Never mix bleach with other cleaners, especially those containing ammonia or acids, because the fumes are dangerous. Open a window while you clean, and store products out of reach of children and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wash microfibre cloths without fabric softener so they keep picking up dust well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You do not need a cupboard full of products.
