I’m a professional cleaner, 5 things that make cleaning a home so much easier & the things I’ll NEVER clean
A PROFESSIONAL cleaner has lifted the lid on the five things she asks clients to have in their home – and it will make your life easier too.
TikTok user Alyssa, who owns a deep cleaning company, also shared the things she will never touch in a client’s home.
Alyssa said she has five golden rules when it comes to cleaning homes[/caption]Alyssa, who can be found on the social media platform at @alyssacleaningcompany, uploaded a video titled: “5 things house cleaners love to see.”
She then went through the list one by one, starting at the top with a toilet brush.
The cleaning expert explained: “Number one is a toilet brush next to each toilet.
“This is one thing I ask my clients to provide because it’s not sanitary to carry around a toilet brush and the disposable ones are expensive.”

Alyssa went onto the next thing on her list – but said it was likely to cause controversy.
She continued: “The second thing is clear counter tops – I already know some people are going to be like, ‘Aren’t they there to clean up?’
“Actually no – we’re there to clean, not clean up, unless that’s an arrangement you have with your house cleaner, which is fine. But don’t just assume, you have to talk to them first.”
The third item Alyssa insists on is “an empty kitchen sink” as it’s so time consuming to have to do the dishes first.
She also said that a lot of house cleaners wouldn’t clean the sink if they spotted dishes in it so warned it was important not “to assume”.

The fourth item was a personal favourite of Alyssa’s – detachable shower heads.
She said: “Oh my God, I love them! It’s so much easier but I understand that not everyone has them.”

She said she loves it when it is switched on as she’s building up such a sweat cleaning.
