Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans should be cleaned every other month.
Baseboards
Vacuum up hair, dust, and debris using a horsehair-brush attachment.
Shower Heads
Shower heads should be wiped down at least once every two weeks and deserve a deep clean twice a year. Pour one-half cup each vinegar and water into a quart zip-lock bag, then place the shower head inside the bag, twisting a hair elastic or rubber band around the bag and the pipe behind the head to hold the bag in place. Let the shower head soak for at least 10 minutes, then remove the bag, scrub, rinse, and wipe down.
Inside the Washer and Dryer
Mold, mildew, and lint can build up inside a washer and dryer. Run an empty cycle with a quarter-cup of bleach. Attention should be paid to the rubber seals around the washer door. Clean the dryer's lint trap after each use to prevent odors and lessen the risk of fire.
Dishwasher
Place a small dish filled with a cup of white vinegar in the top rack and run an empty cycle with hot water; open the door afterward to let it air-dry.
Refrigerator coils
Cleaning your refrigerator coils can improve its efficiency. Most new refrigerators hide the coils behind a metal plate in the back that has to be unscrewed. Loosen the dust with the brush and then suck it out with the [vacuum's] crevice tool.
