Three consecutive holidays for Christmas from today. I'm sure many people are about to start cleaning, but where do you start? window? kitchen?

According to the "Fact-finding Survey on General Cleaning and Regular Cleaning" conducted by the NPO Japan House Cleaning Association for 450 housewives in their 30s and 50s, there are places that are often overlooked even in annual general cleaning. .. Where on earth is it? Let's check it out immediately.

First of all, the top 3 "places to be cleaned" are as follows.

■ Top 3 places for housewives to clean up

1st place Window / screen door (79.6%)

2nd place Kitchen ventilation fan (72.9%)

3rd place Bathroom floors, walls and ceilings (55.1%)

This is a convincing result. I have to do it this year as well.

On the other hand, the place that is "not cleaned" is ... Here are the results of the previous survey and the results derived from the "places that cleaning professionals tend to overlook when cleaning housewives" that we asked 87 cleaning professionals.

■ Top 3 places that are often overlooked during general cleaning

1st place Bath chasing piping

2nd place Bathroom ventilation fan

3rd place Toilet ventilation fan

Yes, that's right! All of the above images are from the author's house, but I have never cleaned them ...

In addition, dirt and germs that have fallen from the body circulate along with the hot water in the bathtub, so dirt tends to accumulate in the piping. In addition, it is said that if the ventilation fan is clogged with dust in the bathroom, moisture and mold spores cannot be discharged, and mold is likely to occur. The same applies to the toilet fan.

■ Cleaning is actually easy

For the eviction piping, it is recommended to clean the circulation fittings and filters with a brush on a daily basis, and then wash them regularly with a bath cleaner or oxygen bleach.


Also, it seems that it is different if the ventilation fan cover and filter are removed and washed with water on a daily basis. In the first place, it's a place that should be done more often than general cleaning.


Places that you can't usually see are something that you can't help but lose consciousness. How about attacking from these three places for this year's general cleaning?



The subjects of the survey are 450 housewives in their 30s and 50s who clean at least once a month and do a big cleaning at the end of the year. The survey period is from September 9th to September 14th. The survey method is via the Internet.
