Fresh spills—tea, juice, dal, oil—are easiest to clean when they’re still wet. One wipe and they’re gone. If you leave them “for later,” they dry, harden, and combine with dust and crumbs. Now you need scrubbing, and sometimes strong cleaners.
Sticky spots also attract ants and other insects. Sweet or oily residues become tiny buffets for them. Once they find a steady source, they start marching in regularly, and getting rid of them becomes a bigger job.
Taking a few seconds to wipe spills as soon as they happen saves you energy, keeps surfaces nicer, and quietly keeps pests away.
