What does tidying up have to do with it...? 💭

 The whole notion of cleaning ought to be all encompassing as the definition of cleaning can be termed the act of clearing out, organising/re-ordering, decluttering a space with the holistic aim of eliminating dust, grime, controlling infection and keeping things in order. 

Yet, in the real practice of cleaning in many realities, one may achieve clearing out yet not all the other intrinsic details- organising a space, infection control et al... due to the factors of limited time, limited human resources, work load, different personalities, lack of attention to detail and so on...

But we argue that it is an incomplete task to to clean and not apply basic tidying to the space.
Basic tidying of a space simply gives a third party the allowance to organize a space without completely changing the space.

As professional cleaners of sorts, in delivering housekeeping services, we try to ensure that we don't just confront the dirts and grimes but that we also confront things lying around just to ensure the optimal outcome of a clean and basically organised space.

Yes, tidying is "confronting yourself" yet thorough cleaning (housekeeping cleaning to be exact) must embrace some form of tidying.
The degree to which tidying can occur within a professional cleaning is argued to be dependent on the cleaning contract agreement, the duration of work conclusion agreed, the extent of privacy desired by the client, and the level of attention to detail shown by the cleaner(s).

We aren't disregarding that tidying requires a personal (me) touch yet as cleaners we believe it is a must-do yet the degree or extent of application varies.

Sweep. Dust. Mop [S. D. M]

In cleaning there are many fundamentals that form our operations and enable efficiencies across board and effective productivity.Even in this Artificial intelligence era, those fundamentals can't be disregarded. Looking closely at fundamentals, we find that there are some generic and some tweaked to fit the innovativeness of the cleaning operator concerned. As a company, we have embraced the fundamentals of sweep, dust and mop as one of those that we use daily. Ofcourse we know that it may not be the case 0.09% of times within our operations yet it is more the case than not... Especially as we operate predominantly, for now, within the Tropics, when we get to a cleaning site, our cleaning operatives are encouraged to engage-always bearing in mind one of our essential fundamentals to sweep then dust then mop [99.99% of the times]. Ofcourse, we keep seeking ways to grow and improve upon our operations and so are to tweak fundamentals... As our Chief P. says, "where we are isn...

Series 2 - Historical exploration of our main cleaning materials

The mop is another very essential cleaning tool that is needed significantly to capture residual dust on floor surfaces after a round of sweeping and an initial dust trapping/capturing with the dust rag or napkin or duster(different terms , meaning same thing). The mop is said to be categorised into two types- wet mop and dry mop. The wet mop is known to require the involvement of a solvent (liquid) solution - consisting of 💧 water and a detergent or other cleaning reagent for effective cleaning and dust absorption. Through the process of thorough rinsing or washing if very soiled and proper drying, one is able to maintain the wet mop. The wet mop head is made of mostly cloth materials or sponge material and its body frame consists of the stick handle- wooden or metallic in nature. On the other hand, the dry mop- characterized by the flat head of strings connected by a swivel (which enables a more flexible motion and reach to areas with limited access than the wet mop) It ...

It is all in the hands and eyes...

It is all in the hands and eyes! As always the very foundation of a thing is important in ensuring growth  with very strong rootedness thus ensuring far-reaching outcomes.  As a company that values detail we believe that cleaning must be executed with the mindfulness that the hands and eyes have a most significant role to play in effecting detail. We always say that what we do is important but how we do what we do is even more important.  Therefore, with  the value of detail underscoring our cleaning practices, the mindful and skillful use of ones hands guided by the eyes will yield a most satisfactory cleaning experience.This is not to say that any disability found in the hands or eyes means one would not clean effectively. No! This age of Artificial Intelligence begs to defer; yet through the conscious use of our eyes and hands, we will yield better cleaning manually or mechanically.
