Don't Fall For These Foolish Cleaning Myths

 

When it comes to keeping your home clean, it can take a lot of work. And nothing is worse than doing more harm to your house than good due to misinformation. There are many common cleaning myths that homeowners fall for every year, but we're here to make sure you never let another one of these slip by again. So, here are some cleansing folk tales to be made aware of this season.
 

Myth #1: Bleach Cleans Everything

Bleach is a go-to item for helping to get tough stains out and whitening items, but it shouldn't be utilized for every home surface. It can't tackle grease, grime, and dirt particles. It's better used for stains, mold or mildew, and keeping surfaces disinfected.
 

Myth #2: It's Okay to Wash Your Sheets Every Two Weeks

We're sorry to break it to you, but you should be washing your sheets weekly! Many people tend to sweat while they sleep, allowing many nights of skin and oil to build upon their sheets. Two weeks is pushing it.
 

Myth #3: Your Appliances Clean Themselves

Sure, your dishwasher and laundry machines are designed to clean items. The thing is, that doesn't necessarily mean they are any cleaner than other appliances. From food bits to dirt from clothes, this debris can accumulate and sit. It's best to go in every once in a while and clean these appliances yourself!
 

Myth #4: Air Fresheners Clean the Air

Sure, after a spray, the area will smell very nice. However, no cleaning materials are coming from your mist — it's merely acting as a perfume for the room. If you find that after the smooth lavender or sweet dessert scent fades, there's still a strong odor lingering, you could be dealing with water damage issues or an unclean air duct, attic, or crawlspace.
