Are you making cleaning mistakes? You might be. Whether you’re a professional house cleaner or whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer, sometimes we all make cleaning mistakes. But if you know what they are, maybe you won’t make them. However, some homeowners afraid of making cleaning mistakes. Since they haven’t been trained professionally, they might doubt of doing certain things and have no idea how they supposed to do or clean the house without any mistakes. Even they have a family but none of the family members get really involved in the household chores.
Here are a few cleaning mistakes that people make.
#1 Not involving family members.
The family should be involved in all the chores because if you let the chores pile up and build up, it becomes overwhelming for one person to try to do. Everybody should learn how to make their beds, clean up after themselves, pick up their clothes, pick up their toys, pick up their shoes, wipe down the counter after they’ve brushed their teeth, combed their hair and used the shaving gel. Everybody should learn how to take their dishes to the kitchen sink, and maybe rinse them off and put them in the dish drainer, or put them in the dishwasher. Always involve family members in house chores.
#2 Letting chores build up.
Since we just mentioned that everybody supposed to take their dishes to the kitchen sink. So, does food evaporates if you just set your plates inside the sink? No, food does not evaporate, the water evaporates from food and food sticks to the dishes. Now instead of just rinsing off, which would have really easy at the moment, it becomes very difficult and you got to grab a sponge, and you got to put soap on it, and you use a lot more soap and a lot more water and a lot more elbow grease to try to get that dish clean after it has all that dried food on it. If you just rinse it off as you go, boom, it’s done. That’s easy. Don’t let chores pile up.
#3 Cleaning too hard.
What? Who cleans too hard? It’s really amazing because people want to do right by their families. They like to have clean, sanitary environments, so people will clean a cupboard, for example, and they just keep cleaning it, keep cleaning it, keep cleaning it. When it’s clean, it’s clean. A cleaning mistake you might be making is you are over cleaning. Or you vacuum the floor and now the floor is vacuumed, and you just keep vacuuming and vacuuming and vacuuming. When you’re done, you’re done. There’s only so much you can do. Or when you are boiling water, once it rises to a certain degree, it doesn’t boil anymore. It’s already bubbling and it starts evaporating. You don’t need to keep boiling it. It doesn’t boil the water anymore. It’s the same with cleaning. You don’t keep cleaning something that’s already clean.
