The Things You’re Forgetting to Vacuum
When it’s spring and fall cleaning time, you spend hours reaching the nooks and crannies of your home. You’ve dedicated time to moving furniture out of each room to get even the smallest pieces of dust. You want to be as efficient as possible, and from the outside it would appear that you are.
But even with the strongest Oreck, there are countless places in your home that you’ve overlooked or even forgotten when it comes to cleaning. The following are a list of dust covered places that you should work into your vacuuming routine.
Blinds and Shades
You look out your windows each morning to determine what kind of day it will be. This integral part of your daily routine could become dust central before you even realize it. Clear the accumulated dust and dirt from the blinds, shades and windowsills in your home at least once a month to keep allergens at bay.
Mattress
Many people refer to dogs as man’s best friend. These people are wrong. A good mattress is the friend that will never let you down. But over time dust, dead skin and dust mites can accumulate turning your sweet getaway into a disaster. When it comes time to flip your mattress, lift your lightweight Oreck onto the mattress and clean it before you make the turn.

Foam Pillows
Your trusty foam pillows will not last when they’re run through a washing machine. This doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be cleaned. Use your Oreck vacuums to keep this piece of your nightly routine free from build up.
Closet Floors
If we’re being honest, you probably don’t frequently run your Oreck through your closet. However, this can end up being one of the dirtiest parts of your home due to the dust and mud that you track in with your shoes. At the end of each season, you should pull the shoes out of your closet and clean up the mess you’ve made.
Dryer Lint Trap
If you’ve got a vacuum with a hose on it, take the time to vacuum out your dryer lint trap. When lint builds up, it increases the amount of time it takes to dry your clothes. Cleaning this corner of your home will save you money by lessening the energy you need to use on laundry day.
For anyone who appreciates an extremely clean home, these keys can be exactly what it takes to keep your home immaculate no matter the season.
