Day in the life of a cleaner: newbie mistakes I see all the time

Been in the cleaning game for 15 years now, and every time I train a new hire, they grab the Swiffer mop first thing. Swear to god, those pre-made pads are a joke for anything beyond light dusting, leaves streaks on hardwood like nobody's business. Last week, one kid tried it on a client's tile floor after a deep clean job, and we had to redo the whole room with a proper microfiber mop and Bona solution. Pro tip: always start with the vacuum, get those crumbs and hair first, or you're just pushing dirt around. Watched a Melissa Maker video on YouTube that breaks down why the basics matter so much, changed how I approach bathrooms. Someone in the Cleaning Business Owners group was ranting about the same thing with apprentices wasting time on gimmicky tools. If you're just starting out, invest in good microfiber cloths from the jump, they'll save your back and your reputation.

god damn swiffer users piss me off too, half my jobs are fixing the mess they leave behind from those cheap ass pads.
