Cleaning is probably one of the most unpleasant things to do in your own home.
Mistakes happen again and again, which are more common than usual.
Bremen – Which cleaning agent is best and which material should be used is probably a matter of taste.
Dishwashing liquid proves to be a true all-rounder.
If mistakes happen during cleaning, consumers often have more work to do afterwards than before.
Many people make these mistakes when cleaning
Cleaning should make you happy, even if most people are reluctant to mop and vacuum their own home.
To avoid unnecessary work, you should avoid some cleaning mistakes.
Ökotest named the most common mistakes in your own household.
It starts with the correct order of cleaning.
Many people make the mistake of first vacuuming and then wiping away the dust.

However, if lamps, cupboards, etc. are only wiped and dusted after vacuuming, the dust ends up back where it was just vacuumed.
The rule of thumb is: always clean from top to bottom.
As an important note, Ökotest states that the middle of the room should be vacuumed last.
The reason: When vacuuming behind cupboards and sofas, dust is often kicked up and settles throughout the room.

The second cleaning tip also relates to the order: windows should always be cleaned last.
Dusting and vacuuming stir up dirt and dust.
The particles also settle on the windows and destroy the still shiny glass.
When cleaning windows, you should also use the right glass cleaner - or even shampoo.
The windows should also not be cleaned when the sun is shining, as the sun causes the cleaning agent to evaporate quickly and may leave streaks.

Some mistakes also happen when cleaning the bathroom.
When cleaning the toilet, you shouldn't just clean the inside.
The bottom and back of the toilet bowl quickly become unsightly - the same applies to the sink.
A different cleaning cloth should be used to clean the toilet seat than for the toilet bowl.
Otherwise, germs that have just been successfully removed from the toilet could be left behind.
If you clean the toilet with the toilet brush, you should not forget to clean the brush.
