It's easy to develop some bad habits when it comes to cleaning, and they can make your home messier and dirtier instead of cleaner. So what are these habits? How can we get rid of these habits?
These habits make it difficult to clean something properly, which causes cleaning and tidying up to take more time rather than less. That's why it's important to get rid of bad cleaning habits as soon as possible!
Stop doing these eight things right now!
1. Using too many cleaning products
One drop of dish soap is enough to clean all your dishes. You can also damage your washing machine by using too much laundry detergent. If you use too many multi-purpose cleaners on your counters or floors, you may not dilute the product enough and leave a greasy soap film behind. In turn, this attracts more dirt and dust.
2. Cleaning with dirty tools
You can't expect clean results when using dirty tools, can you? If you're using a dirty sponge, mop, or cloth, you're only spreading more bacteria into your home than cleaning them. Vacuuming doesn't do much good either when your vacuum cleaner bag is full or the filter needs replacing. Make sure your tools are also clean before you start cleaning
3. Using a wet cleaning cloth for the whole room
Theoretically, disposable cleaning cloths are very useful, but such a small wipe is definitely not enough to clean a large surface. You can clean a small sink with it, but no more than that. If you are using these wipes, be sure to remove a new one as soon as you start cleaning something new. Still, it's even better to use regular wipes and cloths instead of disposables. This is much better for both the environment and your bank account.
4. Leaving the dishes in the sink
If you have a dishwasher, why do you leave your dishes in the sink? Make it a habit to put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher right away. Don't have a dishwasher? Then it's a good idea to wash the dishes after every meal. Dirty dishes attract vermin and bacteria spread faster.
5. Not taking off your shoes
It only takes a few moments to take off your shoes as soon as you get home, and it makes a huge difference when it comes to dirt and dust in your home. That way, you can limit your vacuuming to once or twice a week instead of every day or every other day.
6. NO PAPER
Even in this digital age, we are often left with piles and piles of paper that no one is looking at: magazines, newspapers, brochures, and other blank papers. Don't pile these up on a desk or cupboard for less! Place some kind of box in your hallway where you keep important letters and bills. Also, make a stack of waste paper next to this box and be sure to remove it every week.
7. Not letting the shower curtain dry
Shower curtains get moldy very quickly if they get wet. That's why it's important to always close the curtain as soon as your shower is over so it can dry properly and not stay damp inside the folds. Same way; Do not leave wet towels piled on the floor, let them dry thoroughly before throwing them in the basket. Thus, you will prevent the formation of bad odor and mold.
. Postponement
Finally, the biggest mistake we all make from time to time: putting off our cleaning chores for so long that it will take more time when we finally get it done. Try cleaning a little each day so you don't have to do it all at once at the weekend.
