New cleaner - what products to buy?

I have a new cleaner starting this week & need to buy the products but I've no idea what to get! Previous cleaners have brought their own products with them!

They'll mainly be cleaning bathrooms, kitchen floor, hoovering & polishing.

Any recommendations gratefully received! FWIW, I use antibacterial wipes to wipe down surfaces etc but expect she'd rather get have proper stuff!

Get a multipurpose product and ask the cleaner if she has any preferences? White vinegar spray is good on all sorts of things like glass and furniture.

I would suggest

Spray bleach, for stains on worktops or tiles
Antibacterial cleaner
Cream cleaner
Limescale remover
Glass cleaner
Toilet bleach
Floor cleaner
Zoflora
Possibly stainless steel cleaner
Lots of colour coded cloths!

To be honest though, I would send a message and ask what they would prefer!

If you have any surfaces like granite maybe a special cleaner for that?

You're welcome. I apologise for a fairly crap answer but I was bumping your thread. Ashamed that I assumed the cleaner was female. I know many male cleaners too. I wouldn't recommend bleach spray.

iheartmichellemallon · 09/04/2018 22:06

Thanks both. I did ask re preferences by was told it's whatever I prefer as it's my house & happy to work with what I like due to smells etc!

How many cloths do you reckon? Any particular kind? How do you best colour code?

You can get packs of different microfibre cloths in pound shops, but the glass cloth in Home Bargains is excellent and cheap.
I was thinking of my friend's cleaner when I said she. Friend's cleaner likes the method stuff.

Thanks! Will go cleaning product shopping tomorrow!
