Top 5 Kitchen Spring Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

Believe it or not, but there is a right and wrong way to clean when it comes to spring cleaning itself. Just because you soaked a sponge in water does not mean it will clean as well as a sponge with an actual cleaning solution. So, if you are ready to start your spring cleaning and want to do it the right way, then let Kingston help you out. Here are some five spring cleaning mistakes that many often commit, but with our help, we can make sure you avoid them like stains on your kitchen floors.

Over-Loading Your Dishwasher

Many think that their dishwashers can withstand a lot more than it really can. Never overload your dishwasher with too many dishes. Stacking too much will impact your dishwasher’s ability to clean all of your dishes. So, make sure to put in a reasonable amount and let your dishwasher clean all of your dishes properly.
