The 5 most common household mistakes… and how to avoid them

Cleaning seems simple, but certain everyday actions can hinder the effectiveness of cleaning, and sometimes even the durability of your surfaces. At Cleaning Pro Clean , we've seen all sorts of mistakes that can easily be avoided with the right methods.

1. Using the wrong product for the wrong surface

Many people think that one all-purpose cleaner is a good fit for everything. However, a product that's too abrasive can damage wood, a cleaner that's too mild can leave a greasy residue, and some products can even become toxic when used improperly.

Solution : Always read the label and, if in doubt, seek professional advice.

2. Neglecting “invisible” areas

Behind furniture, under beds, on top of cupboards... These areas accumulate dust, dust mites, and bacteria. In the long run, this can harm the air quality in your home.

Solution : Schedule a deep cleaning at least once a season.

3. Using too much water

Cleaning with plenty of water doesn't mean cleaning better. Too much water, especially on wooden floors or furniture, can cause irreversible damage.

Solution : Use a moderate amount of water and wring out your rags and mops well.

4. Not changing cloths or sponges often enough

Cleaning tools themselves become breeding grounds for bacteria if reused for too long. The result: instead of cleaning, we spread germs.

Solution : Wash cloths at a high temperature after each use and change sponges regularly.

5. Doing things too quickly

Rushed cleaning often leaves traces, misses key areas, and can even create more work later.

Solution : Take your time, or delegate to trained professionals for a deep cleaning.
