Many housewives are so accustomed to using a certain set of techniques in everyday life that the thought that they can cause harm does not even occur to them - not only to the apartment, but also to its inhabitants.

We'll tell you what mistakes are most often made when cleaning an apartment.

Sweep the floor with a dry broom

During this type of express cleaning, you do not remove dirt, but only raise a cloud of dust into the air, which until that moment lay quietly on the floor.

Replace using a dry broom with wet cleaning or use a vacuum cleaner – this way, cleaning will be much more effective.

Pouring coffee grounds and other waste down the sink

Don't even think about pouring coffee grounds, water left over from cooking pasta, used frying oil, and other waste down the sink - unless, of course, you want to cause "plugs" in the sewer pipes.

Flushing tea leaves down the toilet

If you ignore this warning and continue to eliminate the "leftovers of tea drinking" in the bathroom, be prepared for the tea stain to settle on the walls of the toilet, and over time they will turn yellow.

It is incredibly difficult to clean plumbing fixtures from such contaminants; you shouldn’t expect the original whiteness to return.
