My Maid LLC Training Video

Our company training video.

[@sondrac8809]

Always wear gloves when cleaning. Remove toilet seat cover before starting to toilet. Best to laundry the toilet seat cover or replace with clean one from linen closet. Same process for bath rugs and towels. Avoid cross contamination, use disposable rags, or one rag for bathroom, different rags for the kitchen cleaning. Wash and sanitize the plastic scraper before using in kitchen. Moreover, housekeeping begins in the cleanest room (kitchen), then extends to bedroom and bathrooms.

[@davidorta9860]

Thank u this helped

[@katherinemay4888]

Thank you for your advice. It's very helpful. I'm a new house cleaner and am trying to come up with a system and I DEFINITELY don't want my cleaning services to cross contaminate or spread germs. Anything I use on a toilet is disposable (paper towel) & is not used again/anywhere else.

[@sondrac8809]

@@katherinemay4888 While taking a tour of the prospective clients house, make notes about rooms that will need the most attention. Try to stay with a basic cleaning plan for your business depending on the occupants; family with children, singles as roommates, seniors, couples, or home based business. Ask the client to provide you with 2 sets of sheet sets for each bed. You can pull the dirty sheet sets off and immediately change them with the alternate clean set while you laundry during your house cleaning process. Timing the job is crucial for initial spring cleaning for the first visit, then weekly maintenance visits. Spring cleaning will get the home to a manageable status so you won’t need to spend as much time on weekly maintenance visits. Very difficult to have a contract that has cleaning on a biweekly (every two or three weeks) rather than a weekly, because you have more soil. The bath tub, toilet, kitchen, oven, stove, refrigerator, kitchen floors, other hard floors throughout house, are dirtier when not cleaned weekly. Don’t forget to feather-dust the curtains because they collect a lot of dust from open windows. Follow the manufacturer directions for products and tools. Consider keeping notes about what products and tools you used during the job. Do not cross contaminate while cleaning, especially careful with kitchen. Charge these cheap clients a higher fee if not weekly because you will have more work to do each visit. Improve your cleaning skills, the speed and confidence will follow. I like to play symphony music while cleaning. Offer discounts for weekly contract customers to estimate for your business accounting professional. Make sure your business is legal with proper license, insurance, government regulations, taxes, banking, and legal/business representation. Consider how you want to accept payments and be firm about gettttttttting paiiiiid. Auntie Sondra

Washes half of the mirror, Doesn't mop the bathroom. Uses a swifter duster that's dirty. Never spray liquid on electronic panel use a damp cloth

[@owenkellogg3130]

Take the "Sterilite" sticker off of your cleaning caddy. Wear separate housekeeping shoes, leave your outside shoes by the front entrance on a clean rag (Mr. Siga is very effective and affordable, though not true microfiber). Don't leave lights on or blinds open in any room you are not cleaning unless the client has asked for that. Use a 360 Swiffer Duster. Use a clean microfiber cloth to dust canvas on wall art rather than the dirty Swiffer Duster. Don't halfass blinds. A non scratch or melamine sponge is better than a brush for scrubbing and lighter in the caddy. Don't rinse the shower; wipe it down. Never put your cleaning caddy on the counter. Spot clean mirror as shown and/or with 0000 steel wool (never get the steel wool wet). Wipe the mirror from top to bottom with a clean microfiber rag. Spray the rag, not the counter. Clean toilet seat first. When cleaning the toilet base, clean the entire surrounding floor also with a rag to save time when vacuuming and mopping. Wipe off rim and polish handle after final flush. Don't touch the client's toilet paper with your gross hands. Vacuum bathmats with attachment. Clean lamps while they're off to avoid burning dust or duster on the bulb. Use a lint roller on lampshades and fabric picture frame stands. Use a clean microfiber cloth to dust TV screens. Spot clean with TV cleaner. Vacuum couch pillows with attachment (separate from rug and mat attachment). Polish alarm clock faces with dry microfiber cloth. Dust hood range with clean microfiber cloth. Spray glass microwave plate with cleaner and turn on microwave for 30 seconds if dirty (don't burn yourself on hot plate). Always clean oven glass with 0000 steel wool or The Pink Stuff, same with glass stove top. Never use a razor blade. Remove knives to dust and spot clean knife block. Remove K-cups to dust holder. Use a paper towel to handle fruits and vegetables on kitchen counter. Rinse rags at home, use fresh rags as rags get dirty. Use Dawn, baking soda and cold water in garbage disposal. Clean the underside of the splash guard. Edge vac. Mop by spraying floors with water only (use a gallon pressure sprayer) and cleaning with microfiber cloths that are replaced often. Clean the front entrance threshold on your way out. Move very fast. Invest $500 a month into a Roth IRA. Live below your means. Retire early. Good luck out there fellow housekeepers, and thanks to the content creator for producing this guide!

[@doripeeples4802]

Pretty good video. Minor mishap. It’s mentioned “never wear shoes in a clients home” n then you see the young lady wearing her sneakers in the bathroom n inside of the shower.

[@efdiscovers3666]

Not safe without shoes.

[@allaboutshoes6601]

Yeah I peeped that but I thought she started taking them off at the door and she didn't sweep or mop the bathroom floor, and the toilet paper was pre folded, i really needed to see how it's done because I'm a housekeeper and I'm having trouble getting my tissue paper corners 🤔 so what I do is just open up a new roll of tissue. smh

I use paper towels for toilets .. ! Throw away .. lol

when i cleaned motel rooms, we had to pull the plugs out of the sink and tub and check for soap scum and hair,i notice they don't do this. also check and remove and rinse filter in coffee maker.

Great training video ! On another note why is she not wearing any gloves for protection ? Lol she touched that toilet seat with bare hands 🤮

[@veronicarong3380]

Just wish they can do a real cleaning tutorial.. with really dirty rooms😀

[@ChildlessCatLady]

Go check out Aurikatariina's youtube channel. She cleans very dirty homes for free and loves every minute of it. I love watching her each week.

[@PurdyBear1]

When cleaning a bathroom double disposable glove 🧤 In the UK it’s red cloths for bathrooms. Elsewhere it’s single gloves and blue cloths except for the kitchen where you use green.

[@vanishinglyyy]

i see a lot of criticisms in the comments and while there are definitely positive things about this video, i have to comment on how nasty that rag is that she is wiping around the whole kitchen, including the water dispenser that people press their clean glasses against which they then put their mouths on. be conscious of what your rags are touching when you're in a kitchen AND where you are spraying cleaning product which can be toxic. for example i wouldn't spray it on the kettle that water is poured from, or near any clean dishes or food, like produce. the droplets always go farther than we think they do. and a different rag should be used on the counters than on the appliances and all the other grimey things. while the goal is for everything to look clean, if one isn't actively thinking about the invisible spread of bacteria and chemicals, you may be leaving things shiny but unsanitary or unsafe. and one more thing: chemical-laden cleaning products cause cancer. and cleaning people have the highest exposure. there are studies linking professional cleaning to lung cancer and other cancers. wear a mask, or only use toxic products sparingly as needed (in bathrooms, for example).

[@archiedawg4877]

I’m always weird about terry cloth towels, they’re great as far as being absorbent but they are not smooth clean with.I find microfiber is so much more efficient-also keeping your microfiber towel folded properly so you can flip it as you clean to always have a clean surface to work with. I wouldn’t suggest spraying cleaners over open container such as salt and pepper and the food that was on the island. Always clean off the areas you’re going to clean including the kitchen sink before you clean it. I would also suggest wearing gloves. Keeping felt around the edges of your tools(you can pick up rolls of felt at Walmart and a cheap hot glue gun.(The glue peels off anything when you need it too) such as your vacuum/mop anything that could knock up against a customers trim. Don’t forget to clean off the light switches. it’s all about the details definitely a little lot of retraining needs to be done. But if that’s all you expect from your house keepers I guess it would be an easy gig

[@betsydechellis7584]

since she isn't barefoot, It would be helpful to say change your shoes because working without wearing shoe could be very dangerous.

[@sophicakes22]

She said to wear shoe covers

[@keepingitrealUK]

This should be title How not to clean a clients home. I like to see a nice crisp uniform that way all maids look the same and the company looks professional. I would have thought not wearing shoes would be a health hazard, as the maid could drop anything on her toes. Not very productive or hygienic. The maid is going from one place to the other. Start to the left of the entry door, and clean top to bottom, left to right and work your way around. That way nothing is missed and your not crossing your path. I hate companies that only spot clean, when the customer is paying for a thorough clean. This maid is contaminating each room I would never use this company. It is important not to contaminate cloths, therefore every room should have a colour coded cloth for each purpose, in this video the maid is using the same colour cloth for the living room and bedroom that was used in the bathroom and the same colour cloth used to clean a toilet was used to clean the water dispenser, worktops and stove top, this can easily cause contamination if the maid grabbed the wrong cloth. Again she used the same brush used in the shower that was used around the oven. I use Red for toilets, Pink for the rest of the bathroom or basins etc., Yellow for kitchens, Green for living rooms and Blue for mirrors and glass etc.

[@AriannaAyers]

Nice video, particularly the uplifting but not overpowering music. Pleasant, affable, and youthful voice. Would recommend PPE, and color coded microfiber cloths.

[@wandameans7940]

Nice video, I've been doing this 26 years full time. I do not wear shoes but do wear socks. Never wore gloves,just wash my hands good between areas....we are using cleaning products

[@sellyourhomenowbook]

Nice video. Thank you. The home was very clean to start with imho.

[@AnnaISmith]

I see so many cringe-worthy moments here. Not sanitizing the toilet handle (just think... the hands that touch this handle have most likely germs) light switches and door knob. Shake bath rugs thoroughly outside. Not cleaning the bath floors. Sloppy cleaning work around the toilet. Clean the whole mirror. And please mop floors. The cleaning rags are too thick (folded too many times). There is no way you can get into corners etc when the rag is folded like that. That is only one room. I could go on and on. And just a suggestion if you find that dust settles on furniture too soon after cleaning it might be because your vacuum is not very efficient at filtering dust particles. I suggest vacuuming first and dusting (with a really good micro fiber cloth) last. That's the way we were taught to do it and it really helps with keeping surfaces dust-free longer.

[@maryclaireyder1554]

In cleaning toilet bowls better use a kitchen towel to be disposed after as a proper hygiene ..imagining all the urine and poops splashed around it..

Good video, but using the speed cleaning products and zen maid Id think they would train using the speed cleaning of not back tracking and also the mop isnt the same way, and using washes the mirrors using circular motion which brings any dirt back to the clean area

[@margaritaglass4187]

When she clean the outside of the refrigerator, why she didn't look inside Incase of a spill or mess inside so that can be clean also. And why she is not wearing a gloves

[@doloresleyva8810]

Wow, many critics and not enough realize that this is training a so the company probably has a booklet to give the pure details plus on the job instruction. The posting is a good example of cleaning and mind you it is a private residence and not an office building which either would need to be sanitized maybe differently. They do not go into specifics as to what kinds of cloths or cleaners are used so there is much more probably that the inter training provides. Plus the home is extremely clean. I would believe the use of heavy gloves and different methods would be essential if the home were riddled with grime, germs and other. All in all I being just a lay person learned alot about how to do a basic cleaning which is what this example is. Thanks.

[@yadirasantiago7368]

I could not continue watching after she touched a toilet with bare hands. GLOVES GLOVES GLOVES!!! Also, shoes need to be worn to protect your feet. However, she had no shoe covers. If the goal is to train, this is just confusing to the viewer.

I guess I’m missing something of I’ve been cleaning incorrectly for some years but I don’t get the bit about spot cleaning bathroom 😅mirror or cabinets……I clean entire mirror & all of cabinets. And honestly I didn’t understand the cleaning toilet….didn’t seem like it was really cleaning it….maybe I missed something….and it looked like the same rag was used on just about everything and no cleaning liquids? I heard her say something about “basic cleaning”…..just didn’t seem like really cleaning much. I did see where maybe using a different rag in kitchen. I guess I was brought up cleaning the “military way”……and I did see where she did use a spray liquid some in kitchen. As I was growing up when my dad said clean he meant clean….and he said it with a smile and kindness…..but clean you shall do! She did a good job…guess I was just looking at the different ways of cleaning.
