Q: What is the best DIY cleaner for hard water stains?

• <div><p>It depends on the surface you&rsquo;re trying to clean. For example, a mixture of vinegar and water is a good option for a deep cleaning, including removing hard water stains from glass or stainless steel. However, vinegar is too acidic for granite and other types of natural stone, so it&rsquo;s better to use a combination of baking soda and water on those surfaces. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t clean your house regularly?

• <div><p>Not cleaning your house on a regular basis can lead to elevated allergen levels, pest problems, mold growth, damaged belongings, and parts of your home falling into disrepair. Consistent cleaning prevents problems that can lead to illness and ensures you&rsquo;re aware of the condition of everything in your home so you can maintain and repair things as needed.</p></div>
