❌ Cleaning Mistakes Most People Make — and How We Do It Differently
We get it — cleaning looks easy on the surface. But the truth is, many people unknowingly make small mistakes that lead to big messes, lingering odours, or even damage over time.
At Olakak Limited, we’ve seen it all. As cleaning professionals who pride ourselves on delivering flawless results, we’re here to help you avoid common pitfalls while showing you how our expert approach makes all the difference.
🧽 Mistake #1: Cleaning Surfaces in the Wrong Order
Most people start wiping wherever they see dirt first, but that usually spreads dust around.
How Olakak Does It Differently:
We always clean from top to bottom, left to right — making sure no dust falls on already cleaned areas.
🧼 Mistake #2: Using Too Much Product
More cleaning solution doesn’t mean more cleaning power. It often leads to a sticky residue that attracts more dirt.
Our Method:
We use just the right amount of eco-friendly product per surface type, tested to remove grime without leaving buildup.
🧴 Mistake #3: Using the Same Cloth for Every Surface
Cross-contamination is real. One cloth for the toilet and the kitchen? No thanks.
Our Difference:
We use colour-coded microfibre cloths for each zone (kitchen, bathroom, glass, etc.), and they’re replaced or washed after every job.
🛋️ Mistake #4: Ignoring Hidden Areas
Under sofas, behind radiators, inside cabinet handles — these spots are dirt magnets!
What Sets Us Apart:
Our cleaners are trained to pay attention to high-neglect areas, using checklists and spot-inspection routines to ensure nothing is missed.
🚫 Mistake #5: Forgetting to Disinfect High-Touch Points
Light switches, door handles, remotes, and banisters are touched daily — yet rarely cleaned.
Our Upgrade:
We target these areas with safe, hospital-grade disinfectants on every visit.
🧼 Mistake #6: Scrubbing Too Hard on Delicate Surfaces
Some materials (like marble or stainless steel) can scratch or dull if not cleaned properly.
How Olakak Protects Your Surfaces:
We use surface-specific techniques and non-abrasive tools, protecting your investment while still giving it a pristine polish.
💡 Mistake #7: Waiting Too Long to Clean
Postponing deep cleans leads to buildup that takes more time and effort to fix.
Our Advice:
Don’t let messes pile up. Book a recurring cleaning plan with us and enjoy peace of mind without the stress.
🔍 Bonus: Mistake #8 — Hiring Cleaners Without Training or Insurance
Sadly, many “budget” cleaners lack the training or coverage to clean properly — or safely.
Why Olakak Is the Safer Choice:
We’re fully insured and professionally trained, and every member of our team is background-checked. Our reputation is spotless — and so are your results.
