Hi

Go along to suppliers and get pro toilet descaler, limescale remover, scourers, anti bacterial agent, maybe some pineapple chunks to add that professional touch!

you will need the anti-bacterial for the kitchen and some TO4 oven cleaner (excellent kit) and maybe some stainless steel cleaner if it a pub kitchen, don't forget your mop and brushes (oh and a toothbrush for those nooks and crannies)

best of luck

Hi,
When i first started out my cleaning biz i to had no idea how to deep clean toilets(here comes the sad part)there was no internet in them days and trying to get advice from other cleaning companies was as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike anyway i to had got a pub to clean,then i had a great idea the next large town to where i lived had some disgusting public toilets that needed a good clean so i contacted the council who were helpful but said they already have an contractor to clean units and even though they provided a below standard cleaning service as there was a contract until the end of its term the council could not act(how times have changed) However one sunday morning i decided to venture into town armed with all my cleaning materials and proceeded to clean the toilets the job took me a whole day and left them spottless great job done and felt more confident!! Two months later i was reading the local freebie paper what a suprise the toilets that i cleaned had received the cleanest toilets in town certificate with a picture of a very happy cleaning attendant receiving her prize a bunch of flowers and a £10 gift voucher !!!!!!!!!!! This is true and to this day i enjoy telling others . I dont know if it would be advisable to do it these days with all the legisations but why not contact a local biz and offer to clean their washrooms for free!!!!!!!!!!

Atlantic - Do you have to do the fryers too?

Hi Fox

Yes I do have to clean 3 fryers, I have had a little exerience with cleaning fryers as I used to own a Pub with a very small catering Kitchen, but I only done this on a diy basis Grin

Please believe me when I say I would welcome any advice offerd as I want to do the best job possible for the customer.

Acording to the book How Clean is Your House the best way to clean toilets is to put two false teath cleaning tablets in the loo and leave over night.

Another way they recommend is poor a can of coke into to the loo.

They also say that Fairy Liquid is the best cleaner for just about everything.

Hi Catrodney
Yes found nice seldon bathroom cleaner just about does the job - still not brill but hey - at least I can now relax with my candles and glass of champange! (I wish) Grin

Duncan
I have slated washing up liquid in the past - but only on floor use and not used properly may I add! Best thing for fryers - but be careful on amounts and make SURE rinse is thorough. Suggest plently of disposable towels - c fold pref but centerfeed more versitile for wipe out. However bet you already know this as only one way to clean fryers! - messy way!
(bet you get loads of advice now!)
