The most common mistakes when using professional cleaning products and how to avoid them
The use of professional hygiene and cleaning products requires technical knowledge and rigorous procedures. Although they are developed with highly effective formulas and undergo quality testing, incorrect application can compromise the expected results, endanger the health of users, and even cause damage to the surfaces being treated.
In this article, we identify the most frequent mistakes in the use of professional cleaning products and present best practices to avoid such situations.
Incorrect dosage
One of the most common mistakes is using inappropriate amounts of product. Excess product does not increase effectiveness, can leave chemical residues, cause waste, and increase costs. In turn, insufficient dosage compromises hygiene and can allow pathogenic microorganisms to survive. To avoid this scenario, always follow the manufacturer’s recommended dosage instructions and, whenever possible, use automatic dosing systems that ensure greater accuracy.
Mixing incompatible products
Mixing different cleaning solutions can cause dangerous chemical reactions and compromise the effectiveness of the products. For example, combining bleach with ammonia-based detergents can release toxic gases.
How can you avoid these situations? Never mix cleaning products, except when indicated by the manufacturer. Store solutions in properly labeled containers, avoiding improvisation.
Insufficient action time
Each product requires a specific contact time to act effectively on dirt, bacteria, and viruses. Often, the product is removed before completing its action cycle. Always check the recommended action time on the technical label and ensure that the surface remains moist during this period.
Lack of team training
Professional cleaning requires not only quality products, but also professionals trained to apply them correctly. Lack of training results in handling errors, wasted resources, and less effective results. Investing regularly in technical training ensures that teams understand sanitation protocols and know how to handle products safely.
Inadequate product storage
Extreme temperatures, sun exposure, or poorly closed containers can compromise the chemical stability of formulas and reduce product effectiveness. Storing products in dry, cool, and ventilated places, following the manufacturer’s storage guidelines, is one way to avoid inadequate storage.
Using the wrong product for the wrong surface
Not all surfaces react the same way to certain chemicals. Using an inappropriate product can cause wear, corrosion, or loss of shine. Selecting the right product for each type of surface, using technical data sheets and expert support whenever necessary, is essential for correct use.
