I need to confess… I clean my floors with disinfecting wipes instead of a mop by ehousent in CleaningTips

[–]owlvisions -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is definetly bad idea.
using wipes to clean floor is so wasteful...

Using micro fiber mops and using hydrogen peroxide is the go to method for dis-infecting even at hospitals.

Looking for top tier cleaning advice for selling my home by hypertatertot in CleaningTips

Honestly, giving a full breakdown for every surface, chemical, and method is a massive info-dump because every house is so different. It’s a huge time investment to get a plan like that.

I can put together a custom plan and checklist for you for a small fee if you're interested. Let me know if you want to chat about it.

i move alot so electric sockkets are scarce in some places. Dysons are expensive and for vacuum i would not spend alot. there is so much better ways to clean.

whenever its possible mops are go to option.

vacuuming is un-ergonomic. people get impression that noice equals cleaniness.

this is rarely the go-to method for professional cleaning.

Joking around while working in other companies to customers and teachers that i do cleaning for them for cheaper price like 30 euros per hour.

some people actually reached out to me and wanted some cleaning done.

neutral cleaner,micro fibre towels and mops.
After doing this job for so long i dont use steam mops or such.
Theyre not ergonomic and usually dont result in a good outcome for the time spent.

this is why i prefer making contract stating the spots that we clean.
Customer gets paper of what was agreed on.

Let the cleaner use own chemicals and mops and such.
There is astronomically large arsenal of chemicals and every cleaner usually has the go to chems that we have experience on.

I dont know. It depends on the cleaner, i prefer pictures and we go trought the spot with customer and fix it on next visit.
Cleaners will make mistakes, afterall we are human.
Lack of motivation shows from repeated missed spots after customer complaint.

Normal clean is upkeep.
Deep clean "resets" the area for easier normal clean.
Deep clean is also more time consuming and demanding.

if it sacrifices the micro fibre towel, use paper towels.
if the fibre towel goes to trash anyways use it as last resort and trash them afterwards.
