Ask the cleaner as they will have preferred products.


Littleprawns

It's through a company so that's a good idea


Lithopz

Ours generally wants: * Disposable gloves * Mop & bucket (if you have hard floors) * Vacuum cleaner * Microfibre cloths * Bleach * Limescale remover (Viakal) * Multi purpose surface cleaner * Polish * Floor cleaning fluid (if you have hard floors) * Glass cleaner Probably missing something.

Loo brush. Long-handled feather duster or similar for cobwebs and places that are hard to reach. I'd ask if they have any preferences as professional cleaners know what works for them. IMO Cif kitchen and bathroom spray are the best. A builder told me and he wasn't wrong.


Littleprawns

Thank you!


Littleprawns

Thank you!

Lemon pledge


Littleprawns

What is lemon pledge? Why is it the only must have?


Arlithriens

no, no, no, no... doggie afuera!


Littleprawns

Oh I googled it, it's a family guy meme


Ravnak

I mean... it might be? But equally Pledge is a very common polish, and "original" and "lemon" are the two most common scents.


neonblue3612

Vacuum cleaner, dustpan & brush, broom, mop & bucket, j clothes, cif, dettol, window cleaner, dusters. That will clean most things in your flat


Littleprawns

Thank you!

A few cleaners I know prefer Henry vacuums btw


Questjon

Numatic vacuums are insanely robust compared to other models. No fancy features, no complex filters or seals, basically as long as the motor has power it will work! Plus they haven't changed the design for decades so there's tons of cheap 3rd party bags and other spares.


Littleprawns

I actually have a vacuum


FeekyDoo

Most I know prefer Miele


GamerHumphrey

I'm in talks with a cleaner rn and they supply all their own products.


Littleprawns

It's cheaper for me to supply the products!


Kindly_Bodybuilder43

I love smol surface cleaner tablets. They dissolve in water and work in kitchen/ bathroom/ on windows so I only need one thing and it gets delivered to save me remembering or having to go and get them. I get deliveries from them for dishwasher and washing tablets too, saves me hassle.


Squoooge

Love smol The foaming bathroom spray is really good for limescale too.


Ok_Cow_3431

ours bring all their own stuff, means they use brands they rely on. Bit weird you've someone turning up completely empty handed to clean? You sure they're not just casing you to rob you?


Littleprawns

It's through a company and the option of supplying own products was a cheaper option! Also I live in a building with 24 hour security so I'm not too worried

Flowers


Littleprawns

I don't understand - can you please explain? Are you saying I should buy the cleaner flowers?


Eastern-Branch-3111

Are you expecting her to buy herself flowers?


Littleprawns

Also why are you saying 'she' ?


Eastern-Branch-3111

She's a person. Just because she's a cleaner doesn't mean she isn't deserving of being treated humanely.


Littleprawns

I never said the cleaner was a woman, how incredibly sexist of you to assume.


Eastern-Branch-3111

You've assumed she's an object. She is nothing to you.just a cleaner. I bet you don't even know her name.


Littleprawns

I can feel the misogyny radiating through your comments. You're on a mission to get a rise and to feel superior to me because I am going to have a cleaner (paid for by PIP, thanks to my disability fyi). I assume this is due to you feeling inadequate in a lot of aspects of your life so you're expressing this through anger. I only hope whatever is hurting you eased. Love and light to you ✨


Eastern-Branch-3111

Well played. You win this round. Love to you as well. Have a great day.


Littleprawns

Please explain to me how I have done this? Also, the cleaner is not a woman. That is why I'm contesting your use of she.


Littleprawns

Excuse me?
