^{Breaking Bad Habits for a healthy, clean home is actively replacing them with better practices.}

Still, busy lives and times can influence unforgiving routines for a clean & healthy home. Today, Ask Cindy is identifying five behavior patterns that can prevent anyone from experiencing a clean, healthy home ongoing. So which practices do you want to break up with? Let’s dive in…

Breaking Bad Habit #1- Wearing Outdoor Shoes of Any Kind Throughout the Home

After entering your residence, house, or apartment, remove your outside shoes to avoid transferring dirt, bacteria, & germs onto floor & rug surfaces. Let’s not walk the dirty outdoor elements adhered to the shoe bottoms around the home! Breaking this bad habit can jumpstart a cleaner, germ-free home the second after walking through the door.

Breaking Bad Habit #2 – Endless Mail Pile Up

Don’t allow delivered mail to gather and heap up, especially when it is considered junk communication. This house-cleaning tip can eliminate mail/paper from expanding unchecked, which can pile up, cluttering your counters or other surface space.

Breaking Bad Habit #3 – Overusing Cleaning Towels

Frequently changing out cleaning towels as you clean is an absolute requirement for avoiding cross-contamination of surfaces. Please don’t use one disinfecting wipe or continuous use of a cleaning towel to clean multiple items or surfaces.

True Story: During a house-cleaning consultation visit, I witnessed the “one dirty towel†that had been used to clean an entire one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment! Further, this dirty towel was placed into a Ziploc bag & left hanging in a closet for the housekeeper’s next visit. Wholly unacceptable without exception! ): The client was shocked & disappointed that her long-term housekeeper was not a befitting cleaning professional.

Breaking Bad Habit #4 – Using Excessive Amounts of Cleaning Product

Don’t use too much of a cleaning product – Follow the pour/dilution directions on the product label. Over-pouring and using too much cleaning product can cause damage once applied to a targeted surface or item. Please read the pouring and dilution recommendations on the product’s label to avoid damaging consequences as you clean.

Breaking Bad Habit #5 – Avoid The Waiting Game

Don’t wait to see “dirty circumstances” before cleaning up. Cleaning proactively instead of reactively is not as challenging with a plan.
