Does anyone have any favorite cleaning tools for that make cleaning faster and easier?
I have all tile floors and I’ve looked at all in one sweeping and mopping machines, but there are so many. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Heather

Hi @Patricia2526 😊,
Thank you for sharing this here!
Do you also include a product with it? If so, which one?
-----
Bona floor system, been using it for years. Easy to use, easy to refill, and pads are washable.
Hi @Greg2406 😊,
Thank you for participating here!
I didn’t know about these. Where do you usually buy everything?
-----
Online or big retail stores for purchase of the Bona items. For the really larger projects, we use a Hoover power cleaner. It does a great job on both wood, tile, and vinyl floors. General note, the real wood floors takes a different cleaner from the tile floors.
Hi @Greg2406 😊,
Thank you for letting me know!
I wanted to ask you, what do you use for tile floors?

Hi @Heather2182 😊,
What a great question!
Do you handle the cleaning yourself?
I’m tagging other hosts to see what tips they might have: @Casa-De-La-Tierra0, @Graham490, @Nandini11, @Ranveer1 and @Montana20.
Thank you in advance!

I’m not sure which brand is considered the best in your country, but here in India things are a bit different 😊. I actually have a maid who does the regular dusting and mopping of the floors, but I still like to go over everything myself to make sure it’s spotless. For example, I use a vacuum cleaner for the sofa and bedrooms, and I keep different types of tools just for the washrooms. So while I can’t suggest a specific all-in-one machine, maybe my routine gives you some ideas about mixing manual and machine cleaning to get the results you want.
Hi @Nandini11 😊,
Thank you for sharing this here!
Did you always have a maid, or did you handle things by yourself at first?

@Elisa I clean everything and make sure it’s crystal clear after the maid had cleaned
Hi @Nandini11 😊,
Thank you for your kind reply.
This sounds like a lot of work, well done!
Do you also work at the same time? How do you manage to balance both?

Thank-you @Elisa 🌝
Yes i have other works to do…but my first priority for the homestay is always cleaning.
The moment guest has checked-out i start cleaning the place by myself so that the other guest doesn’t need to face any issue with cleaning … as booking can comes anytime so i just make myself sure that the place is crystal clear as soon as the past guest has left . If there is no guest staying i use to do it on an alternative day(after one day) but i make sure everything is clean…..
It just makes me happy to do…. I just feel so satisfied after seeing my place clean. 🙂
Hi @Nandini11 😊,
Thank you for your kind reply.
I’m like you, I love to see my place clean and organized; it sets my mood for the whole day.
Thank you for sharing all this, and I wish you a lovely end of the day!
