Common House Cleaning Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them!)

Even the most enthusiastic cleaners make mistakes that could actually make things worse. Let’s fix that!

Here are 5 common cleaning mistakes and how to avoid them:

🚫 Mistake #1: Using One Cloth for Everything

Bacteria spreads fast! Use color-coded cloths for different areas (bathroom, kitchen, etc.).

🚫 Mistake #2: Spraying Product Directly on Surfaces

Instead, spray on the cloth. This avoids product build-up and streaks.

🚫 Mistake #3: Skipping the Dusting

Always dust before vacuuming so you don’t stir everything back into the air.

🚫 Mistake #4: Not Reading Labels

Some products can damage wood, marble, or painted walls—always double-check!

🚫 Mistake #5: Overloading the Vacuum Bag

It lowers suction power. Empty or replace regularly for best results.
