You vacuum, wipe down counters, and scrub the sink—but what about the forgotten zones? Even the tidiest homes have spots that get overlooked. At Keely’s Cleaning Crew, we never skip the details. Here are five areas we always hit that most people miss: 1️⃣ Baseboards and Trim They collect dust, pet hair, and scuff marks faster than you’d think. A quick swipe doesn’t cut it—we scrub them clean so your floors and walls look fresh and finished. 2️⃣ Light Switches and Door Handles These high-touch surfaces harbor germs but rarely get cleaned. We disinfect them thoroughly during every visit to keep your home healthier. 3️⃣ Ceiling Fans and Vents Out of sight, out of mind—but not for us. We dust fan blades and clean air vents to reduce allergens and improve airflow. 4️⃣ Under Furniture Crumbs, hairballs, toys—yep, it all ends up under the couch. We move what’s safe to move and vacuum where others won’t. 5️⃣ Trash Cans (Yes, the Inside!) It’s not enough to take out the trash. We clean and disinfect the inside of the bin so odors don’t linger and bacteria doesn’t build up. 🎯 Why Details Matter The difference between a surface clean and a deep clean is in the places you don’t see right away. We pride ourselves on leaving no corner untouched—because that’s what real clean looks like. 📍 Serving Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln, and surrounding areas — Keely’s Cleaning Crew gets the dirt others leave behind.
