We like talking to our customers and get fantastic feedback from them. They sometimes ask us how we do it — how do we get the place so clean? And as we talk to potential customers, they always ask, “what am I getting for my money?” Fair questions.
So we’ve put together a little rundown of what it takes to clean a house or business professionals. It’s just an outline; there’s no space here to go into much detail. Still, you’ll get the idea. It becomes evident why it’s a good idea to have the home cleaning professionals to your house on a regular basis and not try to keep up with it yourself. It’s not as easy as merely putting on a white apron and picking up a feather duster. But the result is happy customers who have a whole lot more time on their hands. What could be better?
Supplies You’ll Need For DIY Cleaning
You’re going to need: glass cleaner, furniture polish, all-purpose cleaner, countertop cleaner, scrub pads, stainless steel cleaner, floor cleaner, bathroom cleaner, microfiber mops, microfiber pads, sweep broom, push broom, dust pan, dust mop, wet mop, grout brush, terry cloth rags, microfiber cloth, ladder, trash bags, twisty ties, and a feather duster. A white apron is optional.
Once you are ready to clean, you have a lot to do. Below is the general checklist. Every item has related items that we haven’t listed due to space. There is always something more to clean. That’s the maid’s job.
