When you own a home in Toronto you want to make sure that it is clean and comfortable as often as possible. There are numerous mistakes many homeowners make when it comes to keeping their house clean. Below are some of the most common ones and some suggestions on how to avoid them.
Assuming more cleaning solution is better.
There are plenty of products that are advertised to be ‘better’ or ‘improved’ over previous versions or even competitor brands. These are empty and hollow words that really mean nothing. Far too many homeowners assume that certain products are simply better than others because of their concentration levels or chemicals used.
It’s a good idea to focus on safe and healthy cleaning chemicals for every purpose within your home, first and foremost. When you choose a particular cleaning solution, use only the recommended amount. Using more than what’s recommended is not going to clean better and will only create a bigger mess.
Forgetting to dust before vacuuming.
Many people take out the vacuum and run it over the carpeting when they start cleaning. Then they set out to dust. When you dust coffee tables, shells, and anything else after you vacuum, all you’re doing is kicking that dust up into the air where it will settle eventually back into the carpeting.
Basically, you haven’t clean much at all.
Not using all of the versatility your vacuum cleaner offers.
Today’s vacuum cleaners generally come with a wide range of attachments. They are intended to help you clean in the corners of rooms, under radiator baseboards, upholstery, fabrics, and much more. Use them all to your advantage. Use those attachments to clean ceiling fans, windowsills, draperies, the couch, molding, and everything else.
Spraying furniture polish onto furniture directly.
You may have furniture polish and a habit of spraying it directly onto the furniture itself. This causes the solution to get on the walls, electronics, and everything else as well. Spray the polish into a microfiber or terrycloth towel and then apply it to the furniture directly. This will help to protect other furniture items or objects in the room when you clean.
