Mad cleaning question

I am having a major op soon and my go-to displacement activity is cleaning. So bear with a bit of craziness on this thread, I am trying not to think about dying under the knife. 😆

You know those tiny gaps besides and underneath appliances? How do you clean them? They are too small to get a hoover crevice tool into. I can't get a cloth in either. I don't really want to move the whole appliance as - due to aforementioned need for surgery - I can't really move anything heavy right now.

Please help me stay in my cleaning bubble!

Pipe cleaners, you'll get all different sizes on Amazon. Just search pipe cleaners for cleaning.

Cleaning is never my go-to activity but, if I was thinking about it, I have a thing for cleaning behind radiators which is fairly flat and covered in a microfibre cloth. If that was too thick, I might try a swiffer cloth wrapped around a palette knife.

Good luck with the operation Flowers

I put a dish cloth over a sharp knife and use the edge to clean the 'gap'

Best wishes for your big op, hope it all goes well for you and a quick (as poss) recovery
