Cleaning Habits That You Should Stop as per Experts

Experts say these common cleaning habits do more harm than good—ditch them for smarter, safer cleaning.

Spraying disinfectant on every surface kills good bacteria too. Experts suggest targeted use—don’t wage chemical war at home!

Overusing Disinfectants Everywhere 

Hot water isn’t magic. Without proper cleaners, you’re just spreading grime with warmth—add actual soap or disinfectant. 

Cleaning With Hot Water Alone 

Electronics hate moisture. Spraying directly risks damage. Experts recommend using a cloth slightly dampened—not soaking wet. 

Spraying Cleaner Directly on Electronics 

Your mop, sponge, or vacuum filter needs cleaning too. A dirty tool just spreads germs around, experts warn.

Ignoring the Cleaning Tools 

Bleach and ammonia don’t team up—they create toxic gas. Never mix cleaners unless you're ready for chemical warfare.

Mixing Cleaning Products Together 

Dust first, vacuum later. Doing it in reverse just kicks particles back into the air, wasting your effort. 

Vacuuming Without Dusting First
