Optional cleaning checklist if you prefer that we use your cleaning supplies:
Cleaning products:
​
-
Glass cleaner: Needed to clean mirrors and windows. We recommend plain white vinegar and water, mixed in a spray bottle.
-
All-Purpose Cleaner: Needed for cleaning most surfaces in the home. We recommend Biokleen All-Purpose Cleaner Concentrate, a natural enzyme-based cleaner, as our preferred all-purpose cleaner and degreaser. More information about this little known brand is available on their website.
-
Disinfectant: This is used to disinfect points of contact, as well as when cleaning bathrooms.
-
Dish Soap: A very safe, pH neutral cleaner used for cleaning dishes and several other parts of the home which require a mild cleanser.
-
Baking Soda: Provides deodorizing capabilities and helps provide gentle abrasion where the abrasive cleaner cannot be used.
-
Vinegar: Terrific as a glass cleaner, tile floor cleaner and grease-cutter.
Cleaning tools:
​
-
Microfiber twist mop and wringer bucket or flat head mop: We find these offer a safe and superior clean.
-
Functioning, full sized vacuum cleaner: Vacuums help remove duct and allergens in your home. For smaller spaces, compact/stick vacuums work really well. We would be glad to recommend some of your favorite brands if you like!
-
Double-sided sponges: One for the kitchen, one for the bathrooms.
-
Microfiber cloths: J clothes, old towels or cut up shirts do not count. Minimum 1-2 per room.
-
Toilet bowl brush: With a bowl brush container.
-
Paper Towel: For jobs where a cleaning cloth won't suffice (i.e. a toilet).
-
Three-Step Ladder: If you wish for us to reach higher areas, we cannot use anything else aside from a stepladder. Please not that without one we won't be able to clean anything higher than arm's reach.
