you&#8217;re making . . .<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Dusting surfaces with a dry rag.\u00a0 It sends dust flying through the air, and a lot of it just resettles somewhere else.\u00a0 So sometimes it&#8217;s better to use a DAMP rag. \u00a0Especially if you have allergies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Not cleaning your pillows.\u00a0 You should wash your pillowcases once a week.\u00a0 But what about the actual pillows?\u00a0 They collect a lot of bacteria and oil.\u00a0 So you should wash them every couple months.\u00a0 Just check the instructions on the tag.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Cleaning stainless steel in a circular motion.\u00a0 It can leave marks.\u00a0 So instead, look for the grain in the steel, and scrub WITH the grain, not in a circle.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol

clean them enough.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Washing your windows on a sunny day.\u00a0 Glass cleaner dries too fast in direct sunlight, and leaves behind ugly streaks that can make your windows look even worse.\u00a0 So it&#8217;s better to wait for an overcast day, or clean them at
