Tips and Tricks
- Wear light and comfortable clothes and shoes that we will not mind staining or getting dirty.
- Prepare a bucket of supplies to bring around during cleaning. We need some rags, paper towel, furniture polish, glass cleaner, bathroom cleanser, and any other cleaning supplies that can be helpful while cleaning.
- We have a special way to work. We work around the room in one direction, either left or right. This way, there will not be any missed spot and the cleaning will be thoroughly executed.
- The best way to clean is start dusting and vacuuming from the top to bottom in any room, dust falls downwards.
Dirt Secrets House Cleaners Don't Want You To Know Cleaning Supplies & Equipment
I carry my HEPA filter vacuum with me at all times. But it's recommended that I use your vacuum. Why? Think about this for second.

"Do you want a vacuum that was used in some really dirty houses used in your house?" |
There's no way the dirt from one house will not be carried to the next. That's why the secret is:
|
|
"Don't let the house cleaner bring any equipment or cleaning rag to your house." |
Take it very seriously. It's the health of your loved ones that are at stake here.
Cleaning rags. Believe you me, don't ever let a house cleaner use one that is not provided by you. The same applies to sponges, etc. Call me to reveal to you additional secrets that I cannot tell you here, in public: (781) 443-5682.

"Ask your house cleaner to use your cleaning supplies. This way they're 'forced' to use great products (non harmful, pet and baby friendly, hypo-allergenic). If you let it, they will use very strong products that will "do" their work and as a consequence, harm your environment (remember: indoor air pollution is greater than outdoor one)." |
I will give you great suggestions for Natural products. These products are not that expensive, and are great for your health. These products are manufactured without harsh chemicals.
DO THIS: Tell your next house cleaner: "I am hiring you for your labor only. I will provide everything you need for the cleaning. Please take a look at my cleaning closet and let me know if I don't have what you need. And by the way, please keep me informed of any necessary re-stocking of any cleaning supplies by emailing me 2 weeks in advance." Very simple, isn't it?
Cleaning Tips
A house should be cleaned in the most gentle way. You should take that into consideration. More TIPS below:
The cleaning rag should be used in one house and one house only.
The type of product used should be as gentle as possible.
House Cleaners should
carefully move furniture (use special protectors) to prevent
floors from being scratched.
Vacuums should have
HEPA (High
Efficiency
Particulate
Air) filters. The best
possible, otherwise the whole house will be contaminated with allergens
afterwards.
HEPA filters, by definition, remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometers (µm) in diameter.
HEPA filters are composed of a mat of randomly arranged fibres. The fibres are typical composed of fiberglass and possess diameters between 0.5 and 2.0 micron. Key metrics affecting function are fibre diameter, filter thickness, and face velocity. The air space between HEPA filter fibres is much greater than 0.3 μm. The common assumption that a HEPA filter acts like a sieve where particles smaller than the largest opening can pass through is incorrect. Unlike membrane filters, where particles as wide as the largest opening or distance between fibres cannot pass in between them at all, HEPA filters are designed to target much smaller pollutants and particles. These particles are trapped (they stick to a fibre) through a combination of the following three mechanisms:
- Interception, where particles following a line of flow in the air stream come within one radius of a fibre and adhere to it.
- Impaction, where larger particles are unable to avoid fibres by following the curving contours of the air stream and are forced to embed in one of them directly; this effect increases with diminishing fibre separation and higher air flow velocity.
- Diffusion, an enhancing mechanism is a result of the collision with gas molecules by the smallest particles, especially those below 0.1 µm in diameter, which are thereby impeded and delayed in their path through the filter; this behaviour is similar to Brownian motion and raises the probability that a particle will be stopped by either of the two mechanisms above; it becomes dominant at lower air flow velocities.
Diffusion predominates below the 0.1 μm diameter particle size. Impaction and interception predominate above 0.4 μm. In between, near the 0.3 μm MPPS, diffusion and interception predominate.
The filter resistance to flow is known as its pressure drop.
