Mistake: Depending on Tough Tools and Harsh Chemicals
First of all, if you are depending on scrapers, scrubby sponges, and tough tools, you are making Mistake #1- not routinely cleaning. When you are completing your routine cleaning in a timely manner and cleaning up messes when they happen, you will almost NEVER need a tool to scrape or scrub when you are cleaning. When cleaning is done on a regular basis, it can always be completed with a rag and an occasional scrub brush. Waiting until scrubbing or scraping needs to happen is a surefire way to cause damage to your surfaces. For example, a pumice stone is a good way to get rid of hard water rings in a toilet, and can be used once or twice without harm. But if you continually rely on using a pumice stone on a toilet bowl, you will quickly remove the protective coating, which means that ring will return quicker and thicker than it was in the past.
