“Spring Cleaning” mistakes to avoid

It’s “Spring Cleaning” season!

Ever cleaned something in your home and…upon further review…have to do it again?

Here are some cleaning mistakes to avoid from Fox News:

Dusting surfaces with a dry rag  It sends dust flying through the air and a lot of it just resettles somewhere else…so use a damp rag, especially if you have allergies.

Not cleaning your pillows  You should wash your pillowcases once a week.  Your pillows collect a lot of bacteria and oil, too, so wash them every few months.

Cleaning stainless steel in a circular motion  It can leave marks…so look for the grain in the steel and scrub with the grain, not in a circle.

Forgetting to clean your remotes and light switches  They’re two things in our homes we touch a lot and many don’t even clean them.

Washing your windows on a sunny day.  Did you know that glass cleaner dries too fast in direct sunlight and leaves behind ugly streaks that can make your windows look even worse?  Wait for an overcast day to do it or clean them at night.
