Safe cleaning materials are a win-win
The right products prevent a great deal of harm. Your domestic helper can get to work safely, their health remains good, and accidents are prevented. In this way, your cleaner not only feels more at ease, but also experiences appreciation, and the risk of an accident is minimal. Naturally, it is also much nicer for you not to be confronted with an accident. Not only can this be frightening, but there is a chance that you might have to do without your trusted cleaner for a while.
Be careful with dangerous products
When purchasing products, always pay attention to the symbols on them. Be careful with flammable, toxic, harmful, and irritating products. Assess the risks—labels are universal—and do not expose your domestic helper to dangerous products. Furthermore, if no label is present, the product may not be used by our domestic helpers. At Easy Life, we train our cleaning helpers as thoroughly as possible in this regard, so they can get to work for you in a responsible manner.
In principle, you choose your own products
The domestic helper cleans with the safe cleaning products you have chosen. You therefore choose the brand and scent entirely yourself. Naturally, we recommend ecological products. Not only are these better for our environment, but they are usually also better for the skin and respiratory system of our domestic helpers. We are happy to provide a list of the must-have cleaning products you should have or get. Of course, you can also always check with your domestic helper to ensure that nothing is missing. Sometimes our cleaning helpers also have specific preferences, allowing them to work even more efficiently. Be sure to engage in a dialogue.
Maintain and replace your equipment regularly
Worn-out brushes, mops, and other cleaning supplies not only clean less effectively, but also make the process slower and demotivating. Therefore, provide yourself with new equipment in good time. It is also much safer, and rest assured that accidents can happen just like that.
Also pay attention to ergonomics
Cleaning is incredibly strenuous. You can be sure that your cleaning helper's body takes a heavy toll. Ergonomic equipment can prevent a lot of discomfort. Ensure that your brush handles are telescopic or at least 1.50 meters long, provide a height-adjustable ironing board, and it is also more pleasant to work with an ergonomic and powerful vacuum cleaner. You will reap the benefits yourself.
Incidentally, domestic help is prohibited from cleaning the outside of windows on an upper floor, even if they open inwards. Working at height is permitted, but only up to a maximum height of 1.60 meters, measured from the ground.
