Things Not To Do

Keep the Mix in Mind
“It is not a good idea to combine produced cleaning products. Indeed, if you’re not doing this correctly, chemicals might ‘cancel’ one other out, leaving you with either plain water or an ineffective chemical for cleaning. For instance, castile soap and vinegar work well together as cleaning agents, but Evans notes that when they are combined, the castile soap turns back into simple oil. Furthermore, if you don’t know enough about the chemicals you’re mixing, you could cause a potentially hazardous reaction. Use each of the original items as indicated to prevent any potential risk.

Avoid vacuums with non-HEPA filters.

Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. “HEPA filtered vacuum cleaners prevent excess pollen and dust from leaving the exhaust of your vacuum cleaner,” Aziz states. “Any pollen and dust mites that have made their way into the vacuum cleaner will eventually be spewed out by a standard vacuum. making vacuum cleaners without HEPA filters incredibly ineffective for real cleaning.”
