doorway). Lay any throw rugs outside the door flat on the floor -
no corners tucked underneath. No rumpled mess. You're
expecting the person vacuuming (who may very well be you) to
do the rug later, so make it as easy as possible.
The Shower Walls
Set any items that are around the
edge of the tub out on the floor.
Whenever you move items like this,
move them the shortest distance
possible, and keep them in the same
relative position they were in. For
example, if there is a shampoo
container or a rubber ducky, move it
straight toward you and set it on the
floor in front of the tub. There are two reasons for doing it this
way: (a) It is faster; (b) When it comes time to replace the items,
you automatically know where they were. One important thing
to know about your cleaning clients is that they don’t like their
housecleaners to rearrange things. So put things back into the
tub/shower exactly where they were before you started the
cleaning. If there's a bar of soap, put it upside down on a folded
cleaning cloth on the floor. (You're keeping the soft side up so
soap isn't smeared all over.) Now that we've covered how to
move a bottle of shampoo, a bar of soap, and a rubber ducky,
let's move on.
