Wear your apron at all times when cleaning.

Always have these items in the same place on your apron for every step. Keep them clean and replace if they become too worn to clean with:

All-purpose

You will be using this one in almost every step. It’s used as a degreaser if sprayed on the mess itself or for scrubbing when you use a cloth already wet with all-purpose.

1-2 blue cloths

Used for cleaning glass and toilets (dispose immediately after)

Be sure to toss into dirty cloths bag when too dirty to clean efficiently.

1-2 white cloths

Used for drying sinks/tubs/showers and polishing metal, sinks, etc. to shine.

Great for picking up dust and hair, but don’t use on mirrors as they tend to smear and scratch by picking up dust and dragging it on the surface.

Feather duster

For quick dusting on recurring cleans.

Toilet toothbrush

This is used to get into corners and edges a cloth can’t reach to scrub.

Ex: grime on small edges on cabinets.

Scraper

Used mostly on kitchen counters and bathroom counters to scrape up junk stuck to the surface that doesn’t come off with a cloth.

Metal toilet screen

(Comet, Barkeeper’s, and the scrub brush should be put next to item currently cleaning)
