Recommended Supplies

Clients are to provide all of their own cleaning & organizing supplies** for use during all services.  Based on client’s priority list & individual goals, the following are recommended to have for housekeeper to use:

• Supply caddy (one or two, depending on number of supplies)
• Reuseable rubber gloves
• Lots of absorbent towels if available (such as: rags, wash clothes, micro-fiber clothes, reusable baby diapers, hand towels, etc – whatever client has available as several are used during each clean – the more available, the better)
• Paper towels (especially if towels are not being used to wash windows, counters, toilets, etc)
•  Clorox wipes (if cleaner & towels/power towels are not being used to clean toilets & other surfaces)
• Sponges (for cleaning showers, sinks & counters)
• Duster (with extendable handle is helpful for high areas) & duster refills (if using Swiffer)
