any nooks or crannies
Small concealed spots
Any nooks or crannies refers to every small, hidden, or out-of-the-way space—the corners, crevices, and overlooked spots where things might be tucked away or where dirt accumulates.
The phrase typically appears with verbs of searching or cleaning: I searched every nook and cranny for my keys, She dusted all the nooks and crannies.
