With time and use, our house can end up not only discolored but also full of dust and dirt. Many times we forget to carefully clean every corner and the longer we overlook those little details, the more we start noticing just how much our favorite places lose that special touch, light, and color that made them so great. Before the dust, they had this specific shine that we liked so much but fortunately, there is nothing that can escape looking like new after a good cleaning.

Bright Side wants to invite you to see how some places change after being washed with care.

1. “Cleaned my grandmother’s oven yesterday. The before and after feel so nice! (She’s 96, so be kind about the before photo.)”
