Let’s be honest — there’s a lot of bad cleaning advice out there.
From outdated routines to viral “hacks” that don’t actually work, we’re setting the record straight on some of the most common cleaning myths we see.

Whether you're deep cleaning the bathroom, freshening up the kitchen, or doing your weekly reset, knowing what doesn’t work is just as important as knowing what does.

Myth #1: More cleaning product = better results

Truth: Using too much product can actually backfire. You might end up with streaks, sticky residue, or even surface damage. For a truly clean finish, it’s all about using the right amount — and pairing it with the right tool.

Try this instead: Stick to the recommended dosage on the label, and use a refillable spray bottle to control how much you apply. A little usually goes a long way — especially when paired with microfibre cloths or the right scrubber.

Myth #2: Scrub harder for a deeper clean

Truth: Scrubbing harder doesn’t always mean cleaner — and it can damage surfaces like tile, glass, and grout. The real secret? Let the product do the heavy lifting.

Try this instead: Tools like our Drill Scourer Pads or Miracle Mould Removal Gel make it easier (and safer) to tackle grime without the elbow grease.

Myth #3: You need a different cleaning product for every room

Truth: You don’t need a cupboard full of bottles. Most surfaces — from bathrooms to kitchens to windows — just need the right method and formula.

Try this instead: A solid multi-purpose cleaner and multi-surface cleaning cloths can take care of most areas in your home.

Myth #4: A strong scent means a clean home

Truth: Fragrance doesn’t equal clean. Some strong-smelling products mask dirt instead of removing it — and they often come with chemical residue.

Try this instead: Choose unscented or naturally scented products that actually clean, not just cover up smells. Your nose (and your surfaces) will thank you.
