"The post includes a photo of the stovetop, followed by a contrasting photo taken from a much lower angle, showing the children's view. The lower view shows the underside of the hood, which still needed to be cleaned. We've covered common cleaning mistakes before, but this one is often overlooked. Even if you regularly clean and polish your range hood, you can still appreciate the sentiment."
"It's easy enough to look down and see the fronts of cupboards and drawers, and the floor as well. But until you actually get down onto that level, you don't really know what you're missing out on. The lower lip of counters and drawers, handles, and cupboards can all hide grimy surprises you wouldn't think of until you're down there."
"If you have small kids in your house, or someone with mobility issues in a wheelchair, it's always good to get down on their level, not just to see what you're overlooking, but to see what's easily accessible to them. Handprints and smudges that are in their line of sight can be everywhere, so that the whole world might look that way from their perspective."
A stovetop photographed from a child's eye level can reveal the underside of the hood and other low areas that seem clean from adult height. Undersides of cupboards, lower lips of counters, drawer edges, handles, and tops of appliances commonly collect grime that taller people or routine cleaners miss. People closer to the ground notice handprints and smudges that dominate their view. Getting down to a child's or wheelchair user's level exposes what is visible and accessible to them. Adjusting cleaning routines to include low and high vantage points improves thoroughness and accessibility.
