When it comes to cleaning, we’ve all got our quirks and routines. But have you ever stopped to think about how some of your go-to habits might actually be doing more harm than good?
Well, if not, it’s finally time to dust off those old practices and reassess. From neglecting deep cleaning to overdoing it with cleaning products, here are some of the most common cleaning habits you might want to reconsider. Trust us, your home will thank you.
The Deep Clean Dilemma
Neglecting deep cleans is like ignoring that one drawer full of random items– eventually, it needs attention.
Sure, surface cleaning keeps things looking presentable, but what about the grime lurking in all of those unseen corners?
By putting off deep cleans, you will be left with a buildup of dust, allergens, and bacteria, making your home a breeding ground for sneezes and sniffles.
The solution? Schedule a deep clean session every few months. Yes, this means moving your furniture, getting into those nooks and crannies, and maybe even tackling that dreaded junk drawer.
Using Way Too Many Cleaning Products
Walking down the cleaning aisle can be overwhelming when there’s a product for every conceivable purpose. However, using too many products, or worse, mixing them, can be counterproductive and even dangerous.
