1. You’re using too much cleaning product

You probably never thought about this, right? However, according to experts, using too many cleaning products instead of doing good and helping you clean better will do exactly the opposite. Let’s see the theory behind this myth and why we say it’s one of the cleaning habits that do more harm than good.

You probably watched a lot of TikTok cleaning videos with all the suds, and it was tempting to try for yourself too. In reality, applying too much soap might leave marks that draw filth. The residue might stay active and react with other cleaning agents to produce potentially dangerous gases if you use too much of the product.

To get proper results, use one product at a time and read all the labels carefully to avoid any kind of mistake and make your space a huge mess.
