Carry only the cleaning products needed for the current task and keep them in their labeled containers. Arrange the caddy so bottles remain upright and instructions can be read without emptying it. Separate clean cloths from used tools, then return the whole kit to storage appropriate for its products and household.
That’s the whole rule. If you’d rather not be the one auditing bottles — we bring our own, eco-friendly by default, and we follow whatever note you leave on your booking. Message us and we’ll send a price for your place.
Start with the task, not the whole cupboard
Check the surface and product instructions before loading the caddy. Carrying every bottle makes it harder to identify what is needed and increases unnecessary handling. Keep a written room note separate from labels; do not cover safety text with a decorative sticker. A container that does not close securely should not travel around the house as though it were intact.
Preserve the information on the bottle
EPA advises keeping hazardous household products in their original containers and never removing labels or storing them in food containers. Do not combine partly used products to save space. If a label is missing, do not identify a liquid by sniffing or color; set the task aside and seek the owner’s product information or appropriate local guidance.
Separate carrying from safe storage
A caddy is a transport aid, not automatically a safe storage location. During work, keep it away from children and pets and out of walking routes. Afterward, clean or retire used tools according to their instructions and restore bottles to their labeled storage conditions. Do not leave the kit beside a sink because the next room will be cleaned tomorrow.
