Avoid These Cleaning Habits

By Kyle Matthews Mar 23, 2022 | 9:43 AM

It’s that time of the year to do some spring cleaning and I found some cleaning habits you should avoid. I’ve got friends coming into town next weekend and of course I’ll be cleaning my house next week to make sure it’s as clean as possible. I’ll be implementing some of these for sure!

  1. Don’t go overboard with cleaning products. Excess from the cleaning products can form a residue that could actually trap dirt and dust.
  2. Dusting, don’t do it last. You should be cleaning from top to bottom so dusting would happen somewhere in the middle, leaving the floors last.
  3. Using a dirt sponge/rag is only going to spread bacteria.
  4. Don’t overload your dishwasher. If it’s overloaded it can cause the mechanisms inside to not function properly even if you are trying to save on water.
