In fact, a lot of common household cleaners can quietly break down finishes, stain countertops, or wear away at the materials you’re trying to protect. Sometimes it’s a pH issue, sometimes it’s abrasion, and sometimes it’s the result of using the right product in…
There are a million cleaning “hacks” floating around online, and to be honest, most of them sound too good to be true because they are.
