What cleaning products do you buy your housekeeper ?

Happy Sunday all,

I tend to purchase my housekeeper a brand of cleaning product called "Mr Muscle", I have never really thought about it, but some of these bottles are costing a fortune, is there a less expensive (but equally as good) option for my purchases?

I clean houses for a living and the main cleaner I use is bleach,Aldi one is 49p a bottle.White vinegar is good aswell.

The staff here do a superb job using Aldi kitchen cleaner in an orange bottle not dissimilar to Mr M. That and plenty of elbow grease keeps 'em happy till they are dismissed for the day........

I would have thought the housekeeper has some preferences of their own.

I prefer plain supermarket branded thick bleach for the toilet, thin bleach for bathroom surfaces. I put them into a spray bottle to make it go further but your housekeeper may have an alternative preference.

I use a lemon vinegar mix in the kitchen again in a plain spray bottle.

I've no idea as the chauffeur is responsible for buying all the household consumables, distributing them to the various staff and ultimately firing those that don't keep the place up standard.

Another vote here for Aldi cleaning products. They are all perfectly good quality. In addition we tend to provide Stardrops which is an old-fashioned multi-purpose cleaner that replaces all of those specific items for bathroom, kitchen, toilet, etc. When you have domestic staff it is reasonable for them to put in the effort to get the best out of the products you provide, they should not expect fancy brands.

I use Aldi toilet cleaner, but nearly everything else is done with white vinegar, washing up liquid, soda crystals and bicarbonate of soda

Flash 'clean and shine' is a great all purpose surface cleaner. Tiles, worktops, doors/ flat walls etc.

I've no idea. That's for the butler to manage and organise.
