Are You Over Cleaning ?

Outfits You’ve Only Worn Once, Especially Bras

It is indeed a good habit to stay clean, sanitized, with fresh clothing, regular baths, etc. However, have you ever thought about the definition of fresh clothing and what happens to your clothes if you simply toss them in the washer after a single use? 

Well, to be precise, one can wear a piece of clothing at least thrice before washing them. That being said, frequent washing of clothes can cause them to wear out sooner than you expected, be it fading colors or loose fabrics. 

Bras, for example, often lose shape and fit if washed daily, something a lot of women struggle with.

Note – The washing routine may vary if you happen to sweat a lot or believe that something “must be washed.” What’s more, repeating clothes does not include underwear, as they must be washed regularly. 

Carpets 

There is, in fact, nothing like a clean house and carpet to brighten up the mood and overall feel of the home. But, again, vacuuming your carpet and getting them cleaned professionally are two rather different things. 

While vacuuming is something you can do daily, know that professional cleaning methods subject the rug and carpet fibers to a lot of wear and tear. Apart from decreasing their durability, the damage also makes the rugs susceptible to catching more dirt than before.

Your Hands

With the arrival of Sars Cov-2, cleanliness has gone beyond just food contact surfaces, home, office, classroom, pet area, dorm, etc. But while hand sanitizers have become an indisputable part of everyone’s lives, the several harmful effects of frequent use of so much alcohol and chemicals on hands is not something new either. 

Besides other wipes proven to kill the covid-19 virus, Clorox and Lysol disinfecting wipes make for a rather sound alternative in places where washing your hands with soap and water is not an option. 

These wipes clean and disinfect simultaneously, though one must dispose of wipes appropriately after use. Wipes are also available in several fresh scent options, such as lime blossom to choose from, making for a headache-free solution to chemical scents. 

CONCLUSION

Cleaning is integral, now more than ever, as the covid-19 virus continues to raise hell in several parts of the world. First, however, understand the difference between cleaning and overcleaning, and in cases where cleaning cannot be compromised, make sure to find alternatives that are not harsh, be it on skin or articles around the house. Happy Scrolling!
