Housekeeping… *sigh* Everyone does it, but not everyone does it well. In this blog, we list some common household mistakes ánd give you some tips to avoid them next time.
Using too much detergent
One of the most common household mistakes is thinking that “more” also means “better. The right dose of detergent will ensure clean results, but if you use too much, it can leave a sticky film that actually attracts more dirt. Therefore, always follow the recommended dosage on the package.
Wanting to do everything at once
Completely clean your house in 1 day? Sounds like a dream, but it’s unrealistic. Divide your tasks and keep everything organized with an efficient cleaning schedule.
Using the wrong products
Are you using an all-purpose cleaner on natural stone or bleach in the kitchen? Oy! Certain surfaces require specific products. Ask yourself carefully what is allowed and what is not.
Using microfiber wipes incorrectly
Never wash microfiber cloths with fabric softener because they will lose their effectiveness. Use them dry or slightly damp to pick up dust.
Forgotten details
Be sure not to lose sight of the most important contact points and forgotten spots: door handles, light switches, remote controls, the tops of cabinets, …
Not enough washing of bedding and towels
Sweat, dander and bacteria accumulate in your sheets and towels. To feel fresh and hygienic, it is best to wash your bed linens weekly and towels every 3 turns.
No ventilation during brushing
Without fresh air, cleaning fumes linger in the room. Good ventilation also allows surfaces to dry faster.
Tip: Use ecological cleaning agents such as probiotic agents that are safe for your health.
No maintenance of polishing equipment
A dirty mop or brush won’t clean anything. Rinse the equipment thoroughly after each cleaning session and replace old cleaning equipment in a timely manner.
