APARTMENT LIVING

At Taluswood Apartments in Mountlake Terrace, it’s easy to maintain a clean and organized lifestyle. But even the cleanest person can sometimes miss certain areas. It’s especially easy to forget to clean some things that are in plain sight every day! For a handy reminder, check out this list of things you’re forgetting to clean.

YOUR TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER

Cleaning your toothbrush holder isn’t the first thing you think of when you’re getting ready for work in the morning. And, chances are, your toothbrush holder isn’t see-through. You can’t see that at the bottom it’s getting dirtier every day. Even if you store your toothbrush with the bristles up, the handle gets dirty, and that’s where you put your own hands. An easy way to clean it is to just remove the lid with the holes and put everything in the dishwasher.

UNDER THE REFRIGERATOR

When is the last time you looked under your refrigerator? If you did, you’d likely see an accumulation of pet hair, crumbs and lots of things that are no longer identifiable. The simplest way to clean under the refrigerator without moving it is to use a long-handled dusting wand that’s been dampened with water. If your refrigerator is on wheels, you might even be able to roll it out and clean underneath.

LIGHT SWITCHES

Take a minute to walk around your apartment and really look at your light switches. These get touched multiple times a day and even the cleanest people leave prints and marks. There’s also the consideration that a lot of germs can build up on light switches. To get them clean fast, just spritz a cloth with a glass cleaner or other general household cleaner. Wipe down and be amazed at the difference!

HOUSEHOLD PLANTS

Plant leaves get dusty just like anything else. But when dust accumulates on plant leaves, the plant can’t be as healthy as it should be because the dust interferes with photosynthesis. Even once in a while, dust your plants off with a clean cloth dampened with water.
