It's officially spring, and it comes cleaning the nooks and crannies around the home and inviting the sunshine in after the cold and wet winter months.
Now that the weather is slowly turning to the warmer side, people are getting rid of the things they don't need to make more space, and one of the ways is to sell unwanted goods on Gumtree. Having extra cash in your pocket for the start of the season is always nice.
Like having your hair done, a clean house can make you feel good and bring a sense of positivity. Many people also use an air purifying/humidifier machine to clean the air from any allergens. A clean home leaves fewer places for germs and bacteria to hide.

Gumtree lists (a good couple) of household items that get the dirtiest, the quickest:
Kitchen sink - This was always going to be at the top of the list and sees the majority of foot traffic in the house because that's where the good stuff is. A kitchen is rarely left clean for too long because there are always somehow dirty dishes or utensils waiting to be washed.
Bedding - While some people prefer to watch movies in the lounge, others prefer to be in the warmth of their beds with snacks not too far away. The latter somehow always includes chocolate and chips, and those luxuries can stain bedding. It can easily be washed by hand or popped into the machine.
TV remote - What is the thing most of us do to relax? Watch TV. That being said, the remote is often changing hands, and those hands can often be fatty or sticky. Please avoid using liquids to clean as it can cause internal damage to the remote. A quick wipe-down with a disinfectant wipe is sufficient and will have it look in top shape again.
Pet bowl - Pet owners will know that their furry friends are neverminded regarding possessions and carry on as usual. One of those possessions is the bowl they eat out of. Water and pieces of food can often be found all over the place and constantly needs to be wiped down and kept clean/dry.
Window blinds - Dust accumulates very quickly and in very compact places, like on top of the cupboard, behind the TV, and on window blinds. The latter has to be cleaned regularly because it is in direct contact with the outside. Most people have aluminium or wooden blinds in their homes, and they should be cleaned atleast once a month.
