Lots of people make the mistake of only cleaning dust where they can see it.

In fact, lots of places you can't see also accumulate lots of dust, and it affects the quality of air in your living space.

Dust can accumulate in various places around our homes, and some of the least obvious areas where dust collects include these.

Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures

The tops of ceiling fan blades and light fixtures are often overlooked, but can accumulate a significant amount of dust.

Undersides of Furniture

The undersides of furniture, such as sofas, tables, and chairs, are often forgotten during regular cleaning but can harbor dust.

Behind Appliances

Dust can build up behind large appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and washing machines, especially if there are gaps between the appliance and the wall.

Window Sills and Tracks

Window sills and tracks can trap dust and dirt, especially if windows are frequently opened and closed.

Curtain Rods and Blinds

Dust can accumulate on curtain rods and blinds, particularly on the top side that faces the ceiling.

Decorative Items

Decorative items like picture frames, figurines, and vases can accumulate dust, especially if they have intricate designs or irregular surfaces.

Electronics and Cords

Dust can settle on the surfaces of electronic devices like TVs, computers, and gaming consoles, as well as on cords and cables.
