Don’t be fooled by how clean a house looks at first glance. Just because a place is neat doesn’t mean it’s been cleaned completely. A simple cleaning job can sometimes hide bigger problems. Please pay attention to these eight minor signs that show if dirt and grime have been missed to tell the difference between a truly clean home and one that has just been cleaned up.

A dirty home is easy to spot because of the dust that builds up in corners and other hard-to-reach places. These places, like under furniture or along walls, are often forgotten when cleaning quickly. If dirt or dust is building up in these places, it means the house hasn’t been deep cleaned.
