minute or two and remove and they should look as good as new.<\/p>\n

Outdoor space<\/b><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t forget your garden and any patio space. Use a power hose to remove leaves, mildew and marks.<\/p>\n

Check all the gutters for leaves that may have accumulated over the cooler months and remove them.<\/p>\n
