Quick wins

4 rules every pro cleaner lives by

🧴

Less is more

Too much product leaves sticky residue that attracts dirt. Always measure.

⬇️

Top to bottom

Dust high surfaces first and finish with floors, so dirt only falls once.

⏳

Let it dwell

Give chemicals a few minutes to work before you scrub. Less effort, better results.

🚫

Never mix

Bleach + ammonia or acids makes toxic gas. One product at a time.
