Selecting The Best Equipment

What's The Best Vacuum Cleaner To Use?

For many years my cleaning service used a very heavy vacuum cleaner. It was
a commercial upright machine, something I purchased second-hand and could afford. It was really tough and durable, but it was very heavy. Anyone using it would wear themself out pretty quick. Pushing it, pulling it,
lifting and moving it around chairs and furniture. Then I switched to a brand name lightweight upright vacuum called Oreck XL 2000 Upright Commercial 8 lb Vacuum Hypo Filtration. That worked great but it was not cheap.

When you first get started, just use whatever you have. When you are ready to purchase one, get a lightweight vacuum cleaner and you'll be glad you did. The Oreck XL 2000 Upright Commercial 8 lb Vacuum Hypo Filtration weighs just 8 pounds.

The work goes faster with a lightweight vacuum cleaner and it will be easier on the person doing the vacuuming. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Just be sure to get one that is lightweight for your cleaning business and everyone will be happy when they need to use it. Remember an extension cord too.

DUSTING TIPS

A microfiber dust rag is a great thing to have in your
cleaning supplies. The "microfiber rag" is so effective that you
only need water to clean a hard washable surface. Microfibers in the rag act as the cleaning agent.

This rag can actually reduce the money you spend on cleaners. This "Rag" can be used either wet or dry., A microfiber rag can be purchased almost anywhere cleaning supplies are sold. Always start dusting at the highest point in the room and work your way down to the lower areas last.

For those of you that like the more traditional method of using furniture polisher and an old dust rag ,try using a liquid polisher with a soft cloth when dusting. Old cloth diapers make a good dust rag. A wood polisher that moisturizes and preserves wood while toning down scratches and blemishes on the wood makes an excellent choice for a wood polisher.

Get one with lemon oil and contains a sun-guard. This works great on the routine furniture dusting, but should also be used several times a year on wood cabinets in a kitchen or bathroom. The steam from a shower can dry out a wood vanity or wood medicine cabinet.


When dusting a computer keyboard, try using a toothbrush or a small paintbrush to get between all the keys. An old toothbrush can really get in those tiny, small to reach places.

Feather dusters are another good choice for dusting. One made from ostrich feathers is the best because they are natural.

Who Should Buy the Paper Product Supplies?

Here's a Cleaning Tip

Who pays for paper products at an office? You know, the toilet paper, the folding paper towels and the rolls of paper towels. The decision
maker for a large office building told me that he wanted my price to
include all of the paper products used in the building. No way!!

Janitorial supply businesses are commonly the source of all paper
products for small offices and large office buildings. I would respectfully
suggest to the office manager that they set up an account with a local janitorial supply store. You can be responsible for ordering these paper products when they are low and they can be delivered to the office and paid for by the office.

This is how it should be done. There is no way that you can know how much paper products they may use in an office or office building. For this reason I suggest that you offer to order them for the office as need be, but not pay for them.

Just order them when they are low and the janitorial supply company
should bill the office or the decision maker who has set up an account
for doing it this way.


Remember...the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

Get New Business for Your Cleaning Company & Some Cleaning Tips

Remember this. The majority of clients that employ a private
cleaning service are affluent business people. These people own
a very successful business already and they can afford to pay for
a private cleaning service.

BUSINESS TIP

In almost every county there is a County Tax Collectors website available
for public viewing. Call them and find out what the URL is for that
website in your area. On that website you can locate all new business
licenses. Scan through them and pick out one's that appear to be good
potential customers for your cleaning business based on the name of
their business or type of business and contact them about submitting
a bid for your cleaning service.

CLEANING TIP

In your cleaning supplies that you use you should always have
some particular items for scrubbing when need be. Here are
one's that you should always have and use.

When you encounter a toilet bowel that has a ring around it inside the toilet it can be very difficult to remove UNLESS,you use... either a "griddle screen" or a "pumice stone" which is available at most any janitorial supply store. This items will work great for you.

Also, when trying to get a difficult mark off of a countertop try using
a Scotch Brite scratch-free scrub pad or for baseboards or doors
try using a product called "Magic Eraser" which you can find at most any
Wal Mart store. Both of these work great for getting marks off without
doing any damage in the process! I'm sure you will like them!
