Cleaning tips from the trade

We've been asking our super customers what tips and tricks they can pass on to their counterparts in the cleaning  and housekeeping industries. Many have methods and techniques that they have used for years and take for granted how genius they really are. This list will be continued to be updated so keep popping back for more tips to help make your cleaning even more effective.

Issue

Coffee stains on carpet

Advice

Selden Window Cleaner! Apparently a good spray of this on the carpet, together with a vigorous scrub, will lift most coffee stains. We're not sure what makes this work, perhaps the added vinegar? Thanks to Di & Cherry

Issue

Marker pen on projector screen, marker pen on grout

Advice

Toothpaste. A bicarbonate toothpaste is the magic product that helps remove most pen marks, apparently. It must be the abrasive element from the bicarb.  Thanks to Sarah and her team.

Issue

Air freshner

Advice

Selden Telephone sanitiser doubles up as an odour eliminator. Whilst the smell isn't overly potent, it does a good job of getting rid of unpleasant smells. Thanks to Gill and the team.

Issue

Dirty alloys wheels

Advice

Tony came bounding up to me the other day delighted with the work of our window cleaner. After putting his Range Rover through a car wash, his wheels were still not clean. Rummaging around his car for some Source products he found some window cleaner and apparently it cuts through the break dust and dirt brilliantly plus leaves a great sparkle on the alloys. Result! Thanks to Tony from CSL.
