When it comes to cleaning, most people focus on the obvious: floors, worktops, desks and washrooms. But whether it’s a busy family home or a high-traffic office, there are hidden corners quietly gathering dust, germs and even pests.
At Busy Bee Clean, we specialise in both regular domestic cleaning and professional deep cleaning services for homes and businesses across London. Our experienced cleaners tackle these forgotten spots as part of a routine clean or a thorough one-off deep clean — so your property always looks its best and stays hygienic.
Here are seven places most people forget to clean — and how regular visits from Busy Bee Clean keep them fresh and safe.
Heavy appliances like fridges, washing machines or office printers rarely get moved, but crumbs, spills and dust gather fast underneath. This hidden mess attracts pests and can even create bad smells. Our team carefully shifts appliances as part of our deep cleaning service, clearing every hidden corner. Regular domestic or office cleaning can keep these areas tidy before they become a problem.
One local café in North London struggled with an unexplained odour. Our deep clean revealed leftover food debris behind a commercial fridge — smell gone, hygiene restored!
These tiny high-contact areas are touched countless times every day at home and in workplaces — but hardly ever wiped down. This makes them prime breeding grounds for germs. Our cleaners disinfect switches, handles and other touchpoints on every visit, reducing the spread of bacteria and viruses. Regular domestic or office cleaning means these spots are never neglected.
Dust loves edges and corners, which is why skirting boards quickly collect grime and pet hair. Many homeowners and businesses don’t notice until they look closely — and by then, it’s quite a job! With our routine cleaning, we wipe and polish baseboards so rooms always look crisp and well-kept. A professional deep clean tackles built-up dirt for an instant refresh.
High fixtures are easy to forget until you spot the cobwebs or sneeze from falling dust. In commercial properties, neglected vents and fans can harm indoor air quality. We bring the right tools to safely dust and clean ceiling fans, light shades and vents. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup, while a seasonal deep clean ensures a healthier space for families, staff and visitors alike.
Few people like scrubbing behind the toilet — it’s awkward and tight. Yet this spot harbours hidden stains and bacteria if left too long. Our cleaners get right behind and around toilets, scrubbing and disinfecting thoroughly. Consistent domestic cleaning keeps bathrooms fresh, while a deep clean can restore neglected washrooms in both homes and offices.
Cupboards hide crumbs, spills and sticky patches no one sees — until pests move in or an odd smell appears. In offices, break room cabinets often suffer the same fate with leaky milk cartons and coffee spills. As part of a deep clean, we empty and wipe cupboards inside and out. Regular cleaning stops mess from building up in the first place.
Air vents and extractor fans quietly trap dust, grease and allergens — which can make breathing harder and even pose fire risks in commercial kitchens. Our deep cleaning service includes clearing out vents and fans to boost air quality and safety. Keep them in check with regular maintenance cleans too — your lungs (and insurance company) will thank you!
We go beyond surface tidying. From regular domestic cleaning to one-off deep cleaning, we tackle the spots you can’t see or don’t have time for — in your home, office, school or commercial premises.
Real impact: One London property manager was fed up with tenant complaints about musty air and hidden dust. Our team’s deep clean, followed by regular visits, turned those complaints into compliments — and boosted their property’s reputation.
