From using too much product to vacuuming the wrong way, this is how to fix bad spring cleaning habits. By SAM WYLIE-HARRIS
-
WE'RE in peak season for housework and giving our homes a freshen up.
If you haven't already got stuck into your spring spruce up it's a good time to replenish the cleaning caddy, get our household gloves on and get stuck in.
But take a moment to think about the job in hand... as Lynsey Crombie (@lynsey-queenofclean), This Morning's Queen of Clean and home expert highlights, you could be leaving behind more dirt and grime than you realise.
Here, Lynsey shares some common cleaning mistakes you may be making and her top tips.
1. NOT STARTING FROM THE TOP AND WORKING YOUR WAY DOWN
One of the most common mistakes is not following a logical cleaning order, says Lynsey.
"Dust falls like snow, so if you start vacuuming or wiping lower surfaces first, any dust or dirt from higher spots will settle back down," warns the cleaning expert. "When cleaning a room, always begin at the highest points: Cobwebs, tops of cabinets and light fixtures - then work your way down walls, furniture, and finally, the floor."
