Cleaning experts agree: "Never wash the floor at noon because it generates a greater sensation of heat"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General30 August 2026 at 05:01

Cleaning specialists agree that you should never wash the floor at noon during the summer, as this generates a greater sensation of heat. The task of cleaning the house during the summer months can become more laborious than usual due to the high temperatures. These temperatures force people to look for the coolest hours of the day to do household chores. However, many people do the opposite when it comes to washing the floor, taking advantage of noon thinking that the sun and heat will help the surface dry faster.
