Here is a list of my frequent must cleans:
- toothbrush holder
- area behind faucets in bathroom and kitchen sinks
- under rims of pots and pans and where handle is attached to utensil
- Use a toothbrush for all of the above
When cleaning windows, don't forget:
- screen tracks - take screens outside or put into bathtub, spray with warm water and household cleaner; clean screen and track with scrub brush
- rinse with garden hose or Shower Massage if you have one
Wipe door and window screens often as they collect dust, dirt and pollen
Inside of medicine chest
Dust tops of doors and door frames - they collect dust too
Vacuum furniture every few weeks
You need not turn into a workhorse or become compulsive about cleaning, but these few tips will help keep your home clean and cut down on allergies.

I live in Scotland so don't often have nice days to have the windows open so when it is nice they get thrown open along with the patio doors and fresh air literally blows through the house. Worth wearing an extra sweater just to get the freshness in. Great tips
