Bleach as a Universal Disinfectant: Surface Safety Explained
Myth: Bleach kills every germ and is safe for every surface, from wood to coloured fabrics.
Truth: Bleach is powerful on hard, non-porous surfaces when properly diluted, but it can damage wood, fabrics and some coatings.
The Truth: Use Surface-Specific Cleaners for Longevity
Choosing cleaners that match the material protects finishes, prevents discolouration, and extends the life of furnishings and floors.
The Truth: Dilution, Timing and Safety for Bleach Use
Always follow label guidance, use the correct concentration and ensure good ventilation to minimise risks and avoid in-use accidents.
Vacuuming Alone Is Not Enough for Clean Air Quality
Myth: Regular vacuuming alone keeps your home free of germs.
Truth: A complete approach includes dusting, mopping, leaving no corner untouched, and periodic deep-clean of carpets to reduce allergens and improve indoor air quality.
The Truth: Combine Methods to Target All Allergens
Integrating methods like dusting, damp wiping and steam or chemical disinfection where appropriate helps capture dust mites and mould more effectively.
Soap and Water Alone Is Not Enough for Deep Cleaning
Myth: Simple soap and water removes all bacteria and mould.
Truth: Disinfectants and appropriate cleaners are required to sanitise kitchens, bathrooms and high-touch areas.
The Truth: Disinfectants and Safe, Effective Products
Professional cleaning uses industry-approved products designed for specific surfaces, delivering sanitising action without damaging materials.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning: Not All Products Are Safe or Biodegradable
Myth: All cleaning products are biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Truth: Many products contain chemicals that may harm ecosystems or pose health risks; labels can be unclear.
The Truth: Eco-Labels and Responsible Cleaning Choices
Choose products with recognised eco-labels and certifications and use them according to manufacturers’ guidance.
Your Cleaner Home prioritises environmentally responsible supplies to safeguard people, pets and the planet.
The Right Cleaning Frequency Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
Myth: Cleaning routines should be identical for every home.
Truth: Frequency depends on lifestyle, number of occupants, pets and work patterns; a tailored plan prevents over- or under-cleaning.
The Truth: Tailor Cleaning Frequency to Habits and Needs
Your Cleaner Home designs services to match your lifestyle, family size and pets, ensuring effective cleaning without unnecessary visits.
