Cleaning is an integral part of our daily lives, and probably each of us has at least once encountered myths about cleaning. However, not all advice can be truly effective. Instead of spending time and effort on what doesn't work, it's worth reviewing these common myths and getting acquainted with real tips for more effective and safe cleaning.
UNN has collected several popular myths about cleaning, as well as tips on how to make this process easier.
Chemical cleaners do the job faster
Many people believe that chemical agents will help get rid of dirt faster. However, environmentally friendly agents of recent developments can be no less effective, and they are much safer. If you choose natural cleaning products, pay attention to those that have antibacterial properties, for example, products based on tea tree or lemon juice. This is not only environmentally friendly but also harmless to your health.
You can clean everything with bleach
Bleach is not a universal cleaning agent. It disinfects well, but it is not always effective in combating dirt or grease stains. Instead, it is better to try using cleaning pastes based on soda and vinegar - they perfectly cope with greasy surfaces and are not harmful to health.
In addition, bleach can irritate the skin, and inhaling it can negatively affect the respiratory system.

Cleanliness at home is a sign of perfection
The idea that every corner of your home should sparkle with cleanliness can lead to unnecessary stress. It is important to remember that even if your home is not perfectly clean, it does not mean that your home is not cozy or well-maintained.
Setting priorities and realistic expectations will help reduce stress and make cleaning a more pleasant process.
Vinegar is the best way to clean fruits and vegetables
Vinegar is a popular means of cleaning products, but not always the best. Vinegar may not cope with wax coatings, which are often used on fruits and vegetables to preserve their freshness. For cleaning fruits and vegetables, special washing sprays will be more effective, or simply washing under warm water with a small amount of baking soda, which helps remove pesticide residues and dirt.
Cleaning is just cleaning surfaces
In fact, cleaning is not just wiping furniture and floors. It is equally important to regularly clean hard-to-reach places, such as ventilation grilles, baseboards, between pants and furniture. These trifles accumulate dust and dirt, which can worsen the air quality in the house.
You can clean without organizing things beforehand
Another common myth is that you can clean without prior organization. In fact, to clean quickly, you first need to sort out unnecessary things. This will allow you to maintain order and speed up the cleaning process. It is recommended to have special baskets or boxes for storing things that allow you to keep the space clean and without unnecessary chaos.

Cleaning products should always be expensive
You don't need to use expensive products for effective cleaning.
In fact, many effective cleaning products can be made from readily available ingredients such as vinegar, baking soda, or lemon. They work just as well as expensive products.
Quick cleaning is ineffective
With the right tools and strategies, you can clean effectively even in a relatively short time. For example, quickly wiping surfaces from dust and collecting things from the floor can be done in 10-15 minutes, and this will help maintain order in the house.
More often is better
To maintain cleanliness, you don't need to clean constantly.
Frequent cleaning can be exhausting and time-consuming. It is enough to clean regularly, but not every day. It is more important to organize the space and maintain order so that cleaning does not turn into an overly laborious process.
