WHEN cleaning your home, there are certain areas that require a little bit more attention than others.

New York City-based professional organizer Caroline Solomon has revealed what these areas are - adding that you should be cleaning them at least once a week.

VACUUM FLOORS

In her TikTok video, Solomon started by urging people to vacuum their hard surface floors.

Keeping up with this task prevents build-up and keeps your floors scratch-free.

TOILET BOWL

When cleaning your toilet bowl, Solomon advised that you pour half a cup of vinegar in the toilet bowl and around the rim, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then scrub away.

"Make sure to scrub underneath the rim," she noted.

When done cleaning, you should flush your toilet with the brush underneath the running water to cleanse it, and let it dry before putting it back in the toilet brush holder.

WASH SHEETS

"To kill germs and bacteria, wash sheets in warm water," the cleaning expert instructed.
