Spending a lot of time and effort cleaning every day makes housewives quite tired. In which, a few wrong habits will not bring efficiency when cleaning, making the house not cleaner but also affecting health a lot.
Do not classify cleaning tools
Reusing a towel for many areas will make cleaning difficult. Many housewives are used to using kitchen towels to wipe dining tables or sharing towels with rooms, which can easily spread bacteria and increase the risk of cross-infection.
Classify cleaning tools by area such as kitchen, bathroom, living room... In which, towels can be classified by color for easy distinction, while washing and disinfecting regularly will help ensure effective cleaning and reduce the risk of bacterial spread.
Mix cleaning agents
Mix detergents in which some chemical mixtures can create toxic gases or chemical reactions that are harmful to health such as irritation of the skin, eyes, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath...
Mixing detergents will not help clean up and wipe the house cleaner, but will also damage household items such as corroding metals, discoloring fabrics, damaging wooden floors, and natural stones.
Wrong cleaning process
Some housewives have a habit of cleaning the floor before cleaning cabinets and shelves. Improper cleaning procedures cause dust to fall down, making the floor dirtier.
To make the cleaning process quick and not take much effort as well as avoid cross-contamination, it is advisable to wipe furniture before sweeping the floor, as well as from inside to outside the house.
Not cleaning cleaning tools
Not cleaning the vacuum cleaner filter, not washing the mop regularly will be the reason why bacteria are prone to growth. Cleaning tools not only ensures the lifespan of the product but also protects the health of family members.
After each cleaning, wash and dry the broom and mop, periodically change the brush heads and sponge pads to prevent bacteria and mold from multiplying as well as help the living space always be airy and clean.
