Match the cleaner to the surface

  • Kitchen: prioritise effective degreasers, food-safe surface products and absorbent cloths.
  • Bathroom: choose limescale, soap-scum and mould solutions suited to your fittings.
  • Living spaces: use gentle multi-surface care and the correct products for wood, glass and upholstery.
  • Always check: read the label and test unfamiliar products on a hidden area first.

Choose the right tool

Small upgrades, easier cleaning

  • Microfibre cloths: versatile, washable and useful for streak-free finishing.
  • Brushes: reach grout, corners and textured surfaces with less effort.
  • Mops and floor tools: match the head and moisture level to your floor type.
  • Gloves and storage: protect hands and keep products safely organised.

Buddy’s cleaning tip

Work from high to low

Dust shelves and surfaces before cleaning the floor, so you only tackle fallen dust once. Give products the label’s recommended contact time instead of wiping them away immediately.
