When you enter a home, a neat appearance may mask underlying grime. To distinguish between a home that’s simply tidied up and one that’s thoroughly cleaned, look for subtle signs. Check corners, behind doors, and under furniture, where dust and debris often accumulate, revealing areas that may have been overlooked. Strong scents from air fresheners or candles might cover up unpleasant odors, such as from dirty carpets or pet areas. A truly clean home will have a fresh, natural scent. Also, dust on shelves, electronics, or light fixtures signals infrequent cleaning. Running your finger over these surfaces can expose layers of dust, indicating that the home hasn’t been properly maintained.
