3 Common Household Mistakes: They Harm Not Only Your Home, But Your Well-Being
24.07.2024 19:30
Cleaning is considered one of the most unpleasant household chores – perhaps that is why many housewives are in no hurry to clean up, hoping that the mess will disappear on its own.
It is quite possible that if they knew that some household mistakes are harmful to health, they would be more willing to start cleaning their homes.
What mistakes are we talking about? You will find the three most common incorrect actions in this article.
Closed door of washing machine
Bathrooms are rarely very large, and if a washing machine fits in there, its door is usually kept closed.
This leads to the formation of mold and the multiplication of bacteria in the drum, which remains damp after washing, so do not rush to slam the door - it is better to wait until the “insides” of the equipment dry out.
Frequent carpet washing
Of course, it is worth taking care of your carpets, but you need to do it in moderation – washing them too often can ruin the floor covering. Excessive moisture causes the carpet to become damp, the glue in its composition to deteriorate, and the paint to creep.
To avoid damaging your carpet, vacuum it twice a week and dry clean it once every six months.
Uncurtained windows
The desire to let the sun's rays into your apartment can turn against you. The reason is that glass blocks UV-B rays, but allows through UV-A rays, which cause skin aging and furniture fading.
However, keeping the curtains closed all the time is also, of course, not an option. Therefore, alternate between open and closed curtains during the day.
