I've got an internal clean on Friday.
The house has just been refurbished and it has these v expensive hardwood floors and hardwood window frames.
The owner is an interior designer (concerned about ladder marks) and I have the following two potential challenges:
1. The pad at the top of the 8 ft A frame marking the hardwood. I was considering:
a) Cleaning the pad and showing this to the owner. However; it will still look dirty as it is ground in dirt (unlesss I bleach it???) - but is bleach a good idea on the pad.
b) Putting a the external cover of a big leather mountaineering mitt (will take out fleece inner) over the top of the A-frame.
c) Duct taping the top of the ladder
d) Duct taping some karrimatt / foam pad over the top of the ladder
2. The floors look very slippy. I'm concerned about ladder skidding. I might put these matts down.

Thanking you for your advice on this.
