I'm a professional cleaner and certain cleaning errors make your home dirtier
With summer drawing to a close, many households will be preparing to return to their usual routines, which often start with a deep clean of their homes.
TL;DR
- Failing to clean cleaning equipment like brushes, towels, and vacuums means dirt is reapplied to surfaces.
- Cleaning from bottom to top causes dust and debris to fall onto already cleaned lower surfaces.
- Using excessive cleaning products leaves residue, making surfaces sticky, streaky, or dull.
- Keeping washing machine doors closed after use traps moisture, leading to odors and buildup; leave them open to air out.
