How Often Should You REALLY Be Cleaning These 10 Things?
Because if you’re wiping your counters daily but forgetting #7, you’re not alone…
We get it — there are a million cleaning checklists online. But very few are made for **real life in Colorado homes** (dust, pets, dry air, and all).
Here’s our no-fluff, pro-recommended list of how often you should actually be cleaning the stuff that gets gross fast — and the stuff you might be forgetting.
- 1. Kitchen Sponge: Every 3–5 days or microwave for 2 minutes daily
- 2. Ceiling Fans: Every 2–3 weeks (Colorado = dust magnets)
- 3. Bathroom Sink Drain: Once a week (hair + toothpaste = gunk)
- 4. Light Switches & Door Knobs: Weekly, especially during cold season
- 5. Inside Microwave: Weekly — food splatter = bacteria bomb
- 6. Baseboards: Monthly (or more if you have pets or allergies)
- 7. Garbage Disposal: Every 1–2 weeks with citrus + baking soda
- 8. Shower Curtain Liner: Monthly (mold loves this spot)
- 9. Air Vents & Returns: Every 1–2 months (dust + airflow matters)
- 10. Under Couch Cushions: Quarterly (popcorn, pet hair, life happens)
