Common cleaning myths — the short version
Homeowners and tenants often follow habits that look effective but either damage surfaces, create extra work or leave harmful residues. Below are the myths we hear most often, together with the simple truth and what to do instead.
Myth — Bleach is the best all‑purpose cleaner
Reality: Bleach is a disinfectant, not a universal cleaner. It whitens and sanitises in certain situations, but it can fade fabrics, strip surface finishes, and irritate skin and airways if misused.
What to do instead
- Only use bleach on non‑porous, colour‑fast surfaces and in well‑ventilated areas. Always follow dilution instructions.
- For coloured fabrics, wood, laminate or stone, choose a product formulated for that material.
- Consider eco‑friendly or specialist cleaners for ongoing maintenance — they remove grime without aggressive chemistry.
Myth — Vacuuming alone keeps carpets hygienic
Reality: Regular vacuuming removes dust and loose debris, but it does not extract embedded grit, oils or allergens that settle deep in fibres.
What to do instead
- Vacuum high‑traffic areas several times a week and under furniture monthly.
- Schedule professional carpet cleaning every 6–12 months; homes with pets, children or allergy sufferers may need more frequent deep cleans.
- Spot‑treat spills promptly with manufacturer‑recommended products to avoid permanent staining.
Myth — More cleaning product equals a better clean
Reality: Over‑application leaves residues that attract dirt and can make surfaces sticky or dull.
What to do instead
- Use the manufacturer’s recommended dose. Small amounts often do the job when combined with correct technique (agitation, dwell time, thorough rinsing).
- Rinse surfaces when required to remove residues, especially in kitchens and on food‑prep areas.
Myth — Eco products don’t perform as well
Reality: Modern eco‑formulations can be highly effective for everyday cleaning and reduce chemical exposure for families and pets.
What to do instead
- Match product strength to the task: eco cleaners for routine jobs, targeted disinfectants for illness or heavy contamination.
- Ask your cleaner about green options — many professionals use combinations that balance performance and environmental impact.

Practical cleaning tips you can use today
- Test stronger chemicals on an out‑of‑sight spot before full application.
- Vacuum first, then treat stains and follow with deeper cleaning on a schedule.
- Use microfiber cloths dampened as needed — they trap dust and reduce streaking.
- Measure cleaning products and follow dwell times for disinfectants to be effective.
- Keep fragile items and important documents stored during cleans to avoid accidental damage.
These small habits protect surfaces and make professional visits more effective. If you’d like help setting a cleaning schedule, contact us for a practical plan.
