When doing simple DIY cleaning around the house many people make these common mistakes which result in more dirt and dust buildup. 

 

Overloading your dishwasher 

Stacking too many dishes and utensils in your dishwasher will actually leave your dishes unclean. Not only will food particles be unable to escape between the dishes but the soap will be unable to clean the surface of thee dishes. 

 

Not cleaning the most touched points 

Things such as taps, handles and door knobs are some of the most touched areas of your house. These can all be simply cleaned with a daily disinfectant wipe to get rid of germs. 

 

Spraying furniture with polish 

Spraying the furniture with polish directly actually creates a build-up that will attract more dust to it. This is a very common mistake people make. To counter this you should spray your cloth then wipe the furniture. 

 

Using the same cloth on all surfaces  

By using the same cloth repeatedly you might end up spreading germs instead of cleaning them. This especially applies hen changing rooms as some germs such as food germs from the kitchen sides may be spread to other furniture if used outside the kitchen. All cloths and towels should be washed after each use and kept in specific rooms. 

 

Not dusting windows 

Before you clean your windows with any form of solution you should always dust the windows. If not done when you spray the window you will see grease or dirt marks left behind which can become difficult to remove if left.

 

Rubbish bins 

A common place people forget to clean, is their bin. This can lead to unpleasant smells as well as large bacteria buildups. Bins should be washed regularly inside and out. Check out this previous blog from Cleanhome Haywards Heath showcasing some great Bin Hacks
