When you hire a cleaning service, numerous questions rummage through your head: Are the cleaners vetted? Are the services insured? And finally, Do cleaning services bring their own supplies? It’s a fair question. After all, the last thing you want is to book a cleaning session and then rummage for sponges and a working vacuum while the cleaners wait at the door.

In most cases, professional cleaners bring their supplies. That being said, there can be exceptions. This blog post will provide some clarity:

Standard Practice

Almost all cleaning services bring their own supplies for one reason: To comply with work health and safety protocols. For instance, under the Australian occupational health and safety (OHS) laws, employers are required to ensure safe working conditions and provide the necessary tools and equipment for the job. 

Typical Supplies Used by Cleaners

Professional cleaning services Melbourne show up with a full kit of supplies to handle every kind of mess. Basic tools include:

  • Brooms
  • Dustpans
  • Sponges 
  • Mops
  • Buckets
  • Microfiber cloths

These are essential for basic dusting and cleaning. Professionals also bring all-purpose cleaners, detergents, and glass cleaners so your surfaces and countertops are left squeaky clean.

In terms of machinery, professionals bring:

  • Vacuum cleaners
  • Floor buffers
  • Steam cleaners

Rubber gloves, trash bags, shoe covers, and toilet bowl covers are also part of the cleaning kit. 

Benefits of Cleaners Using Their Own Supplies

Here are four reasons why it’s better for cleaners to bring their own supplies:

Reduced Cost

Let’s get one thing straight: Cleaning supplies and tools aren’t cheap. And buying a whole lot of equipment for a once-in-a-while deep cleaning session isn’t the most financially wise decision. There is a huge chance you can book a professional cleaning service for the same cost, or even less.

Professional-Grade Tools

Reliable cleaning services use professional-grade products and tools that are more effective than your average grocery store cleaning agents. These supplies are designed to ensure deep, long-lasting cleaning results. 

For instance, a cleaner might bring a high-end vacuum cleaner designed with advanced filtration technology to trap dust and allergens. Such results might not be possible with a regular household vacuum. 

More Consistent Cleaning Results

When cleaners use familiar tools and products, they work quickly and more efficiently. They know which cleaning liquid works best for which stain. This will lead to more thorough and consistent cleaning results.

Peace of Mind

When you book a cleaning service, you shouldn’t have to worry about buying and storing equipment. This is your opportunity to lie back and let the cleaners do their job.

Meeting Efficient Cleaning Standards

Many homeowners are concerned about the cleanliness of the equipment professional cleaners use. And their concern is perfectly valid. There is, however, a simple solution.

Ask how the cleaning company cleans, maintains, and prepares the equipment they use. Make sure they disinfect every tool that comes in contact with the surfaces. 

If you or someone in your home has allergies, let the cleaning company know beforehand. They will use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, or eco-friendly cleaning products as they are less likely to trigger reactions.
