I always snapped a photo with my phone of my mothers counter when I cleaned it. She is partially blind and needs everything in the same position.

The mirror magically cleaned itself before she started cleaning the sink. Great video.

People that clean their bathrooms themselves without a maid don’t leave that much crap out on the counter

I do!

Why would you use a sponge inside your sink and the counters isn’t that very dirty? And not wearing gloves nor washing your hands after touching everything and touching all the items after? Cross contamination? I’m not sure if that’s clean if there’s serious bacteria you’ll just be spreading contamination all over your items and counter tops

Realistically, housekeepers dont have that time any more, what use to b 45 mins pr complete room, it went to 30 mins now they are pushing for 25 mins ,,, and some guests hate having their stuff moved. Hotels are cutting time just to budget,, which is why housekeepers now a days are rushing ,, but I liked your video thou..

leticia molloy this looks like it’s her house she’s cleaning

One observation: the toothbrush holder ALWAYS needs to be cleaned from inside. If unreachable, a little cleaning solution and hot water, let it sit, shake it and rinse. If there is an opening like on this toothbrush holder, fold a scouring sponge in half and place it in the opening and clean around with your finger. There are A LOT germs in that holder!

I would never let a cleaning lady touch anything on the inside...I'll do that myself...those sponges get used at other peoples homes...that's gross. I dnt care how much cleaner they use. Just take care of the outside of everything honey!

Where do you get your microfiber cloths? They are a good thickness and look like they hold up well.

Take a picture of how the items are placed on the counter to know how the items are placed back in the same place. Always wipe down top to bottom and underneath items too.

christy dennis that’s what I do 👍🏼

I like the hand towel idea!

I'd wear gloves. Ick. Use that brush to get that crust off, NOT a fingernail, since the crusty is an unknown.

Gloves are required in certain situations as outlined by OSHA standards. Some cleaners wear them the entire time in the home. And some prefer wearing gloves only when required. MTA certification has a section on OSHA standards and PPE.

Maid Training Academy Okay. I do enjoy these videos, because I do learn something new, or a better way. (I, personally cannot touch someone's bathroom without gloves, which is also why I commented, ick)

I Don’t like that items go on floor!! Or your cleaner bottles have touched the floor dump the items in the clean basin

She should of cleaned the bottom of the mirror and she didn’t clean all sides of the square container on the right back corner!! I worked at a well known Hotel for 2 years and a Bed and Breakfast 3 years!! These jobs are Definitely back braking jobs!! Just saying it’s hard to touch base with EVERYTHING!!!!😉

Thanks Mrs Ruger. Gloves are an option anytime you clean and most cleaners use hand sanitizer after each job. You could argue that gloves should be worn from start to finish and some cleaners do just that. We have surveyed hundreds of professional maids and the vast majority don't use gloves, except with harsh chemicals or really yucky cleaning. Here are some of their comments, "They make my hands sweat if worn for long periods of time and will slip off.", "They raise the core temperature of the person where they feel hot all over like wearing a hat." "It is hard to feel items to make sure they are clean." "Gloves rip if worn very long doing this type of work, and they go through lots of gloves during the cleaning."

Mrs Ruger germs already died at the very beginning when she sprayed the surface, if they didn't then those are not good cleaning solutions. Unless harsh chemicals are used (easy off, commercial degreaser, etc) gloves are an option. Hands are a cleaner's best tool. I cleaned a 2100 sq ft home on Friday and the only time I used gloves was at the time of cleaning the stove because I used a degreaser (Super Clean) which is extremely good but harsh on hands.

I don't want to pay that water bill :(

I would l8ke to ask why she is using green cleaning cloth to the area..

Would love to know where you get the cloths?

+DotaCrush Speaking of microfiber cloths. The color code method must be used. Like blue for bathrooms, green for kitchen areas, yellow for dusting and so on. You never want to use a cloth you cleaned a bathroom with to go use it in a kitchen. Even if they have been washed and dried. I also hope the sponges are thrown away before they go to the next room and clean with it, because they hold tons of bacteria.

@@elizabethhamilton4678 exactly madam, have a good day

I want to become a housekeeper, but I don't get how certain things work. I'm actually having a hard time getting my foot in the door as I'm trying to change careers. Is it realistic that a cleaning company would hire someone with zero cleaning experience, but had a Maid Training Academy certificate? Would it be harder for me to get hired being a man? Approx. 8 minutes to clean one counter. How do they get a house clean in the time frame required? Clean is clean and dirty is dirty. If a house takes longer to clean than expected, what happens to the maid? Do they work extra long to get things done? Do they get paid by the employer by the hour all the same. Do the maids get in trouble from the cleaning company that employs them for taking too long? Do the maids work extra for free just so they look good to the employer? I'm assuming the customers get quoted a flat rate of some kind, so if things take longer than expected, what happens? Then what happens if a customer is told it will take 3 hours to clean a place, but it ends up that it will take 4 hours, but that isn't an option because the customer had plans on leaving their home after 3 hours. It's all a very fluid situation. Do maids cut corners so their employer doesn't fire them, thinking they are slow at the job? Or just take as long as it takes and hope you don't get let go from work because the cleaning company you work for expects more from you than is realistic.

janX9 Hello I just left my old Child care job after many years to help the Elderly. I am a Housekeeper for a retirement/rehab facility it’s really easy but lots of disinfectant cleaning same pay as my teaching job but caring eyes for needed Elderly. Theses homes will always need Caring helpers . I use muscles move beds , some medical appliances , pack up items as I discharge a resident . The rooms are small and no overwhelming.

She doesn’t use any gloves?

Every thing should be taken off first we cleanfrom top to bottom professionals housekeepers don't clean this way

I spray my vinegar all over and it cleans and disenfects...

I just watched a professional.

Do not leave the water running. Such a waste.

I would prefer to see gloves worn. Those chemicals ruin your hands.

🤭😱😱😱 GLOVES 🧤?

Thanks Jubiliee. See the comments under Mrs Ruger's comments for feedback. Yes, Gloves should and can be worn but the comments below should be reviewed. Thanks again for your comments.
