We all know the basics—dishes, laundry, maybe a quick vacuum—but if you think that’s enough to keep your home fresh, think again! According to cleaning pros, there are some overlooked spots that need attention every single week. Neglect them, and you might be living with more dust, grime, and bacteria than you realize!
Grab your favorite cleaning tools from Lola Products and let’s tackle these sneaky culprits.
1. The Kitchen Sink – It’s Dirtier Than You Think
You rinse plates and wash your hands there, so it must be clean, right? Nope! Your kitchen sink is a breeding ground for bacteria, especially around the drain and faucet. A quick scrub with Wonder Scourer Non-Scratch Scouring Pad and a disinfecting wipe-down will keep things fresh. Bonus tip: Pour boiling water down the drain once a week to prevent buildup!
2. Sponges & Dish Brushes – Don’t Let Them Become Science Experiments
Speaking of cleaning tools, when’s the last time you washed your sponge or dish brush? These little warriors absorb food particles and bacteria like crazy. Microwave a damp sponge for 30 seconds or toss it in the dishwasher. And if it’s past its prime, swap it out for a fresh Pot Brite Scour N' Sponge.
3. Light Switches & Door Handles – The Most Touched, Least Cleaned Surfaces
Think about it—how many times a day do you flip a light switch or grab a doorknob? Now imagine how many people in your house do the same… and how rarely they get cleaned. Yikes! A quick wipe with an Anti-Microbial Clean n' Wipe Cloths will keep germs in check.
4. Remote Controls – A Bacteria Wonderland
Your TV remote goes from the couch to your hands to the floor and back again, collecting crumbs, dust, and who knows what else. Use a damp Jumbo Microfiber cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol to wipe it down once a week. If you have kids, you might want to do this daily—trust us!
5. Bathroom Fixtures – More Than Just a Pretty Shine
Toothpaste splatters, water spots, and soap scum can build up fast. Give your faucets, shower handles, and toilet flush levers a weekly scrub with Iron Handled Scrubber to keep everything sparkling and germ-free.
6. Your Phone – The One Thing You Touch More Than Anything Else
You take it everywhere—to the bathroom (we see you), to the kitchen, even to bed. But how often do you actually clean it? A quick wipe with a Anti-Microbial Clean n' Wipe Cloths and a spray of alcohol solution will help keep those germs from hitching a ride.
7. The Floor Under Your Furniture – Out of Sight, Out of Mind?
If you’re only vacuuming the open areas, you’re missing so much dust. Move your couch, chairs, and tables once a week to tackle the hidden debris. A Flexible Dust Mop makes this job way easier, getting into those hard-to-reach spots without breaking your back.
Final Thoughts: A Cleaner Home, One Weekly Task at a Time

Now go forth and clean—your home (and immune system) will thank you! 🧼✨
