A typical cleaning session at home consists of cleaning dust, wiping down the stove, sanitizing the bathroom, and washing the floor. Sometimes we pay attention to smaller details and clean lamps and radiators. But more often than not, we overlook these things and the coziness of our place disappears over time.

The Bright Side team has made a list of 17 things to look at when you need to determine if your place is really clean or not. If you pay attention to these small things every time you clean, you’ll see a huge improvement in how your place feels.

1. Kitchen surfaces will remain as good as new if you quickly wash them with a cloth immediately after you cook anything.

11. Balconies are often cluttered with useless stuff. Instead, you can turn it into an office or a gym.
