Hi

I'm still researching into doing domestic cleans again, as it may be easier to break than small office cleaning and i don't have to wait 4-6 weeks to get paid.

Just wanted to ask if domestic cleaners are still using the old faithful pledge, flash, etc. or are there new wonderful multitask cleaning chemicals now on sale?  I used colour coded and microfibre cloths also previously so will be using again, but if there is something new and better on the market, i'll try that. I am a fan of zoflora at home for floors but just read the box, says nothing about floors but use as disinfectant on surfaces in kitchen and bathroom and it kills all bugs etc. I've always used it on my floors mixed with cif ocean or flash, it also says do not mix with other products lol  :o no wonder i was starting to lose the plot. I don't think i'll be doing that again, was an excellent cleaner like that though.

www.nenviro.com pretty much get everything you'll need from there to clean a domestic house. only thing we found more difficult was limescale removal if it hasn't been done in a long time so you may need a stronger product for the first clean but then from there we'd us an eco limescale remover.

even if not eco i personally don't like to use products the customers can/do buy themselves. if you do go with stuff like flash at least try to buy the pro range if they do one.

Thanks, i've been looking through their site and sent an email to them.

Has everyone gone eco? seems a good idea to me but no local wholesalers to me, and are the products as good? we used commercial stuff diluted before and general household stuff.

thanks

 Fantastic thread ;)
 Ive often thought about buying my cleaning products online as I know its cheaper,but Ive never known which company to turn to, Im still buyng products off the supermarket shelves currently,and if their not on offer they can be blimmin expensive.
 So thanks for the link Im gonna have a nosey through,and get myself out of buying off the shelves hopefully very soon ;)

We used clover chemicals for our commercial/office cleans they are fab and they company provide loads of info and training bits for using their chemicals.

Just wondered if anyone thought they would be too strong to use in domestics?

Thanks Denise  :)

I want to better my service this time round, we have always used colour coding even in people homes, but kept the commercial products for offices.

I'm a professional cleaner so i think its only right i use professional products, i thin thats my USP around my way  ;D

I've had a meeting and quote with my local supplier free delivery can't be bad.
