Microfiber Cloths and Water Clean Most of Your Home

H Pavel Volkov · howtolive.guide ·

You don't need a different spray for every surface. A damp microfiber cloth lifts dust and everyday grime from most surfaces with water alone, or with a drop of detergent where there is grease. The tiny fibers trap particles instead of pushing them around like a regular cloth does — as long as you rinse the cloth as you go and wash it often, so it does not carry dirt to the next surface.

Save specialty cleaners for what actually needs them — heavy grease, mineral deposits, mold. For daily and weekly cleaning of counters, mirrors, appliances, and furniture, microfiber and water, plus a drop of detergent when needed, is usually all you need. It's cheaper, simpler, and means fewer sprays in your indoor air. When someone at home is ill, see cleaning vs disinfecting.

The point
A damp microfiber cloth with water, or a drop of detergent, handles most daily cleaning — rinse it as you go and save specialty products for tough jobs.
