Even with the best intentions, common cleaning mistakes can make your home dirtier—or damage your surfaces. Here are six mistakes to avoid.
1. Using Too Much Cleaning Product
More isn’t better. Excess soap creates residue that attracts dirt. Always follow recommended amounts.
2. Cleaning Windows on a Sunny Day
Sunlight dries cleaner too quickly, leaving streaks. Instead, clean windows on a cloudy day.
3. Scrubbing Stains Aggressively
Scrubbing can push stains deeper into fabric or carpet fibers. Instead, blot gently with a clean cloth.
4. Ignoring High-Touch Surfaces
Light switches, doorknobs, and remote controls are germ hotspots. Disinfect them regularly.
5. Forgetting to Clean Your Cleaning Tools
Sponges, mops, and vacuum filters harbor bacteria if not cleaned. Wash or replace them frequently.
6. Neglecting Ventilation
Using strong chemicals without airflow can affect air quality. Always open windows or use fans.
Takeaway: Avoiding these mistakes keeps your home cleaner and healthier.
