5 common cleaning myths: busted!

You know those common cleaning tips and tricks that you’ve heard over the years, like ‘vinegar is a good disinfectant’ or ‘you can’t steam clean hardwood floors’. Well, they could actually be slowing you down. Not to worry though, we’re getting to the bottom of these questionable cleaning myths… and giving you some tried and tested alternatives.

Myth: Bleach is the ultimate cleaner

There’s no denying that bleach has lots of special powers. It can disinfect surfaces, kill germs and lighten stains. So, it’s always handy to have a bottle at home. However, bleach can’t actually clean surfaces. It doesn’t have the ability to get rid of dirt.

Unlike the H2O e3™ Multi Purpose Cleaning System, which is designed to effectively clean multiple surfaces around your home. It uses its revolutionary cleaning technology, electrolysed S-WaterTM, to cut through grease and grime. The H2O e3™ Multi Purpose Cleaning System has also been lab proven to clean as well as leading brands.

Myth: Vinegar is a disinfectant

It’s true that vinegar can be a useful cleaning agent and deserves a special place in your kitchen. It can clean your walls, windows, dishes, even your clothes. It’s also true that vinegar can be tough on germs, but it certainly isn’t strong enough to kill them. Do you know what is? The H2O e3™ Multi Purpose Cleaning System.

This multi-purpose super-sanitizer can blitz away bacteria and ensure your home is germ free.

To steam clean or not to steam clean? It’s assumed that hardwood floors are delicate and require special attention, so people avoid using steam on hardwood floors due to the high temperatures and moisture.

Myth: Steam cleaners can’t clean ovens
