Below are the mistakes that many women still make when cleaning the house. Take a look and quickly make changes if you don’t want to buy all new household appliances.
1. Clean the glass whenever you see fingerprints
Spraying water on the glass multiple times will cause the glass surface to corrode faster than its lifespan. So, you should stop rushing to get glass cleaner as soon as you see fingerprints. It is best to clean the glass 1-2 times per week if it is not too dirty.
2. Pour cleaning solution directly on fabric
Stains on heavily soiled clothes should be removed as soon as possible, but do not pour cleaning solution directly on the fabric. The cleaning solutions will make the stains penetrate and stick to the fabric faster, not only failing to remove the stains but also causing the fabric to discolor and deteriorate quickly. It is best to wash according to the instructions on the product packaging.
3. Clean messy table surface
Cleaning the kitchen tabletop should be done daily, but it should not be cleaned too often, as it can cause the protective coating on the tabletop to peel off, making it more difficult to clean next time. If the table is too dirty, only clean the dirt at the point it adheres to and do not clean too regularly. It is best to clean the kitchen tabletop once a day.
4. Clean wooden floors regularly
If your house has beautiful and expensive wooden floors, there is no need to scrub them regularly as it will cause the surface coating of the wooden floors to wear off. Using floor cleaner to clean the floor will make the water penetrate the wood faster, leading to damage. You just need to keep the floor clean and reduce activities that make the floor get dirty.
5. Wash clothes immediately after wearing them
It is obvious that clothes should be washed immediately after each wear. However, for certain types of fabric, there is no need to put them in the washing machine after each wear because frequent washing can quickly degrade the fabric. Sports clothes, T-shirts, tight pants, or dirty-stained clothes should be washed after wearing, otherwise they will easily develop odors and mold.
6. Use vacuum cleaner to suck up hair whenever you see it
There are many ways to collect fallen hair, and you should not use a vacuum cleaner to clean up hair every time you see it. If not, the hair can get tangled and block the vacuum cleaner. It is best to use a broom to sweep away those strands of hair.
7. Use fabric softener on rough towels
Fabric softener is a widely used item, but do not use concentrated fabric softener on rough towels. This will cause the fabric to lose its shape and original structure, and also reduce the absorbency of the towel. If you really want to use fabric softener, you should dilute it first.
8. Clean quartz stone with lemon juice and vinegar
Various surfaces in the house made of quartz stone, whether it is a countertop or tiles, should not be cleaned with vinegar and lemon juice. Although both materials have properties that help remove stains, they contain acid that can corrode the quartz stone, leading to damage and discoloration.
9. Clean glass doors during intense sunlight
Cleaning glass doors during sunny weather will help kill germs, but in reality, we should never clean the glass at that time because the high temperature will cause the glass surface to dry too quickly and easily scratch.
10. Clean electronic screens with paper towels
If you use rough paper towels to clean electronic screens, it may cause scratches. It is best to switch to a small piece of cloth soaked in alcohol for disinfection and cleaning, which will make it much cleaner and without scratches.
