You’re using your cleaning spray all wrong and it means it’s not working properly… the right way is loads lazier too
A CLEANING guru has revealed the proper way of using kitchen spray after realising most people do it wrong.
Geo, who is on TikTok under the name of @geo.cleans, has built a massive following of over 68k people on the social media platform by sharing his nifty hacks.
After learning that people appear to be cleaning in a haphazard way, he took upon himself to demonstrate exactly how to wipe down counter tops – and it takes hardly any effort at all!
“Most people use their kitchen cleaners incorrectly. Don’t be one of them,” he started the video.
Coating the counter tops in antibacterial kitchen cleaner, he then began wiping them down as he launched into a mini-speech about what to do.
“When you spray and wipe straight away, your cleaner of choice does not have enough contact time to break down the grease on the surface,” he explained.
He said that this means you have to “scrub harder” and it ultimately takes a longer time to clean.
“So next time, spray, leave it to sit, then wipe and that way the cleaner does the cleaning and all you have to do is wipe it up.”
“Clean smarter not harder!” he wrote in the caption.
People were left amazed by Geo’s cleaning revelation as one person said: “It makes so much sense but still needed to be told,” to which he replied: “Simple yet effective”.
Another pointed out that it usually says this on the bottle.
Geo responded: “It depends on the bottle but doesn’t matter what you’re using it will always be easier if you leave it to sit a few mins”. [sic]
A third person asked: “How long should you leave it for?”
“If it’s a disinfectant it’s usually recommended to leave it to sit for 5 mins but for degreasing 2 mins should be enough,” [sic] Geo responded.
While a fourth shared their “top tip” as they explained: “save a bottle and use a little washing up liquid and water . Even better and cheaper”.
Geo agreed with this assessment as he said: “Yep I’ve been a big advocate for this”.
