The cleaning professional explained: “The biggest problem is trying to remove the dust with a damp cloth.
“It just pushes the dust around. First use a dry cloth before cleaning with any product.”
Let it dry
Not only that, but if you're someone who has hung out laundry in a bedroom and is wondering why it's taking so long to dry, then you need to take notes.
The cleaning lady shared: “Second, don't let your clothes dry in an unventilated area.
“The best place is outside, where they can air dry naturally, or at least in a large room with plenty of airflow.
“They dry faster and smell so much fresher.”
Joke what?!
Finally, we saw the woman cleaning her floors with her mop as she revealed what many people forget to do with their mop.
She concluded: “And finally, make sure you empty your mop properly.
“Otherwise you risk water stains and musty odors.”
Cleaning enthusiasts remained divided
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @purdyandfigghas clearly left many open-mouthed as it has quickly amassed a whopping 22,300 likes.
Social media users were grateful for the cleaning advice and many took to the comments section to express it.
One person said: “First one: yes, finally some validation.”
Another said: “Great tips! Thank you.”
A third commented: “Air drying is always the best solution!”
At the same time, not everyone was equally enthusiastic about the tips.
One user claimed: “Don't recommend dry dusting without telling asthmatics it's a danger.”
A second agreed: “Drying clothes outside is dirty. It puts dirt and pollen on the clothes.”
While someone else revealed: “I'm just sucking up the dust.”
