FAQs about our cleaning equipment

What type of broom is best for my venue's flooring?

It’s essential to choose the right type of broom to suit your venue’s flooring. Here’s what you need to know

• Soft vs Stiff Bristles —Soft bristles are better for fine dust and hardwood floors, while stiff bristles work well for carpets and rough surfaces. Synthetic bristles like nylon are durable and resist wear, while natural fibres like corn or rattan are good for dry and smooth surfaces.
  
  
• Handle Length — Ergonomically designed handles that are long enough to prevent stooping can reduce fatigue and back strain.
  
  
• Dustpan Design — A dustpan with a rubber edge provides a better seal with the floor for efficient pick-up. Look for dust pans with teeth to comb out debris from the broom.
  
  
• Durability— Heavy-duty plastic or metal construction can withstand frequent use and is easy to clean.

How can I store brooms and dustpans hygienically?

All cleaning equipment should be stored hygienically between uses. We recommend the following tips for storing brooms and dustpans in your space. 

• Use wall-mounted clips or hooks to keep brooms and dustpans off the floor, preventing contamination and bristle damage.
  
  
• Store cleaning tools away from food and food preparation areas to avoid cross-contamination.
  
  
• Clean brooms and dustpans regularly with soap and water and disinfect them to prevent the spread of bacteria.

What’s the most effective way to dust delicate surfaces?

For delicate surfaces, we recommend using the following cleaning tools to reduce the risk of damage and keep your surfaces dust and germ-free.

• Microfiber cloths trap dust effectively without scratching surfaces and can be used dry or slightly damp.
  
  
• Lambswool dusters feature natural lanolin in the wool that attracts and holds dust. The soft texture is also gentle on delicate items.
  
  
• Extendable dusters allow you to reach high or awkward places without applying too much pressure on delicate surfaces.

Can I use the same window cleaning supplies for interior and exterior windows?

Many window cleaning supplies can be used for both interior and exterior windows:

• Squeegees — A good-quality squeegee with a rubber blade can be used on both sides of the window.
  
  
• Glass Cleaners — Non-ammoniated glass cleaners are suitable for both interior and exterior windows and are less likely to leave streaks or damage tinted windows.
  
  
• Microfiber or Cloth Wipes — Use separate wipes for inside and outside to prevent transferring dirt and grime indoors.

Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines when using cleaning equipment for interior and exterior windows. 

What cleaning equipment should I use for kitchen areas vs dining areas?

Kitchen cleaning equipment should include degreasers, grill cleaners, heavy-duty scrubbers, and sanitisers to handle grease and food residue. These products are also best suited for high-temperature areas.
Dining area cleaning equipment should focus on surface sanitisers, glass cleaners and gentle wood polishes. We recommend using microfiber cloths and dusters for tables, chairs and other furniture.
