We’ve all been there: the house looks clean… until sunlight hits the blinds just right, and suddenly it’s dust city. Whether you're in a high-rise in South Lake Union or a cozy home in Ballard, there are spots in your place that probably haven’t seen a cleaning cloth in months.

‍

At Seattle Cleaning, we’re all about handling the details you didn’t even know you missed. Here's a quick rundown of the 7 most commonly forgotten spots — and yes, we clean them all.

‍

1. Baseboards

These little ledges collect dust like it’s their job. Most people don’t even notice until they’re moving out or doing a deep clean. We always keep baseboards in mind — especially in high-traffic areas.

‍

2. Blinds and Window Sills

Seattle has its fair share of pollen and dust floating around. It settles right onto your blinds and sills, which are easy to forget — but hard to unsee once the sun shines through. We wipe those down so your windows sparkle.

‍

3. Behind the Toilet

Let’s be honest — no one wants to clean back there. But bacteria and dust build up fast. Our professional house cleaners handle it without hesitation.

‍

4. Light Switches and Doorknobs

You touch them a hundred times a day, but when was the last time they were wiped down? These are hotspots for germs, and we make sure they’re clean.

‍

5. Ceiling Fans

Especially in apartments and homes with tall ceilings, fan blades become dust traps. When you turn them on, that dust just floats right back into the air. We’ve got it covered.

‍

6. Under the Couch (and Cushions)

If you’ve got kids or pets, this one’s huge. Crumbs, toys, hair… it all ends up under the cushions or hidden beneath the furniture. We check under and in everything.

‍

7. The Inside of the Microwave

It’s easy to forget until something explodes. We clean inside the microwave, removing the built-up splatter so it actually looks — and smells — clean.
