Here are some home cleaning hacks you need to familiarize yourself with if you want to stop doing some of your grossest habits at home. Just recently, Elle Décor compiled a list of everyone's most common mistakes when it comes to cleaning at home.
First on the list is the loading up of the dishwasher which is apparently not a good thing to do. If you load up the dishwasher with so many items, chances are some of your plates, utensils, glasses and the like may not be cleaned thoroughly. With this, you need to make sure that only the allowable number of items will be kept in your dishwasher at any given time.
Second, it is another common mistake when people use dishwashing liquids or soap to clean cutting boards. Since this type of board is made of wood, the use of dishwashing soap can easily destroy it.
Third, it is also a must to clean the faucets, doors and handles at home. Do so with the use of water and soap.
Fourth, after heating your coffee pot, make sure to pour it in different glasses for immediate consumption. Some people let the coffee to stay in the pot for several hours because they prepared more than what they need. This can cause the staining of the pot and the deterioration of the taste and quality of the coffee.
Lastly, avoid spraying any of your furniture with polish. Some polishes claim that they can improve the appearance of furniture, and they may right. However, this shiny effect will only last for a short period of time, but the damage it can bring to the furniture may last longer, according to Good Housekeeping.
Now that you know some of these helpful home hacks, make sure to start trying them out at home starting now.
