meeting this thread is a dream come true. please I'm into cleaning biz partially I will like to know any chemical i can use for upholstery and rug stains and the best solution for marble wash and polishing thanks

ab3458: meeting this thread is a dream come true. please I'm into cleaning biz partially I will like to know any chemical i can use for upholstery and rug stains and the best solution for marble wash and polishing thanks

for upholstery and rug stain,u can mix a detergent with any bleaching agent to get rid of the stains and brush off. For polishing tiles, go to where u bought ur tiles and ask for ur polish. Before polishing,make sure the floor has been well mobbed and well dried. Also use a dry and clean mob for that. After applying ur polish,leave for some time and then use ur buffer to produce heat which wil in turn shine the surfaces. Hope u get it? All the best.

Great job u re doing here I must confess.I registered a cleaning & waste management company in 2010,bt ve only bn doing waste management jobs only due to d fact that I dnt knw anything abt cleaning, though I ve always loved d service. My challenge is that I dnt ve d time to personally go learn d cleaning stuff becos of d nature of my job.By d way, d waste management stuff,I do it part time ,by that I mean I ve people working for me on that,I jst secure d job nd I send my boys to go execute.my question now is,ow do incorporate cleaning services into it all since I dnt ve any experience in it and for now I can't afford d time to go learn abt it due to my job?

Afro, please can you recommend any chemical or soap to wash bathroom tiles till it sparkles white? you can probably use a chemical called o2. you will sightly rub the chemical on the suffice of the jacuzzi and the tiles. you wont believe the whiteness afterwards.

valentino81: Pls, I want to know how much I can charrge a two storey building hostel self contained with 72 rooms with a commom room and a very large enviroment for post construction cleaning. All rooms, staircase and verander are tiled. So, I want to know the average amount dt can be charged? Suggestions are dully welcome.

I need info on HOW TO GET CLEANING CONTRACTS in the UK..There are many people setting up cleaning companies but I dont know which dept to approach to start getting small contracts ,for a start.Please if you know how they do it ,especially getting contracts from government ,schools,agencies,supply info and guidance.
I have no problem setting up the business ,getting cleaning materials ,equipment and getting part time workers.THANKS

Afrocatalyst:
you might nt understand the chemical component but frm d popular perspective,use harpic. If it proves sturborn,mix it wit scouring powder and apply,leave for 30mins n scrub. If it doesnt clear,change the tiles,they re cheap.

where can I get scouring powder?

visit your local council environmental department. They will give you guidelines.

visit any shopping mall near you or go to the market.

Afrocatalyst: For the cement stains on the glasses,use a smooth scraper to scrape out the stains and then wash wit a detergent. Bt the stains in between the rails,scrape to weaken them and then use a vacuum blower to push them out. You can replicate the same for the floor or use a buffer with scrubber. The only problem is that if you are using a buffer you have to soak d floor wit tile cleaner or a mixture of vim,jik and harpic wit detergent. Leave for 30mins and use the machine. Otherwise,go manual.

Good day Mr Afro catalyst,i run an Environmental Resources Management company called Kwesy Nig Company(kwesyng.com)We also run cleaning services.The company took off these year and have been able to execute a project
of a storey building of 4 flats (2 bedroom apartment each) and about starting a 2 storey first bank building but i have some issues about my quotation because am still trying to attract more clients and besides this will the first commercialbuilding i will be handling.Please sir i will need to learn some ideas from you seems you have been in the business for a while.Thank you very much sir.My phone # is 08121281083

[quote author=Yomkris]@ Afrocatalyst, tnx 4ur contributns here. Pls it just occur to me now dat i have a house i can practice wit. My brother's house has just been completed and the aluminium glass windows there are seriously loaded wit cement. Pls can u just give me the tips of what i can use and how to clean the folowin @d site just for practical purpose b4 i can get someone to learn from profesionaly.
(1) d cement stained window glasses
(2) d tiles
(3) d toilet wc.

Guess i should add that when about to scrape the cement you need to soak the cement first with water andeave for few minutes as this will minimise the scracthing of the glass surface and try to put tilt your scrapper at an angle of 45degrees to reduce friction on the glass then mop with a clean dry cloth followed by spaying your glass cleaning detergent.Wipe with another clean cloth or use a squeegee where needind.

@afrocatalyst.Thanks I will contact the suggested dept/section.Well appreciated .

Nice input tho. Scratching the glasses is a big offence by cleaning service pros. Try avoid it as much as possible.

Afrocatalyst:
terrazzo floor washing powder, just sprinkle on wet terrazzo floor,leave for some minutes and scrub.

pls hw much and where can i get this terrazzo washing powder?

Afrocatalyst, pls I can't view u on whatsapp. Try to contact me 08023819105

Hello all. For more tips on cleaning you can follow @ActiClean on Twitter. There are safer way to clean without using harmful chemicals. Thank me later. Cheers

Afrocatalyst and his team were in my house for thorough cleaning and arrangement and I must say they did a wonderful job. Despite the distance, they still did the job with their hearts. Thumbs up to them. Already recommended them for a company who needs a cleaning agent.
Will continue using them henceforth. Thanks guys

Thankx mitchyy. You deserve to be appreciated more. People like you are rare...

delln,you're right you know. Taking some measures to counter the effect of the one inhaled is very important for health reasons.
One way I discovered and have started practising is the warm lemon water early morning recipe. I get a fresh lemon,cut into two and squeeze out the juice in a glass cup and then fill up with warm (not scalding hot o) water. Then drink with a straw.
I have found this to be very helpful as it creates free radicals in my system to fight off the effects of any harmful or unwanted elements in my system.
It works folks,lemon is a fruit packed with a lot of benefits.
Ciao.
