Cleaners, would you clean like this or not?

I’m usually in work when my cleaners come. I always return to everything looking and smelling really good to be fair. There and two and they take 1.5 hours to do a large 4 bed house.

Today I’m home and could see what they do.

They have 2 big bags, one with cloths and another with zoflora, Flash wipe and go, glass cleaner etc.

They don’t use any water at all, they simply ‘wipe and go’ using clean cloths as they go, same with hard floor cleaning, they use removable floor cloths attached to a spray mop.

Im not complaining but it’s not how I would have expected them to clean and does explain why things are a little bit ‘sticky’ afterwards. None of the cleaning products are wiped off. It is all just sprayed, wiped and go.

Is this how cleaning is now? I fill a sink with warm water and cleaning fluid and keep rinsing and wiping as I clean.

Seems a waste of products, also they go through LOADS of cloths!

Cleaner here.

They are using an industry recognised colour coded system to prevent cross infection. Different coloured cloths for different areas. It means your worktops won’t get cleaned with the cloth that did your loo!

The products are probably designed to be sprayed and wiped. If they’re following the instructions, they’re using them correctly.

In fact, overwetting a surface can cause issues. For example, on solid wooden worktops. Wet floors with disinfectant can be harmful to pets who get it on their feet then lick it. So the less products used the better as it’ll dry quicker.
Sounds like they’re doing a good job.

3 hours is not long to fo a 4 bedroom house thoughoughly.

I own holiday cottages and clean them myself. It takes 2 hours absolute minimum to do a one bed. I use eco spray cleaner and wipe it off. Every 3 or 4 cleans I use a bucket of water with diluted cleaner.

My cleaner takes 3.5 hours to do kitchen, sitting room, dining room, hall and 3 bedrooms. It's immaculate after she's left. After cleaning all week I can't face cleaning my own house!!!

@Movinghouseatlast

id rather pay her to do the cottages & mine!!

@Lackoffunding

no, it's not how I clean & it's one reason I do my own.

i use fairy liquid & hot water for most everything. I use very little 'product'.
