At Maid Service Oakton we prioritize certain cleaning equipment because it: a) works and b) is easy to use. Some of these are basic items but are what we recommend you use to help with your housekeeping.
Lint-free or microfiber cloths
Necessary for any polishing you need to do, a lint-free cloth is perfect for applying wax-based cleaners to surfaces to ensure you don’t leave anything behind. They are super absorbent, holding lots of liquids and so will soak up spills quickly and easily and leave you with dry kitchen surfaces.
Eco-friendly cleaning products
Because we often go into homes where there are children and/or pets, we use eco-friendly cleaning products to keep them and safe. Environmentally friendly cleaning products do far less harm to the water system and do not cause the same respiratory issues traditional cleaners can.
Deep carpet cleaners
Deep carpet cleaners go beyond what an ordinary vacuum cleaner can do and will lift out stains. Alternatively, Maid Service Oakton offers fast, effective dry carpet cleaning which is brilliant f you have pets and will help extend the life of your carpet.
Squeegees
For effective bathroom cleaning, a squeegee is a must. It’s perfect for cleaning droplets and soap suds, which means you can help prevent the build up of bacteria and mold. Use it on shower screens, tiles and steamed up mirrors and keep it in the bathroom permanently so everyone can use it straight after they have showered.
Scourers
Essential for cleaning pots and pans, and your hob. Sometimes, only elbow grease will do and a wire scourer gives you the heft to do so. Apply a little soap or salt for extra friction and use to remove burnt on food. For non-stick pans, it is best to use specialist scourers that will not remove the non-stick coating.
Spray mop kits for hard floors
For laminates or floor tiles, a specialist spray mop kit will feature a swivel head and a refillable cleaner cartridge for whatever cleaning product suits your flooring. Thanks to their design, you will be left with clean and dry floors.
Sponges
Yes, the good, old-fashioned sponge is one of the best pieces of cleaning equipment you can have. Multiple uses include washing up, kitchen surfaces, the bathroom, your car and more. Just ensure each sponge is used for one task in one place to avoid cross-contamination.
All of us here at Maid Service Oakton hope you and yours are able to stay safe and well in such challenging times. Keep calm, sanitize and don’t panic buy. See our hygiene tips here.
