The "Home Hacks Queen" shared three places people often forget to clean inside their homes.

Carolina McCauley, a mother of two with over one million followers on social media, shared a video in late November that had more than 600,000 views.

According to McCauley, the first overlooked spot is the sink drain. In the video, she appears to clean a sink drain with dish soap and baking soda.

In the video, McCauley said " Inside your drains". If left unattended, this can get very nasty.

The range hood filters are typically found above kitchen stovetops. The range hood filters help remove airborne grease and smoke from the kitchen, so the space has the potential to get quite dirty.

Carolina McCauley suggested that homeowners clean their range hood filters.

The video showed McCauley soaking the range hood filters in water. She said that people should clean their filters every fortnight or two weeks.

She said to clean the space at least once a month. In a separate TikTok video, McCauley said to rinse the filter under warm water, scrub the filter's holder clean, and re- install the filter to keep the washing machine smelling fresh.

The washing machine filter needs to be cleaned at least once a month.

Insider previously reported that sink faucets are often overlooked while cleaning.

The areas where you turn on the air conditioning are disgusting because your hands are dirty when you turn them on, and then the handle is still dirty after you turn it off.

Mills said that people should use a general multi- surface cleaner like Microban 24, which she said is mainly used for mold.

Microban 24's Sanitizing Spray and Multi-Purpose Cleaner were approved by the EPA to kill coronaviruses. These products are on sale for $9 and $12 on Amazon.
