Cleaning Mistakes1. Washing your Windows when its Sunny 

While a warm, sunny day might seem like the perfect time to scrub the grime off your windows, it’s actually one of the worst times to do so! Bright sunshine will warm up your windows considerably, which will cause any cleaning solutions you use to evaporate quickly. This evaporation leads to streaks remaining on the window. What you should do instead is to clean your windows on an overcast day, out of direct sunlight. 

2. Spraying Cleaning Solutions Directly onto Surfaces

Spraying cleaners onto a surface releases more of the cleaner into the air, which can be irritating to people with asthma or allergies. Additionally,some surfaces need to be cleaned carefully, and spraying a cleaner directly onto it can be too harsh or too wet.  Instead, spray your cleaner onto a cleaning cloth, then wipe the surface. 

3. Cleaning Stainless Steel in Circular Motion 

Stainless steel can be tricky to clean. If you wipe a stainless steel surface using circular motions, that’ll likely leave marks on the surface once the cleaner dries. Instead, identify the direction of the “grain” in the stainless steel, and follow that while cleaning. It makes a big difference! 

4. Cleaning your Mirrors with Newspaper 

When it comes to cleaning with newspaper, it's the ink that's the problem! Some of the ink is likely to come off once the paper gets wet, and you don’t want that on your windows, mirrors, or anything else you’re cleaning. You can use a brown paper bag instead, which has all the lint-free benefits of newspaper, without any of the ink. 

5. Cleaning Stone Countertops with Vinegar  

Vinegar’s acidity, which makes it a great cleaner for many types of surfaces, is actually dangerous when it comes to cleaning stone countertops. This is because the acid can actually wear down the protective coating on the stone and leave behind etching, scratches, and other noticeable marks. Instead, use a cleaner that’s labeled as safe for stone.
