For many, a home is an oasis and sanctuary. However, numerous everyday mistakes are made, that can ultimately ruin a home. Here are 12 things to avoid to ensure a clean and well-working home space.
1. Be Careful with Cleaners
Most cleaners, even multi-surface cleaners, can cause damage to furniture and other household goods when used on an unapproved surface. For example, toilet bowl cleaners shouldn’t be used to clean the grout in tubs showers, floors, or counters. Purportedly, these cleaners contain high amounts of acids that will eventually eat away at the caulking. Instead, try a DIY solution of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap. Simply, create a mixture using:
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide
- 1 tbs dish soap
Let the mixture soak for a minimum of 5 minutes then use an old toothbrush, or a grout brush, to scrub away the filth.
