    Cleaning Right: Five Ways You Aren’t Cleaning Properly

    By Friends of Real MommaAugust 2, 2024No Comments3 Mins Read

    Home is where the heart is, along with dust, dirt, grime, and germs. In most households, we will simply clean what we see, versus cleaning everything that could be a home for germs. While doing a deep clean every week probably isn’t possible, there are ways you can keep things from getting too gross by simply doing a thorough clean. Below are five ways you can start cleaning right, take back your house from germs and dirt.

    Never Forget the Front or Back Door

    Your doors are the entryway into the home. Whether your family uses the front or the back door more often, they are the first place dirt and germs are introduced into your home. An easy way to help with this issue is to use a doormat outside and inside the door where you take your shoes off. This helps keep some of the excess dirt from being spread throughout the home. Once a week, take a moment to sanitize your door handles as well.

    Always Clean Top to Bottom

    When dusting, wiping, vacuuming, and mopping, always make sure you start at the top and work your way downward. If you vacuum and mop the floors before you dust, you are simply setting yourself up to have a dusty, dirty floor immediately upon finishing. This is especially important when dusting shelves in the house. Try to do this at least once every two weeks. If you have asthma, you may need to do it more often. Even if you take medications, simply keeping your environment dust-free can prevent attacks.

    Stay Proactive In The Bathroom Cleaning

    Mold and mildew love to grow in dark, cool areas which is why if you do not stay proactive in your bathroom cleaning, you are not cleaning properly. A great way to combat it before it ever gets the chance to grow is by using a simple spray bathroom cleaner. These types of cleaners help combat scum and grime from building up and can sanitize the entire shower or bathroom floor.

    Stop Cleaning With Acid

    Rust stains can be a complete eyesore. Whether they are on patios and the driveway, or even indoors around your bathroom fixtures, you probably try to prevent these before they start with acid cleaning. While effective, these cleaners are harsh on your home and your health. Stop cleaning those rust spots with acidic cleaners and start using lemon. Simply cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the stain. If the stain is a tough one that has been sitting for a long time, scrub it with a brush rather than just a rag.

    Get Rid of Those Mineral Deposits On Faucets

    Mineral deposits can stain plumbing fixtures both inside and out if your home has hard water. Instead of using a stiff brush that can scratch the fixture, simply pour white vinegar on a clean cloth and wipe it off.

    Cleaning your home goes far beyond simply cleaning what you can visibly see. Listed above are just a couple of many different ways you can improve your cleaning methods for your home and get rid of tough grime.
