What would be the ultimate test of someone's ability to be a good cleaner?
I recon it's the stainless steel hood over the hob - it takes skill and dedication to get one of those clean without leaving it looking streaky. |

isn't baby oil/lotion the secret to getting that streak free finish on stainless steel |

Baby oil is perfect for that job. So I've been told  |

Baby oil does the trick apparently.
High level cleaning is often neglected and not done well.
Hence I tend to home in on these areas by standing at the top of the stairs and look down during audits of facilities.

"I just get someone to do mine
But what is it they do which makes you think they are a good cleaner... or not?"
.
Mine may not be the most thorough of cleaners, however, I'd rather she cleans for me, as I shan't be doing it myself!

The odd thing is polo, that most people I know who have cleaners, run around cleaning before they come so I guess they do a good job based on the fact its cleaned twice ? |

I hate cleaning my own flat but I quite like sorting other people's places out. Funnily enough I've just made a deal to clean out my mates kitchen cupboards in exchange for Sunday dinner! I think there may be something wrong with me. |

I wouldn’t look for advice from the cleaners of this cardboard box hotel I’m presently holed up in Aberdeen …
My shower drain is partially blocked with a disgusting mixture of pubes and a fowl smelling gunge that doesn’t look healthy and the shower curtain is minging
The room window won’t open wider than the thickness of a rizla paper and the carpet smells really bad,,, like seriously bad,,,,,,,,,,,,, and I found what looked like bit of toe-nail clipping under the welcome brochure....But I now suspect it might just be a piece of dried onion or something from a pot noodle type snack

I would say a person who pays attention to details and cleans thoroughly the places that can be seen and those that can't.
The cooker is a good place to start. If you can stroke your hand inside the cooker and the ceramic is smooth then it's clean. The big test is the roof of the cooker, if that has black burnt on bits then it's still dirty. Oh and sparkling silver shiny racks with not a bit of food stuck on them.
I'm also a sucker for looking at skirting boards and plumbing pipes in the bathroom. They should be clean and dust free. And electric cables should be clean.
You can't clean just using a Hoover and a mop, you have to get on your knees and move furniture to clean behind things.
I love cleaning, I find it therapeutic. Cleaning professionally for a living is certainly not an easy task and it's very physical |

I'd love a house that was super-mega-squeaky clean but I don't have time for that crap. If I did cleaning to that level plus my job, I'd have no time left for 'life' and fun. The bits that count are clean (bathroom and kitchen), the carpets are hoovered-ish and the dishwasher is kept ticking over.
As for difficult things to clean - venetian blinds! I think I'm going to get rid of all mine! Bliddy things!  |
