Tip: Keep cleaning products that your housekeeper may use together in a basket or box in a designated place. This way, the housekeeper can get started right away.

Ensure that the floors are free of loose objects, cords, or obstacles. This helps prevent falls and allows your domestic helper to work more smoothly and efficiently. Do not forget the stairs: the risk of falling is greatest here.

With your help, together we ensure a safe and pleasant working environment for our domestic helpers and a worry-free spring cleaning!
