Keeping the house clean is a daily task for housewives all over the world. Such a simple and at the same time complex task. Some housewives quickly cope with cleaning and easily maintain cleanliness throughout the week, while others, on the contrary, spend a lot of time putting things in order, but the result is not satisfactory. Dust-free shelves, a perfectly clean kitchen and bathroom, comfort in the bedroom - this is the ideal picture for every normal person. Achieving this is very simple - you just need to avoid six things that will negate all efforts to clean your home.
Correct procedure
The result of even the most general cleaning can be upsetting if the correct procedure has been violated.
It is probably rare for anyone to think about what to do first - wipe off the dust or wash the floor. The importance lies in the consequences of actions. First you need to remove the main dirt and debris, then vacuum.
After using a vacuum cleaner, wipe off the dust from the surfaces, after which you can treat the furniture with polish - this will prevent dust from sticking to the varnished surface.
The final stage of cleaning the house is washing the floors. If there are carpets in the house, take the time to roll them up and wash the floor underneath them. You can cover it after drying. It is advisable to wash with any antibacterial agent intended for the floor.
Vacuum cleaner with a clogged filter
This type of household appliance is an indispensable assistant for removing dust and debris. He actually does this very effectively. However, many housewives neglect to clean the parts of this unit or think that cleaning the vacuum cleaner once a month is enough. This is the biggest misconception, since dirty filters are doing a worse job of removing dust each time.
It is necessary to wash the filter system after each cleaning, regardless of whether you use a regular vacuum cleaner or a washing one. If this is not done, then cleaning equipment will turn into a breeding ground for germs. At the same time, you must not forget to rinse the filter through which the purified air comes out with ordinary running water; the suction power of dust and dirt depends on it.
After washing, dry all the parts and your assistant is ready for work again. A washed vacuum cleaner with a clean filtration system will protect your home, and most importantly your lungs, from microscopic particles and bacteria.
Using a pipidastra (broom for sweeping away dust)
Of course, it's great for removing dust from delicate items that can be damaged by a sponge or washcloth. Or embossed things with hard-to-reach hollows.
When using such a broom, dust is brushed off objects and actively scatters in the air, thus settling on surfaces and walls. In this case, it is better to wash things with water and detergent and this way you will achieve a more effective result for a long time.
If it is still not possible to wash the figurine or vase, then after using the broom you need to wipe the nearby cleaning areas with a damp cloth.
Hurry up to wash off cleansers
When applying cleaning agents and detergents to the surface of a kitchen stove or tile, you need to let them sit for a while and absorb into the surface. Thus, the active substances will react better with contaminated areas. Grease, mold and rust can be easily washed off with a damp cloth without any effort. The result will be a cleaner surface and you won't have to use rougher (metallic) sponges that can scratch the material.
Use one cloth to clean the surface
Using one cloth to remove dirt from different surfaces is extremely unhygienic. Very often housewives use one rag to remove dirt. For example, when cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, or bedrooms. Thus, transferring germs from the bathroom to the kitchen, and the remaining grease and soot to the polished surfaces of the furniture. To avoid this, you need to have several napkins in the house. After each use, rags must be washed with soap and dried.
Cleaning windows in clear weather
Many housewives are mistaken when choosing sunny weather for washing windows. True, dirt is very clearly visible on sunny days, which makes it easy to remove. However, when special cleaning agents are applied to glass in direct sunlight, it causes them to dry out quickly and make it difficult to wash off. This leads to the formation of streaks and stains.
To avoid this, wash your windows in cloudy weather or when the windows are in the shade.After wiping with detergent, thoroughly wash the windows with a cloth soaked in water, and then wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
No one will convince me otherwise, the floor needs to be cleaned first so as not to drag dirt along with you. And it’s more pleasant to clean on a clean floor, try it yourself
