This policy explains how Outright Cleaning is researched, written, reviewed, and corrected. It applies to everything we publish.

Our standard

Every article exists to help you get a real result. We aim to be clear, accurate, and honest — including when the honest answer is “this method doesn’t work as well as people claim” or “this depends on your surface.” We would rather give you a careful answer than a confident wrong one.

How we research

Our guidance is grounded in established cleaning principles, material and surface science, and manufacturer care guidance. When a recommendation depends on the type of floor, fabric, finish, or product you have, we say so and point you to the safest general approach.

Use of AI and human oversight

All content on Outright Cleaning is created with the help of artificial intelligence and published under human editorial direction. AI assists with research and drafting; editorial judgment, structure, fact-checking against known cleaning principles, and final review remain human-directed. We are transparent about this throughout the site.

No invented people or fake quotes

We do not invent authors, experts, customer reviews, or testimonials, and we do not attribute quotes to people who did not say them. Where we reference an organisation, standard, or manufacturer guidance, we do so honestly.

Accuracy and corrections

We work to keep articles accurate and current, but mistakes and outdated information can happen. If you find an error, email corrections@outrightcleaning.com. We review every report, correct confirmed errors promptly, and update articles as products, materials, and best practices change.

Independence

Our cleaning guidance reflects what we believe works best for the reader. Editorial recommendations are made on their merits and are not influenced by commercial relationships. Any commercial relationships are disclosed separately on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

Updates to this policy

We may revise this policy as the site grows. The current version on this page always applies.
