Cleaning Myths Debunked

Cleaning myths and misconceptions can not only lead to wasted effort but even damage to your home. Let’s debunk a few common cleaning myths and set the record straight.

Myth 1: More Cleaning Product Means Better Results

It’s tempting to think that more is better, but using excessive cleaning products can leave sticky residues that attract dirt and make surfaces look worse. Always follow the label's instructions and use only the recommended amount for effective cleaning.

Myth 2: Vinegar Cleans Everything

While vinegar is often touted as a miracle cleaner, it’s not suitable for all surfaces. Avoid using it on natural stone like granite or marble, as the acidity can cause etching. Stick to cleaners specifically designed for delicate surfaces.

Myth 3: Carpet Doesn't Need Professional Cleaning if You Vacuum Regularly

Vacuuming is essential, but it only removes surface dirt. Over time, allergens, bacteria, and deep-seated grime build up, requiring professional cleaning to keep your carpets truly fresh and hygienic. For a carpet that’s truly clean - call in our friends at Drytron, your carpet cleaning professionals, on 13 12 50 or book online.

Myth 4: Bleach Cleans Everything

Bleach is a powerful disinfectant but not a cleaner. It doesn’t remove dirt or grime and can damage surfaces like wood or fabric. Use it for sanitizing after cleaning, not as a one-size-fits-all solution.

Myth 5: Newspapers Are Great for Cleaning Windows

While this was once true, modern newspaper ink can leave smudges and stains. Microfiber cloths are now the gold standard for streak-free glass cleaning.

By steering clear of these common cleaning myths and opting for tried-and-true methods, you’ll save time, money, and effort while achieving a truly clean home.
