5 Spots Everyone Forgets When Deep-Cleaning a Montréal Apartment

After cleaning Montréal homes since 2016, we've learned that a place can look spotless and still hide a few neglected corners. When our teams do a deep clean, these are the first five spots we check — and the ones most people miss between visits.

1. The top of the kitchen cabinets

If your cabinets don't reach the ceiling, the flat tops collect a sticky film of cooking grease and dust that's invisible from below. A microfibre cloth with a little degreaser, once a season, keeps it from building into something you need a scraper for.

2. Behind and under the fridge

The coils behind your fridge gather dust that makes the motor work harder — and the floor underneath hides crumbs that attract pests. Pull it out twice a year, vacuum the coils, and mop underneath.

3. Light switches, handles and remotes

These are the most-touched, least-cleaned surfaces in any home. A quick wipe with a disinfecting cloth during your weekly clean makes a real difference, especially through cold-and-flu season.

4. The shower track and grout lines

Sliding-door tracks and tile grout hold moisture and grow mildew quietly. An old toothbrush and a baking-soda paste lift it before it stains. In a recurring clean, we keep these in check so they never reach that point.

5. Baseboards and door frames

Dust settles on every horizontal ledge, and baseboards frame the whole room — clean baseboards make a space read as genuinely cared-for. They're the detail guests never name but always feel.

None of this is complicated; it just takes knowing where to look. And if you'd rather not think about it at all, that's what we're here for — the same team, every visit, checking the spots you'd forget.
