The desire of the housewife to wash everything until it shines does not always benefit these items. At best, the habit simply takes away time and energy.

It mainly damages kitchen utensils, home textiles and is misleading in matters of personal hygiene.

The housewives were told which things should not be washed or washed often - there is no need.

1. Cast iron frying pan

This is the most durable kitchen utensil. It is considered that it is almost impossible to spoil it, only if you drop it and break it.

But if you wash a cast iron pan often, soak it often by immersing it in water or rubbing it with metal sponges and detergents, then scratches will appear on it and the pan will become covered with rust.

2. Curtains

In this case, zeal will also not lead to anything good. Dust and other contaminants that enter the house from the street accumulate on the material.

But to combat it, it is not necessary to wash the curtains. If there are no stains, then you can cope without washing. But if you wash them more often than once every six months or a year, then the curtains may fade, shrink, wear out and you will have to look for a replacement sooner.

3. Wooden furniture

Some folk life hacks have a detrimental effect on natural materials. This applies to vinegar-based cleaning products.

Frequent and improper cleaning leads to the destruction of the protective coating and spoils wooden furniture.

4. Toothbrush

The toothbrush is stored in an upright position, in the open air, unless it is a combined bathroom.

In this case, the brush should be rinsed after use, not before. Don't forget that it needs to be changed every three months.
