Cleaning products
Cleaning apron
The cleaning apron saves more time than all other products combined. Bring all the supplies and tools you need to walk around the room once, then you’re done. Use it when cleaning from start to finish. Always return sprayers to the same loops and tools to the same pockets after each use. You must know the place where everything is without looking. Practice until it becomes automatic!
Small brush
The most practical brush for getting into tight places like nooks and cracks around faucet handles, stove parts, light switches, etc. Some things will not go away when cleaned but will go away easily when shaken with a brush and all-purpose cleaner. White is for sink and everything else. Red is ONLY for the inside of the toilet.
Plastic scraper
You may find dry droplets that are difficult to remove with a small brush. Many stains like this can be easily removed in seconds with the plastic scraper. Food and dirt can be placed in a plastic bag located in your apron pocket. It should ONLY be used when the scraper is a little wet.
Caddie
