Don't waste your time: 8 things you wash and clean too often

We feel much more comfortable in a clean house, so we regularly wash our bed linen, dust it and clean the tiles in the bathroom. But some things should be cleaned less often. Delphi says that it is in our house that he does not need such frequent attention (this will save time that can be spent on more enjoyable activities).
Articles of clothing
Having put on jeans only once, you should not immediately throw them into the basket with dirty laundry. Socks, underwear and sportswear require this approach, and jeans and sweaters can be worn multiple times.
Curtains
There is no need to wash the curtains every month. Curtains and drapes don't get dirty as quickly as you think, so wash them once a year (and remove any specks if necessary).

Wooden furniture
Wood furniture does not need to be cleaned weekly with special tools - using sprays too often for wooden furniture can form a thin coating that will attract dust even faster. Use polishing agents no more than once a month, and the rest of the time once a week, wipe the dust with a dry or barely damp cloth.
Dishes
Many people try to over-rinse their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. All you need to do is brush off the leftover food, and the technique will do the rest.
Jackets
Jackets should be washed no more than once every three months, unless they are heavily soiled or smell unpleasant. The jackets do not come into direct contact with the skin, so they do not need to be washed frequently.
Oven
Some people clean the oven too often. Yes, stains and streaks need to be removed immediately after they appear, but the oven itself only needs to be wiped with a damp cloth once a week, and more serious cleaning can be done every 2-3 months.

Lighting
Chandeliers, lamps, sconces and floor lamps do not need to be cleaned every week - just dusting them once a month is enough.
Cover
If you wash your cover every week, then stop doing it. Such frequent washing is only necessary for bedding, and the bedspread should be washed once every couple of months, since it does not come into contact with the skin so often.
