Busted! Don’t Believe These Cleaning Myths!

When it comes to your home or business, giving it a good clean can do wonders for your overall wellbeing and productivity. A clean space goes far beyond improving the aesthetics of your room as it makes you feel good, relaxed, and less distracted. However, there are several misconceptions about what you should or shouldn’t do when performing a cleaning task.

These false facts about cleaning are mainly related to the method or cleaning products. Believing in these cleaning falsehoods could dissuade you from using effective cleaning methods and products. So to help you steer clear of the misconceptions, Sympl Clean has debunked three of the most widely believed myths about cleaning.

Myth 1: Cleaners just collect garbage and wash floors
The fact is, professional cleaning companies provide much more than just garbage collection and washing floors. If that were the case, then their services would be far less than mediocre.

This myth or statement probably exists due to bad experiences with a cleaning company or companies. We cannot speak for other cleaning services or individuals, but as for us, we take pride in serving our clients and keeping them absolutely satisfied.

At Sympl Clean, we honestly don’t mind with what or how other companies serve their clients. We only focus on our standards and constantly challenge ourselves to be better, kinder, caring, proactive, helpful with each client. It’s quite simple, and we want long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Myth 2: Glass cleaner should be the only product used for window cleaning
There are actually a lot of creative options out there now. From natural remedies publicized on social media to good old household brands. But, did you know that dish soap could be one of the best?

The myth probably exists because of brand messaging and commercialism. But yes, believe it or not, dish soap leaves your windows nice, without streaks or film. We ensure only to add a bit into a bucket of warm water, and we squeegee away. You should try it sometime, you wouldn’t believe the results, or just give us a call, and we will do it for you!

Myth 3: Flooring doesn’t require much care
A common misconception is that neglecting flooring is fine —specifically if they are VCT flooring, ceramic tiles, and carpets. We honestly don’t think this myth is the result of purposeful neglect. It’s more so because of a forgotten area that was left uncleaned due to the lack of time. Nowadays, we are constantly juggling many assignments, tasks, projects, budgets, meetings, and goals, and we tend to focus on what primarily stands out. Which in the cleaning world is often; desks, workspaces, garbages, washrooms, kitchenettes, etc. What often gets forgotten are the coffee and beverage stains that fall onto carpets, the dust and allergens that get pressed into carpets on a constant basis, the wear and tear of vinyl tiling, and the wearing and dirt build-up on ceramic tiling. That’s why we always offer and recommend; steam cleaning your carpets, VCT refinishing (also known as strip and waxing of vinyl floors), and ceramic tile scrubbing. Taking care of the flooring will not only keep the workspace clean, safe and healthy but also aesthetically appealing and attractive and ensure your staff and visitors are happy.
