Essentials
A reliable vacuum, a flat mop, buckets, colour-coded microfibre cloths, a core set of products, gloves and a caddy will cover most domestic cleans.
Safe use of products
Official requirement / official guidance
Read product labels and safety data sheets. HSE's COSHH guidance explains working safely with hazardous substances.
Specialist kit
Steam cleaners, carpet cleaners and window-cleaning poles let you offer extra services, but they're best bought once there's demand.
