I have been cleaning for your neighbour today
This is a great marketing idea that is dead cheap and an effective way to get even more great customers.

How to Keep a Sponge Clean
Often the dirtiest place in the kitchen isn’t the worktops or the chopping boards, but the sponges used to “clean” the surfaces. Sponges often are left wet, next to the sink covered in all kinds of germs and dirt.

Dry E-Cloth Mop Review
If you have hard floors and are a pet owner or have kids running around, chances are one of your biggest problems is dealing with the constant dirt all over your floors. Although I recommend getting a weekly cleaning service to help maintain the floors, you may not be fortunate enough to have a house cleaning service yet to take care of it for you, and as this task can be very time consuming it can quickly get on top of you.
