People tend to disappoint any cleaning, the more general ones later. Vitoga The most exquisite interior is "lost" under the thick layer of dust. We will tell this article than from a sanitary point of view, professional cleaning is different from the one we are doing at home from time to time.
In many families, cleaning heavy cargo falls on the fragile shoulders of the hostess. Sometimes duties are distributed among all family members. Some entrust this housekeeper. In general, options are possible ... But waiting for the arrival of his beloved mother-in-law or on the eve of the holiday in one day, the general cleaning of an apartment or a cottage is almost impossible. Of course, if only a brigade from a special firm will not take place. Now such services are becoming increasingly popular; Prestigiously provide them and use them. Given the great employment of many people at work, often it is perhaps the only opportunity to maintain purity in the house.
Excursion to history
Professional clearance (from English. Cleaning- "Cleaning", "cleaning") appeared in the USA in the 50s. Xxv; In the 60-70s. He has already flourished in Europe. B1961 The British Institute of Cleaning Sciences (BICS) was founded. It was then that the clining began to develop as an independent industry, and therefore there was a need for special equipment and chemicals.Now all over the world makes a huge amount of machinery and inventory to improve the efficiency of work in this area. Large chemical concerns in different countries produce thousands of customer items. This is understandable: because the purity in the premises is necessary not only from aesthetic point of view, but also with sanitary. Therefore, there will be no exaggeration to say that nowadays the professional care for the house turned into science. More and more people learn about such a service as a clearance, and turn to professionals.
The pro is taken by the pro
In our country, a professional clearance has been known since the beginning of the 90s. Modako, he received a regulatory framework only in 2002, when GOST RF 51870-2002 "Services for cleaning buildings and structures" came into force. Over the past ten years, the number of products involved in the professional cleaning of premises has increased dramatically and now exceeds 470 (as a whole in Russia). Aranhche was one-only company - the ubiquitous "dawn", which was in order to go to the dwellings of our fellow citizens. Employees "Dawn" removed all residential premises, could have one of the services ordered by the client: washing and insulation of windows by winter, cleaning the apartment in front of the banquet, garbage removal after repairing IDR.
Vnashy days Cleaning puts more serious tasks. Now at the head of the companies offering services for the cleaning of premises, there are professionally trained specialists (at Moscow University of Service, an educational center of the clining has opened). Firms pay great attention to the selection and training of personnel. The word "cleaner" now lost its place to other, modern names of this profession: "Cleener", "Master of Real Estate Care."
For example, in Moscow, cleaning services in the private sector are provided by small firms: "Atrika Service", "Diana-Office-Service", "Formula of Beauty", "Leda Evroklin", "M.Servis", "Country of Purity", "Florant - Hemy service "IDR. From large companies, professional cleaning in apartments and cottages are engaged, for example, "Enitel" and "ArtKlin Group of Companies".
"The Association of Russian Cleaver Companies" (Aruk) unites all the interested enterprises in the purity industry. This makes it possible to jointly solve complex problems and organize work so that in the best possible way to respond to customer requests. Quality of clearance issues are now considered at the highest level, for example, at a meeting of one of the committees of the Federation Council. So, in June 2006 The state of affairs in this industry was discussed: the chief sanitary doctor of Moscow N.N. Filatov expressed fear that some companies provide unsatisfactory quality services. Serious requirements for cleaning will not allow unscrupulous one-day firms on the market.
Equipment and consumables
Cleaning firms apply only professional equipment, which in power and other important characteristics significantly exceeds household appliances. Duplex, Portotecnica (Italy), Nilfisk Advance (Denmark), CHEMSPEC, USPRODUCTS, VON SCHRADER (USA), HAKO, KRCHER, STARMIX (USA), HAKO, KRCHER, STARMIX (Germany), Taski (Johnsondiverse), Cleanfix (All Switzerland), Numatic , Victor (United Kingdom), Delvir (EU). Brigade Cleeers leaves the call only with its equipment, so do not think to offer them your household vacuum cleaner, no matter how advanced it is. The company guarantees a high level of cleaning, so let it give it the right to decide which technique to use. For high-quality guidance, companies need professional devices, a special inventory and consumables.Rotary (disk) machines. We can wash the floors with a solid coating of this technique (remove dust, dirt), as well as clean carpet. Often after cleaning parquet, laminate or artificial stone polished to shine, for which special polishing sprays are used.
Extractor machines (dust-seems). They not only collect dust and other trash, but also can spray detergent (shampoo) under pressure on the carpet or upholstered furniture and immediately remove it along with mud. They are often used to dry the carpet or carpet, as well as upholstered furniture after cleaning the washing vacuum cleaner. The dusty-beamer is very powerful and have a large tank tank, which allows for long-term operations with their help.
Vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning. Professional vacuum cleaners are distinguished by a large suction force, maneuverability, low noise. Some models are equipped with water absorption function, as well as electrolates for combing a high pile of carpet. A large set of nozzles is attached to the "dry" vacuum cleaners, thanks to which you can clean up any surfaces.
Air fan heaters. After cleaning the carpet coating, it is subjected to forced drying, since the natural lasts 10-12h at a temperature of 20-25С. To do this, use powerful air fan heaters, for example S111 (CleanFix). The air flow, directed along the floor, evenly dries the carpet and prevents the appearance of strips and divorces. A professional manual hairdryer is dried by the place of removal of stains, feeding only cold air, as under the action of a hot product can be deformed, and its color is changed.
Polishing machines. They are easily moved along the floor surface (parquet, laminate, linoleum, artificial and natural stone), wash it and dried in one pass, leaving for them not only clean, but also a dry surface. Can sweep the garbage and dust in the corners.
Steam generators (steam cleaners). Professional steam cleaners allow without the use of chemistry to handle carpet, carpets, curtains, books, walls, floors, ceilings, sides of IDR. From cold water, poured into a special capacity, steam is formed through 3 minutes. The temperature of the jet of hot steam under pressure reaches 150-160s (at the output). Thanks to the steam cleaner, you can get rid of microbes, insects. In addition, the air indoors moisturizes, is freed from dust, allergens and smells.
Systems for dry and wet textile cleaning. The Ultimate PB-III and XLT-60 equipment (U.S.Products) allows you to clean, without removing, curtains, fabric blinds, cinema screens, lampshades, stretch ceilings. These devices do not harm fabrics, do not leave divorces.
Specializer. These are harvesting trolleys, comfortable swabs-swaps (Smart, Sweden) with telescopic handles and three nozzles made of dissected microse-microfiber-microfiber, holders with rubber freewers and ps for various surfaces (glass, mirrors). This inventory allows you to wash parquet, laminate, artificial stone, ceramic tiles and walls, not giving divorces.
Consumables. The books include a rag, sponges, napkins, sets for washing windows, replaceable nozzles IT.D. The products of such firms like Bufa, Kimberly-Clark (Germany), Sir, Premier Products (United Kingdom), Hagleitner (Austria), 3m Russia Idre. Microfiber napkins, which is subjected to a chemical and mechanical section or includes silver ions (Smart), allow you to quickly and efficiently, without divorce, washing glass and mirrors, and dust and various microparticles are attracted by the electrostatic effect.
Chemicals-assistants
It is difficult to imagine how professionals would be without special chemicals, also professional. Preparations of detergents polishing, stained, disinfectants, as well as shampoos, anti-static, mastic, primers, varnishes and protective compounds are used in the provision of cleaning services and should be used in accordance with the instructions of manufacturers. Provide cleanliness of the TANA series (Werner Mertz Professional, Austria); FLORE CHEMIE, HENKEL (OBE German); Detaprofi series (bufa) and many others. Professional cleaning companies use only those chemical and cleaning products that already have hygienic certificates. These substances are absolutely harmless to human health and with competent use do not harm the property of consumers of cleaning services. The prioruses of chemicals and consumables from manufacturers allow companies from all the diversity presented in the professional chemistry market, choose what is needed for high-quality cleaning. In the complex cleaning of the premises, the equipment for solid surfaces, poly rays for furniture and non-ferrous metals, wiper wiper companies Werner Mertz Professional (TANA series), S.C.JOHNSON PROFESSIONAL, PREMIER PRODUCTS (United Kingdom), Hagleitner, Flore Shemie. For cleaning floors use alkaline stripper solutions. They produce Werner Mertz Professional (TANA series), Granwax (United Kingdom), Pramol (Switzerland), Premier Products Idr. Polymer lacquer is used to care for floors, as well as a polymer-based detergent, which produces S.C.Johnson Professional, Premier Products, Granwax, Pramol. When restoring the gloss of floors from natural or artificial stone and chemical cleaning of carpets, special compounds and stained values of Chemspec firms, Premier Products, Hagleitner use. The kitchen requires particularly thorough cleaning. Most often from splashes flying from frying pan, the kitchen "apron" suffers. It is washed with drugs removing fat, such as Smellex (Flore Chemie), Universal Reiniger (TANA, WERNER MERTZ PROFESSIONAL). The last disinfectant for bathrooms and kitchens has a pleasant citrus aroma (10-50 g of the drug is divorced in 1 liters). When processing bathrooms and toilets, Sanox (Flore Chemie) is used, effective for dissolving and removing lime deposits and rust plates. For cleaning and disinfecting the bathrooms often use professional cleaners that contain hydrochloric acid (looclens) or phosphoric (LOOPHOS; all-Granwax). They purify, deodorize, eliminate the flare. For disinfection of premises, Apesin preparations are available (TANA, WERNER MERTZ PROFESSIONAL). They cope with the colonies of bacteria and fungi, viruses and tuberculosis wandWhen cleaning intercutric seams, as well as the elimination of water stone and biological deposits (in the kitchen and bathrooms), the Florin S Plus concentrate is used - a means containing an acid with disinfectant components (10-100 g of composition is dissolved in 1 l water). It removes lime, fat, protein, and also eliminates rust, limestone kart, urinary deposits. Flore CONZ (Flore Chemie) - a concentrate with the smell of barberries - suitable for washing glass and mirrors, has the ability to degrease the tree (50-200 g of means dissolved in 1 l water).

FLORE ACRYL WISCHPFLEGE (Flore Chemie) is a means for cleaning wooden floors: after processing this shampoo, a thin protective film is formed, and they become resistant to any contaminants.
So, started!
If you decide to order a professional cleaning, choose a conscientious cleaning company, which has proven itself in the market. Touching the firms, feel free to set the "clip" issues that will help you determine who you are dealing with.
Where did the company specialists?
Does the company have a license for cleaning activities? (The term of its action is five years; some firms have indefinite. We will explain: this type of activity does not need compulsory licensing, but large firms still try to receive a similar document.)
Does the company have voluntary certificates for cleaning services and chemicals? (Again, you will specify: mandatory certification for cleaning is not required. However, large multiservice firms with a large staff positioning themselves as serious players in the market of cleaning services receive up to four different certificates. The term of their action is one or three years.)
Does the enterprise give a guarantee for cleaning quality? On what period? This means that if there are shortcomings in work, then the company undertakes to eliminate them. (The small company "Dug-field" is unlikely to ensure the proper level of cleaning, and it is not expected to expect guarantees - after a while it can simply disappear without a trace.) It is also important to be confident in the safety of things. I need to add: for all spoiled property, the company is legal responsibility.
A stronghold that will be provided by the company manager, must be referenced to the GOST RF "Services for the cleaning of buildings and structures" and on the available certificates for chemicals and cleaning, as well as the license number. If there are such links in the contract, then you are dealing with a serious firm.
Opinion of a specialist
It will not be an exaggeration to say that the cleaning in Russia has a great future. Many Russian companies have already earned a good reputation in the West. Of course, it became later to develop here than in the US or Europe. This is understandable: our country fought with the consequences of the Second World War, and foreign housewives have already hired professional hinges for housing. But the time should correct the emphasis. Now and we have more and more people who want to make money, while in their apartment or cottage do the purity of professionals. Or rest so that they have the forces to earn. Our company, for example, is what to offer to customers. We compile a contract for cleaning on a questionnaire sheet (this saves the time and money of customers, and we are also). In addition, we carry out labor-intensive work - a crystal 6-meter chandelier was washed in one cottage (pre-insulacing it). Insurance option supports our customers - after all, it is often necessary to restore order in their absence. Asscript We introduce such a service as home cleaning for the arrival of the owners, let's say, from a distant trip. Unas will be the depository of keys from client apartments to make the necessary work on their requirement. After all, much more pleasant after a long business trip to come to a clean house. To provide a full range of services, we took the work of the florist (to care for plants) and aquarium (for registration and cleaning of aquariums).
By phone you agree on the day of cleaning. First, a manager who, in place, thoroughly inspected the dwelling, will come to you, will appreciate the situation, it will measure the area of the apartment or the cottage, will determine the degree of pollution, hears and will record all your wishes. From this will depend on the cost of cleaning. After inspecting the room, the client provides an agreement for conducting general cleaning (or individual services) with mandatory calculation. Some large companies, such as Enitel, worked out the method of receiving an order by a questionnaire (this saves the client time).
A brigade of Cleanier-professional cleaners will come to you. It usually consists of four people (sometimes their quantity can vary from three to five, depending on the area and degree of pollution). Most often in the brigade there are two women and two men (on the latter, in addition to cleaning, there is a duty to deliver and transfer heavy equipment). Sometimes a qualified manager travels with a brigade: it leads works, ensures the safety of valuable things in the apartment, chooses the most rational and competent methods for cleaning certain interior items.
How much is cleanliness
If you decide to resort to the services of professionals, you will probably be interested to know how serious the blow will cause this event on the family budget. In addition, it must be remembered that the cost of services in different companies can vary greatly.
By ordering general cleaning, keep in mind that you are unlikely to make it immediately, for example tomorrow. The order is most often taken three days before the expected date of guidance. True, in some firms, you can place an order by a questionnaire, which, of course, speeds up the whole process. The cost of cleaning 1M2 housing in various companies is 30-150 rubles. (The average price in the market of cleaning services - 50-60 rubles).
You are entitled to order cleaning both the entire apartment and its individual premises. However, the cost of services cannot be less than the minimum order price, that is, 3-3.5 thousand rubles. For this amount you will be removed, say, strongly polluted kitchen. By the way, large firms are trying to reduce the cost of minimal order (it can be, for example, 2.9 thousand rubles).
If someone from your family members suffers from allergies, it is necessary to pre-pre-execute the manager about it. Although all professional cleaning and disinfectants have certificates that allow them to use, a joint decision can be made not to apply any chemicals (if it is just known that they are allergic to your household) or completely abandon chemistry. Do not be surprised: modern equipment allows you to do it. Then you have to process the apartment with the steam generator (steam cleaner). Couples, which is supplied under high pressure, can cope with pollution, spots and other problems (for example, fungus). True, there will be a similar cleaning by 80% more expensive - 90 rubles. For 1m2 of all surfaces. Therefore, think if such material sacrifices are needed.
So, back to the rates. Some firms include processing each square meter. Others believe that such services like windows washing (in the winter window can be washed only from the side of the room), the oven, lamps (especially consisting of a large number of parts, suspension), cleaning furniture and carpet surfaces, must be charged for them. Separate fee. So, to "duty" 50-60 rubles. For 1m2, at least the cost of washing all windows in your apartment will be added. Wash one window costs about 17 rubles. For 1m2. If you need, professional climbers will be attracted to this process, and also according to special rates, 25 rubles. For 1m2).
The abilities include the restoration of erase floors from natural and artificial stone (1m2-150-500rub.), As well as disinfection of all the apartments (while disinfection of the bathroom is considered mandatory). In addition, when a manager comes to you to compile a calculation, you can order cleaning of all textile products (curtains, covered, covers). They will be removed, let go in dry cleaning, which are in many cleaning firms, and bring you. Some firms offer textile processing with special technique for dry and wet extractor cleaning. Then the curtains do not even have to shoot. Among other things, there is also such a service as cleaning blinds on the windows. It is 1 rub. For 1m2. Vertical blinds from plastic or metal are brushed by a special grip clip, which allows you to wipe each lamella on both sides. Tissue vertical blinds are best handled with a steam generator or at least a vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning. If the blinds were not cleaned enough of the dust and dirt and the clinics are not sure that they can return them to the original appearance, they will offer you to pass them into dry cleaning. Then they are guaranteed to return back in perfect condition.
There are many of their services, the advantage of which the customer can evaluate, only at least once used by them. This, for example, the protection of solid floors by emulsion polyrolla, the wave of parquet, applying a polymer coating on ceramic tiles and seams between it. Such procedures will allow for a longer time to protect the surface from dirt, and as a result, you will not need to order a new cleaning longer.
Opinion of a specialist
- Tell me, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna, cleaning services are now more popular than five years ago?
- Yes, the number of customers in our days is growing. Many people are concerned about the problem of maintaining cleanliness in their home. Puntry are those who spend a lot of time at work. Our fellow citizens cease to be afraid to go to the house of other people's people. After all, the firm is responsible for the quality of cleaning. To allow that some kind of corners of the apartment will remain untreated, the impossible is cleaning with the cleaning of each square meter of housing. Many, however, restrains the financial side of the issue ...
- What to do the client who is worried about the safety of values located in the apartment?
- calm down. The brigadier controls the work of the clinies and, if necessary, exposes them to inspection. The only condition: claims concerning the loss of things should be submitted immediately. If the hostess, the mixer recalls that some value has disappeared, it will be impossible to prove anything. To calm the owners, it is better to remove expensive things in a safe or a lockable cabinet. But we are responsible for our people. These are proven employees who are not the first year to serve in the company. At the same way, the profession of Cleanner became a prestigious, well paid, and our employees will not risk their own reputation and good name of the firm.
- How do your employees come if they face any problem while cleaning? This applies to, for example, a hardwater spots on the road or a colony of a fungus, striking the wall of the bathroom ...
- Well, who said that Cleener is not a creative profession? Sometimes you have to solve complex problems right on the go. Even experiment, I will not be afraid of this word ... After all, it is easier to discard the spot of unknown origin. Anam really wants to make our customer's house clean.
- Since we started talking about stains: now many firms advertise their means to bring different pollution. Maybe not need professionals with their chemicals and complex equipment?
- How to say ... it is possible to withdraw several stains with some "miracle preparation". Aexhares for a while to discover that the carpet or upholstered furniture need professional cleaning. My advice: remember or write down what you used in order to get rid of pollution on an ambulance hand. Otherwise, when you invite specialists to clean the carpet for all the rules, it turns out that there was incompatibility with the household chemicals that you used before. The consequences may be very serious, right up to the loss of things ...
- What can you offer the client who wants not only to remove the apartment, but at the same time get rid of domestic insects, such as cockroaches?
- Well, this is already a completely different story ... For the destruction of household insects in the premises where people live, a special license is needed. We are not engaged in such activities. True, it should be recognized that the cockroaches themselves go out of the apartment from some disinfectants. Probably purity scares them ...
So, we fully admit that someone prefers to family rest in nature, the general cleaning, accompanied by harsh and sighs of all Chad and households ... as an as well, time has already come and it's time to call the clinics? .. Establish you.
