Since the pandemic began, our houses are much cleaner than before. We spend more time at home, and we value much more that it is clean, beautiful and comfortable. Even so, and despite the fact that we are tired of organizing cabinets, of buying accessories to organize the kitchen, and we are tired of looking for cleaning tricks, the truth is that in many homes mistakes are still being made when it comes to cleaning. Errors that do not help at all to have a clean house, and that we should banish as soon as possible.
The cleaning habits that you should banish
Cleaning without order or concert. In many houses it is cleaned without following an order. And it is a tremendous mistake. To start with, you have to always clean from top to bottom. Because it is useless to sweep the floor or clean the low furniture if we then make the dust fall from the shelves or the lamps.
Change dust rags regularly. Think about it… When was the last time you changed the dust rag? It seems that these wipes are free to get dirty or collect bacteria without interruption. But no, those cloths are not immortal, and in fact, they have to be changed from time to time. The same thing happens with the brush, the mop, or the mop.
A cloth for everything Do you have a single cloth for the toilet, the sink or the shower? Mistake. If you use the same cloth for everything, you will be spreading bacteria from one item to another. So now you know, have a cloth ready for everything.

Apply the product directly on the surface. On the labels they always warn that the cleaning product must be applied to a cloth, and many people apply it directly to the furniture, the table, or whatever surface. The cleaners, always always always on the cloth to avoid residues later or that it costs you more to remove them.
Remove products early. Cleaning is like cooking. It takes your time to see the results. And sometimes, in a hurry, for example, we apply an anti-limescale cleaner in the shower, and give it water in a few seconds. You have to read the instructions for use of each product, see how long they need to act, and respect it if you want to see results.
Don’t use gloves. In a hurry, because you can’t find them, because you can’t manage with them… there are a thousand and one excuses for not wearing gloves when cleaning. But they are (or should be) essential when cleaning to prevent the skin from suffering from chemical cleaning products, but also to avoid contagion.
Clean window panes in the sun. With the heat of the sun, the window cleaning liquids dry faster, so it will cost us more to remove that mist that forms on the windows. So now you know, don’t clean windows in direct sunlight.
