CLEANING SUPPLIES:
We prefer the client
provides all necessary chemicals for the jobs along with the
mops, buckets, vacuum cleaners, dusters and brushes.
Everybody has different
requirements. Some like the more environmentally friendly
products while others like to use more industrial strength
cleansers.
As for the vacuums,
mops and buckets, using your own equipment prevents cross
infection and the introduction of germs and other foreign
matter into your home.
We use
your preferred supplies, so you have complete control of the
products used in your home. Most importantly, we use your
vacuum cleaner. It is always easier for a Cleaning Service
to use their vacuums. However, if there is any house on the
cleaning route that has a dog with fleas, every house on the
route will get fleas because the flea eggs are moved in the
beater bar of the vacuum. We just don't believe we provide
good service unless we use your vacuum. You don't have to
worry about surprise pests being brought to your home by way
of a traveling vacuum.

If you are missing any items,
it can effect the quality or cost of the cleaning job. These
are my suggestions:
 A
good vaccuum cleaner with new bags available.
Broom
and Dustpan.
Simple
squeeze sponge mop with CELLULOSE sponge and foldover hinged
handle. (Sponge heads are replaceable.)
Paper
Towels - Bounty is best. Note: Get 'Individual' Roles, because
the quality in multi-paks is inferior.
Medium
Size Kitchen Gloves
Soft
Scrub or Ajax scouring powder
Laundry
Soap, Tide Bleach for the machines.
Sponge(s),
Rags (unwanted t-shirts or towels) .
Bucket
or Pail -- Must be bigger than sponge mop. A square wastebasket
will do.
Fantastic
or 409
Muphy's
oil soap -- for bare wooden surfaces
Spic
and Pine Sol or Mr. Clean -- for finished floors
Windex
CHLOROX
CLEANUP LIQUID (bathroom)
Brillo
or S.O.S with soap in pad.
Something
to throw trash into (bags)
Be
sure there is light in areas needing work - bulbs/elect on
