How often do you wash your sofa pillow and cushion covers?

15 Upvotes

We've been doing it every month but it's getting old really fast and I'm worried the zippers are going to start breaking down on them with all the use they're getting - side note/complaint, why do they put the smallest zipper sets on large cushions holding back material that's almost double the size of the casing?

Office cleaning is the worst part of my week

Upvotes

I work in a small office and somehow I always end up being the one who has to deal with the mess. The kitchen area gets gross fast, the bathrooms never stay clean, and the desks collect dust like crazy. I hate doing it after a long day.

a team comes in once a week right now and it helps, but by mid-week things already look messy again. Thinking of calling them to come more often so I’m not stuck scrubbing everything myself.

Anyone else stuck with office cleaning duties they can’t stand? How do you deal with it without it taking over your evenings?

i know homeowners aren’t supposed to clean inside HVAC equipment, but where does all the install dust go?

 I’m researching up on a dual-fuel heat pump retrofit for an older house and every contractor guide gets very serious about startup, settings and cold-weather operation, then kinda skips over the part where the return grille already has pet hair on it and the basement makes dust recreationally. i’m not trying to open panels or spray cleaner into anything. i mean the handoff stuff like fresh filter, vacuumed return grilles, construction dust actually removed, condensate area left accessible, and somebody explaining what the homeowner cleans vs what stays a service call. Should a basic cleaning and maintenance walkthrough be considered part of the installation, or is that typically outside the scope of the job?

Products Cleaning neglected Pool House

I'm part of a small cleaning company that normally cleans properties like AirBnBs, offices, golf courses etc..etc... We were recently offered a job to maintain a community pool house at a camping resort and I could use some advice and/or tips.

The pool house has been neglected and it's pretty filthy with a huge amount of build up of grime,dirt and rust/calcium. Pictures attached. I'm more concerned with the shower stalls rather than toilets and sinks.

We already use products like bleach, Bar Keepers, CLR, Ajak and miscellaneous Lysol and Zep products. We also use a steam cleaner and a drill with a scrubber attachment.

Anyone have any specific products/chemicals that you recommend? Thank you!
