Fair point, Annie. My George grill is about to take on it's third year of service though."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

I can't picture students using a mop and bucket...
We rented a furnished flat once, it came with a hoover, mop, ironing board, iron, saucepans, crockery and cutlery. I wasn't expecting any of them. The ironing board, iron, saucepans, crockery and cutlery were still in their packaging when we left 3 years later.0 -

If the house has no carpets then why would they need a vacuum-cleaner? A broom, maybe a dustpan-and-brush plus a mop-and-bucket. All in, about a tenner's worth.
Nothing to get worked up about at all.0 -

lol.., no Pimento.., the mother role is to stand over the mop, bucket, telling your darling one how to scrub/clean and making pointed comments along the lines that if they can do a degree they can puzzle out how to clean a floor/wall/room. If u'r really lucky u can do it to all the other little darlings who live there at the same time lol. BOGFF (four instead of one).
My son is 16, has aspergers and dyspraxia, but is well able to do the washing up and has occasionally been asked to do the floor if I've been unable to. And erm, he gets praised when he does a good job.., and being the evil creature I am, I send him back if he hasn't!
And somehow (I am not sure I understand this either) he still seems to see me as a good mum lolol. He could find that non of his housemates are willing to share with him again though lol.0 -
It looks OK. The house has no carpets, just laminate so it would almost certainly be just the job. Thanks for the tip.
erm ... if it only has laminate then you don't need a vacuum cleaner, it could even scratch the laminate! You need a brush & dustpan and one of those mops you pop a microfibre cloth on the end of & all done! <£10 for the lot & easy to use too!0
