Top 10 Cleaning Mistakes Qatar Residents Make
1. Using Excessive Water on Floors
Over-wetting tiles or wooden floors can damage surfaces. Use microfibre mops or damp cloths. For villas in Al Wakrah or Abu Hamour, frequent mopping is needed due to sand accumulation.
2. Using the Same Cloth for Kitchen & Bathroom
This spreads germs and bacteria. Always separate cleaning cloths. Our Home Cleaning Service in Doha ensures hygienic practices with proper tools.
3. Skipping Sofa and Mattress Cleaning
Dust, mites, and allergens hide in sofas and mattresses. Regular care prevents health issues:
4. Ignoring AC Vents
Dust circulates through AC vents, causing allergies. Include vent cleaning in your deep cleaning package for homes in Doha, Lusail, and Msheireb.
5. Not Cleaning Behind Appliances
Appliances like fridges and ovens trap dust, grease, and food particles. Hidden dust leads to odors and pest attraction. Our Deep Cleaning Service covers these areas.
6. Overusing Harsh Chemicals
Excessive chemicals can damage tiles, paint, and indoor air quality. Professionals use eco-friendly, Qatar-approved cleaning solutions.
7. Not Drying Bathrooms Properly
Humidity in Qatar bathrooms encourages mold and mildew. Wipe down surfaces and ventilate regularly.
8. Using Incorrect Cleaning Products
Different surfaces require different products. Avoid generic cleaners that may damage wood, tiles, or glass.
9. Cleaning Only Visible Areas
Dust hides in corners, under beds, behind wardrobes, and under sofas. Full deep cleaning is essential for Doha apartments, Lusail villas, and The Pearl residences.
10. Skipping Move-In or Move-Out Cleaning
Leaving a home unclean can lead to deposit deductions. Book Qatar move-in/out cleaning to ensure a spotless handover.
Extra Qatar-Specific Cleaning Tips
Use doormats at entrances to reduce sand in apartments near the Corniche, West Bay, or Lusail Marina.
Vacuum and mop high-traffic areas weekly — essential in sandy zones like Al Wakrah and Al Thumama.
Steam clean mattresses every 2–3 months to prevent dust mites.
Schedule deep cleaning quarterly to maintain air quality and hygiene.
