5 Things You’re Probably Not Cleaning (But Should Be!)

5 Things You’re Probably Not Cleaning (But Should Be!)

We get it — your cleaning game is strong. The floors sparkle, the counters shine, and even the sink is spotless. But even the best cleaners can miss a few spots.

Here are 5 sneaky things you're probably forgetting to clean (don’t worry, we are all in the same boat) — and why they deserve a spot on your cleaning radar.

1. Your Phone

It goes everywhere with you — the kitchen, the bathroom, the grocery store. But when was the last time you gave it a proper clean? Your phone can carry more germs than a toilet seat. Yup. Time to wipe it down daily with a safe, non-toxic cleaner and a microfiber cloth.

2. Light Switches

Tiny, touchy, and often overlooked. Light switches collect oils from our fingers and are one of the most touched (and least cleaned) surfaces in any home. Give them a quick spritz and wipe — it takes seconds!

3. Remote Controls

Everyone in the house touches it, snacks nearby it, and probably drops it under the couch. Wipe your remotes weekly, especially if someone in the house is feeling under the weather.

4. Trash Cans (Yes, Even with a Liner!)

Liners leak. Smells linger. Bacteria parties happen. Spray the inside (and outside!) of your trash cans with a disinfecting cleaner regularly and let them air dry.

5. The Inside of Your Washing Machine

Sounds counterintuitive, right? But detergent residue and dampness make a great home for mold and odors. Run an empty cycle with vinegar or give it a wipe-down to keep it fresh.

The Takeaway:

It’s easy to miss the little things — but they make a big difference when it comes to a truly clean and healthy home. The good news? You don’t need harsh chemicals to tackle these tasks. Just a little awareness and a safe, effective cleaner like Kyma in your corner.
