This was very helpful to me, a homeowner. I want to streamline many things at the house, one of them being the cleaning supplies. My home has 3 levels, and I no longer want to have a floor cleaner, a counter cleaner, and a window cleaner under every sink in the house, plus a multitude of rags, brushes, towels, sponges, gloves, and the rest spread throughout 3 floors. I'm determined to have 1 well-stocked caddy with everything I need for regular maintenance, and move with IT as I clean. All the heavy duty things (degreasers, drill attachments, mineral oil, marble cleaner) I use maybe twice or thrice a year, I'll move to the basement. Also, I'll remove anything that's strictly for "real" mopping from under the kitchen sink and store it in the laundry area because that's something I do once a week, the rest of the time a run with a stick vac and damp microfiber mop are enough. I don't know why it's taken me 25+ years of my own housekeeping to figure out I really don't need repeats of every single product near every nook and cranny that needs cleaned. Thank you. I'm looking at the Husky bag with the tall pockets, I think that'd be plenty spacious for my supplies.
I definitely need a cleaning caddy. Having a caddy may help my ADHD because it will keep me from going room to room looking for my cleaning products.
A cleaning caddy will definitely make it easier to locate your cleaning supplies.
Same!
Aaahhh me all day im working on it
Same! Or buying 30 of the same product because I’ve managed to hide them all over my house.
I use the HUSKY 14"..my crew loves them. I put a plastic tumbler cup in 3 of the outside pockets, 1 for our toilet bowl brush, 1 for little things like small grout brushs, pens, scrapers etc and one for wet sponges. Works fantastic!
Thanks so much for sharing your tip with our community : )
Husky hands down the best one! All the pockets can hold the large size spray bottles/spray cans and even store size spray bottles which other caddies cant fit.
Thanks so much for watching my video. 🤗
Started my cleaning business on and off for the last six years, decided to put my time and effort into it the last three months and just cleaned my first house. Thank you for these videos I’ve been trying to find more efficient ways to carry supplies.
Congratulations! And welcome to the wonderful world of house cleaning. I'm so thrilled for you. :-)
I gust got 2 husky bags and a husky 18 inch totem bag that has a telescopic handle for my wife's cleaning service. She put the 2 bags on top of the tote and she is good to go. Looks super professional. Before she had a small cart with different small boxes. Even then everything was organized but now she looks like a pro. You have made a big difference in he life Angela. You are a true angel.
She loves her new setup tha thanks so much for all of your videos.
I was so inspired to have a cleaning caddy I went out today to Home Depot and got the red Husky one! I love it!! I filled it with all my essential cleaners and now it will be so easy to carry this from room to room! Thank you Angela for sharing! New subscriber and learning so much from you!! :))
That is awesome, love it! Welcome and thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it!🤗😊
What about bleach will it ruin it if leaking?
Who knew there were so many things to consider about choosing the right caddy? I'm amazed that at my seasoned age (we don't get older we just get more seasoned ;) that I hadn't figured out how much more efficient it would be to use a caddy. I'm buying three, one for under the sink, one for me to carry from room to room and one for my husband for his tools that he can NEVER find. Thanks!
Which one did you get? How do you like it?
I just bought the hyper tough caddy based on your review. Even though it’s half the size of the laundry tote I was using, most of my supplies still fit. Taking for the first time today to my cleaning job.
Woot Woot! I am so excited for you. Carrying a bag that is half the size of your other one will most likely be easier on your shoulders and back as well. Let me know how it works for you. One of my favorite things about that bag is that the sidewalls are high enough your supplies never topple out or spill.
@@AskAngelaBrown it looks way more professional also. I do want to later invest in the one like yours. I love that entire design.
Thank you, Angela! As promised, you came through and posted 👏👏👏
Im definatley upgrading my old school plastic caddy ;)
Your videos are so educational, thanks for the tips!!
Glad you like them! I appreciate you watching. :-)
Reminds me of the Horse grooming kits. Some prefer bags, some bags aee vented bottom, so dirt does not accumulate. some prefer hard plastic caddy. Tractor supply store, country max, smart pak, chick's saddlery all have similar options. Extremely durable.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
The Casabella plastic tote that you suggest for homeowners looks a lot like the plastic shower tote I bought for my daughter when she was heading off to college. The advantage of the Casabella version is that it's designed to nest in the top of a matching 4-gallon bucket (useful if one has to mop, I imagine). The one I got for my daughter for college came from the dollar store or Walmart, though, I think.
Awesome information! I’m now able to narrow down my choices for a caddy.
Let me know which one you end up picking! Thanks for dropping me a line. 👍
I recently purchased the Craftsman tool bag, large size which came with a bonus bag (smaller) which is great for tools such as scrapers, brushes, etc.
Extremely durable paid $9.99 @sears. I stocked up. I will post photo.
Pics plz
I needed exactly this video. Thank you!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
Super informative video as always. I am a homeowner but I don't use a cleaning caddy, I have been thinking about getting one so this is very useful for me to make a well informed choice. Thank you!
I appreciate you reaching out to tell me you liked the video. ❤️
The Husky looks great.
Your video content is so valuable . Thanks so much
Glad you think so! Thank you so much for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
Hi Angela, because of this video, and my own research, I purchased 2 (one for work and one for home) of the 12” AWP HP tool bags, and let me tell you...this thing is nicely made! Very impressed and I’m SO excited to use them! I am a huge fan of Dr. Bronner’s, and that’s all I use to clean with, so this size is just perfect for me. I love your channel and THANK YOU for doing what you do! :)
Wonderful, glad the video was helpful! Thanks you so much for your kind words and support!
Where can a person buy the AWP HP tool bag? Thank you
I live in Las Cruces NM
@@kc120 i ordered mine on amazon. I bought 2.
@Mike Akers The AWP H aren’t available at this time on Amazon, so I ordered the Husky instead. Thank you for replying.
Great ideas! Thank you for sharing about this subject!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I love watching all your videos. Watch these instead of cleaning, lol!
Hahaha...love this! But get your cleaning done. Thanks for watching!😊
Got my Husky Bag! Thank you Angela!!
Woo Hoo! I hope you love it too : )
I use 2 plastic buckets within each other to carry products and a nylon bag to carry clean cloths. I stack the buckets together and hang the nylon bag from my vacuum. I separate the buckets while cleaning. When I have used a cloth, it goes into the bucket. Then when I leave, I stack the dirty cloth bucket back under my product bucket. When I return from cleaning, the cloths, nylon bags and my PVC gloves are put into the washer. My buckets are cleaned in the laundry tub each job.
I wonder. How does one clean the mentioned cloth caddys?
I would look at the actual caddy to see if there is a tag with cleaning instructions. Thanks so much for watching my video. 🤗
Yeah! I KNEW you’d have a video on this! I’m constantly wearing myself out just searching for my cleaning supplies. I badly need a caddy that works for me because the one I have right now is so clunky and hard to carry so I never use it.
Check out the caddies and see which one suits you best. I hope you find one that you like. Thanks for watching!
Muchas gracias Angela por tus sugerencias se te agradece 😁
Otra vez gracias!😊
The Milwaukee bag is awesome. I Use the entire Milwaukee pack out line for my cleaning business makes carrying supplies to and fro so easy
Right on! Thanks for sharing. I'm a big fan too. :-)
Wow so many cool bags.
Thank you and thanks for watching.🙂
I use tool bags! They’re awesome!
I appreciate you taking the time to drop me a line. Feel free to share this video : )
Gardening bags work really well for caddy's.
Thanks for sharing this tip with our community. 🤗
You might want to look at Lowes Kobalt 12 pocket bag. It's 14 inches deep and has deep pockets designed for spray bottles. The cost is about $30.00.
Thanks so much for watching the video and leaving another option for a cleaning caddy. I appreciate you! 👍
Excellent trust your information completely
Thanks for your kind words and for watching. 👍
I love this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a eyeopener for sure on some of the options.
I currently been working as weekend housekeeper at a hotel for a month now and we use the jantext or rubbermaid cabby (very similar in design) Durable plastic made to carry cleaning materials like spray bottles. Their not a bad design, but they have no dividers, so going through which items such as coffee, sugars, milk, then you have the cleaning products like soap and so on.
I certinely would look at making a overseas purchase for maybe the Husky model as the pockets are well placed to see how much you have and could work as both standard room stock and cleaning stock.
Regardless thank you for the video and showcasing companies other then rubbermaid or jantex.
Thanks for watching and check where you live. Rubbermaid is worldwide - I've seen their caddies and carts in countries all over the globe.
just ordered awp hp. had to import it to australia but so much better quality than anything here
Thank you
You're welcome and thanks for watching. 😊
Even though I have the cleaning caddy like #1, I have recycled small butter/sour cream/yogurt containers to sit each spray bottle in. Which helps with any leakage like you mentioned.
Have had for about 10 years give or take.
Love your suggestions 👍
That's a great tip, thanks for sharing!
Currently my caddy is a plastic one that I found in a dumpster, fully stocked, along with a bunch of other goodies.
Deja W Sounds like something I would do lol. Thrifty is the way to go!
Well someone else’s trash is another’s treasure. Fully stocked- amazing
The husky bag is actually a janitorial bag, that was my 1st starter bag! I still use it for some things but now use the husky tool bag on wheels, been cleaning for 25 yrs and wanted something a bit easier so went with wheels! It works out great but is a little pricier! U can also stack other husky bags (or other brands) on top and loop the handle around the handle on the bag with wheels, kind of like you'd do with a suitcase and carry bag!
Thank you for sharing this tip!👍
have you made a video on best spray bottles? micro fibre cloth? your favorites ?

Hi Angela Thank you for this. Was just wondering what size awp caddy you have. The link shows the smaller one. I want it to be big enough, but not so big I won't use it.
Hi! I have the 12 inch one, hope that helps.
Thank you so much:) c
Hi Regina, thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to have you here. :-)
Wow awesome so helpful 😊
I had been using a small luggage pull that is more like a duffle bag on wheels.
It opens from the top with pockets on the sides.
Thanks for your advice! 😃
Hi Angela, I use a cart on wheels with a pull up handle. I usually clean houses that are 3,000-5,000 square feet so I need something that I don’t have to carry. Also, I use around 15-25 different cleaning products. (I may be OCD, lol) I really like the husky one and I’m pretty sure it comes with wheels and a handle. I’m going to go look at Home Depot and probably buy that one. Thanks so much! 🤗
What products do you use? That's about 3x as many as I use.
Keep me posted on what caddy you get : )
❤
I use a Rubbermaid executive cleaning cart medium size. I’m looking to downsize to just a caddy! The cart holds my dyson and all my supplies and comes with a smaller caddy but it’s just too heavy!
Nice bags, not sure how much they are. I just use a large diaper bag that I got at target for $40. I have pockets inside and out plus I prefer shoulder straps since I have to carry a mop,broom,bucket and a vacuum as well. 😊
@@AskAngelaBrown thank you 😊
Now just using plastic caddy, but the openings not wide enough. Im thinking og getting the Husky or the AWP as i like the idea of the product's not spilling, also i like deep pockets, and a handle and lighter weight.
Hi. Yes, and I really like both of those caddies. You can find them in my store here: The AWP- amzn.to/3NQ1qw3 (paid link) and here: The Husky- amzn.to/3pp8NBh (paid link). Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I wanted to ask? Could you please do a update on a go caddy . Please and thank you
Thanks for the request! I will add this to my video list.
What would you reccomend using for a rolling cart, one I can fit my husky bag and my other supplies into? I work in a lot of condos and apartments and so I'm lugging two bags plus my mop and vacuum.
That is a lot of gear man. I'm not the best person to answer that because I don't use rolling caddies for residential cleaning. Commercial yes, but residential no - because we are in and out of subways, up and down flights of stairs, down narrow walkways, and up and down people's porches. We do carry a cleaning caddy, a mop bucket (with cloths and supplies,) and a mop with washable heads. We use the client's vacuum. So for us, it's one trip from the car or subway to the customer's home. Are you in our Facebook group? That is an excellent question for those who do use rolling carts. facebook.com/groups/ProfessionalHouseCleaners/
i use rolling carts for work, i run conferences....need to be able to cart and unload. look for collapsible roll carts, they're not too expensive, they usually usually have a lid, so you can place another tub of stuff if needed
Got any ideas for one with wheels that’ll go upstairs? Love your videos! Thank you 😊
In our Professional Cleaners Facebook Group I've seen lots of house cleaners who buy carts with wheels, but they don't make sense to me. Carts with wheels that are substantial enough to carry cleaning supplies are too heavy to take on jobs. While they may go up a flight of stairs, they usually are tall and have stacking pieces so you can fit everything inside. And that means that every time you need something you have to open, unpack and move stuff around which is a huge waste of time. Carry a small caddy - that you can lift and carry in one hand, and carry it up the stairs. We also have cleaners who ride the metro - and in that event I recommend if you will be walking for blocks with your caddy of cloths and a caddy of supplies that you get a portable luggage rack (here is a paid link amzn.to/3zxWaXl so you can see what I'm thinking of) and stack your stuff on them in transit and then when you get to the customer's house dismantle it so you can carry your caddy from room to room rather than trying to wheel it up a flight of stairs. (Heaven forbid you bang into a wall with a wheelie cart going up stairs in the client's home and have to pay for a handyman to come patch and paint the wall.)
@@AskAngelaBrown , WOW ! Thank you for the detailed reply! You’re awesome! I will definitely look into the luggage cart that you linked. What you were saying makes total sense. I have ADHD. So having to unstack things can be a little annoying for me. But I also do construction. So I’m going to do an experiment and use my rolling modular toolbox. I will try it for this next house I’m going to clean and see how it works out for me. I was hesitant to buy anything like that even for my tools for 20 years because of the unstacking issue. But this modular toolbox that I have now has actually helped save me so much time looking for things. Because I will be doing construction cleanup, I have to carry a lot of rags. They get very dirty very quickly and I have to keep changing to a fresh rag. I will use squeegees in the showers this time. One that you recommended in another video . I also have a window vacuum that I can use in tile showers. That is a real timesaver. I have a little motorized scrubbing gadget as well. That is why I wanted something to carry everything up the stairs a little more easily. In the past, I have just carried one caddy for of my cleaning sprays , window scrapers , toilet brush … etc . But then I would have to run back-and-forth to my car carrying up the vacuum, brooms , dust pans , window vac …etc . Do you have any tips to do construction cleanup without having to have so many gadgets? And the tall windows . Ugh ! They get me every time . My Karcher window vacs work pretty darn good . But at 5 feet tall , getting those high windows , even on a ladder is a nightmare. That’s what I dread most . I start cleaning a 6 bedroom post construction Monday. I’m excited and nervous at the same time . I only have 2 days to clean it by myself. Considering the Unnger Indoor Window Cleaning Kit. It’s a small mop with a silky microfiber pad . The windows aren’t terrible and I only have to do the inside parts on the high ones . You make a point denting walls 🤣. Thankfully, these are wooden walls and I do construction. So I can fix my mistakes if need be . Thank you again for your very detailed reply. I don’t usually even expect replies on TH-cam. I know you folks are very busy. I appreciate your time.
Carhartt makes quality products, my winter coat has kept me warm and dry for 10 years now, I live in Massachusetts our winter's not very forgiving
They sure do! Thanks so much for watching my video : )
I don't have one , but I'm thinking of getting the AWP HP PRO!
You will be happy when you finally get one.
Hello, I was just wondering where the toliet brush should go? Or is it better to use your hand with a rag? ( with gloves on) Thank you
The toilet brush usually goes next to the toilet in a stand on the floor. Each toilet gets its own toilet brush and we ask the customer to provide them so we are not carrying a dripping wet toilet brush from room to room or house to house.
I use tool bags as well, I will have to check out some of the ones you showed. On a different topic can you tell us what you actually carry in your tool bag? Also, what you would charge for up sales, like the leather cleaning/conditioner, hard water cleaning on glass showers etc....Thank you!
Yes, I'd like to know this as well!
That would make a great show topic. I’ll add that to my list : )
I’m moving to Chicago and street parking seems to be an issue that I’ve never had to deal I’m wondering what rolling bag I can fit my vacuum steam cleaner and steam mop in.
If you are riding the metro you may want to consider a mop like a Swiffer Sweeper that breaks apart easily and can fit in a caddy. Also even on a metro I'm not a fan of rolling caddies as they don't go up and down stairs easily inside homes. I carry a small 12 inch caddy shown in the video and linked to the video below and carry a hand held mop bucket with my cloths and steamer inside. Both hands are full, but they balance nicely - neither are too heavy and I can stay very mobile when jumping on and off the metro, going up or down a flight of metro or apartment stairs etc.
Im based in the uk and just starting out my cleaning business , your videos are helping me so much! …I’m really interested in purchasing the veto tote, which size would you recommend, the small or large ? Really appreciate your help .
Thank you for your feedback! As for the tote, it depends on the amount of items you typically carry. If you prefer a more compact option, the small might be ideal. However, if you tend to carry a bit more, the large provides additional space without being overly bulky. Consider your daily essentials, and that should guide your choice
@@AskAngelaBrownThankyou so much
If I had a cleaner show up with a veto bag, I know they are a true pro.
Thanks for your input and for watching the video.
Good morning Angela.
Thanks for your tips again.
I’m Italian and I tried to understand every your advice ( even if there aren’t Italian subtitles 😅). Sorry if my English isn’t right enough.
You showed the difference between those cleanings caddies but I don’t know what is your favourite.
I’m working on private yacht so I can spend a little bit more than the plastic staff but I would like to know what is the best.
It could be useful for me If I can bring it on the shoulder because I have steps on board.
I prefer if inside there are different space for different bottles of products.
Of course it will be great if I can wash it.
I read that a lot of people write about husky do you think that could be the right choice for me ? Do you also know the brands “fifth starts” and “terra home”? What do you think about it ? Thanks thanks thanks I would like to have you on board ❤️
Hi Sabatina, your job on the yacht sounds exciting. Here is a link to a caddy with a shoulder strap: www.amazon.com/HVAC-Premium-Center-Storage-Cover/dp/B09GTVM4NM?crid=SFRB7V9LEG2F&keywords=Tool+caddy&qid=1653595813&sprefix=tool+caddy,aps,99&sr=8-30-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExR1E0U0xVUUhPMDFQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDQxNTY1MjNHV01LWUpIOEpIMSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzQ0MDE1NEFZTkxSVFFOSlVIJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D&linkCode=sl1&tag=askahouseclea-20&linkId=07097be01b0a567eef22dba0e105da02&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
I'm hoping to hear what you put in the caddy to have a well rounded arsenal of tools and cleaners.
What you put in the cleaning caddy may vary from job to job and day to day depending on if you're doing a maintenance clean or a deep clean. For a maintenance clean it's usually eco-friendly neutral cleaners. And for a deep clean with lots of grit and grime you'll have more of your acidic and alkaline cleaners.
@@AskAngelaBrown thanks!
I really need a cleaning caddy because right now I'm using a milk crate that is older than me (32). Don't get me wrong it can carry a lot of my supplies but I need two hands just for that and make more trips than I would like.
Check out this video th-cam.com/video/ayvJReGiLjM/w-d-xo.html There is a quick illustration of what to carry on a job. It's got the cleaning caddy, mop bucket, mop all in two hands. No 2nd trip.
If you strung 5 clips to a loop for your rags then they would dry out while on the bag and take up less space.
Great tip...thanks for sharing!
I would like a list of all the things you like to carry in your tote
You can see them all in my online store - paid link www.amazon.com/shop/angelabrown/list/1F4BY0USCV0PD?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
Hi Angela, I've tried to get access to the professional cleaners Facebook group but after requesting access over 2 weeks ago, I'm still waiting.
I'd really like to get on their to ask about local products in my area as I am in Australia.
Please note that there are questions that need to be answered for approval. What name did you join with? I will take a look and see if your request is pending?
As a beginner, what or where should I focus my attention when cleaning a residential house?
Do you mean which locations to look for customers or which rooms when cleaning a house?
Here is a link to my worksheet: askahousecleaner.com/worksheets-house-cleaning-business/
This is a helpful tool to determine what to clean in a house.
I have the hyper tough 16 and it’s indeed heavy. I’m trying to find another that’s user friendly lol
Let me know which caddy you decide on!
Love all the caddy but I use one with wheels. How about a video on caddys with wheels!☺
Caddies with wheels are awesome for people who ride the Underground or the Metro to work. Personally, I prefer a carry cleaning caddy that is small enough to carry, and big enough it has your few supplies in it. The wheels on many of the units I've seen encourage indoor/outdoor use, and I'm not a fan of dragging anything from outside into a client's home and then dragging it all over their carpets and floors. Also, those with substantial wheels can pick up little rocks in the tires and then scratch hardwoods if not careful. You may have found a workable solution I don't know about. What are you using?
@@AskAngelaBrown but what if you need one? What would you get? Like if your cleaning a seattle condo in WA and park on the street
Angela, I start every job with an organized bag and half way through the Job it’s a tossed messed🤦♀️🤦♀️my dry rags tend to get wet since there’s no side pockets for separating them I have wet paper towels that get tossed in there to bc my partner always moves my garbage bag as we move ahead through the house.any suggestions
Hi Eileen, it sounds like you just need to tighten your cleaning system. In every home the person doing the wet chores will have two caddies, one for supplies, and one for cloths. They should never be mixed and used paper towels should not be cross-contaminated with cloths, clean or used. If necessary clip a grocery bag (the kind with handles) on your belt loop with a Caribeener clip amzn.to/3zFpJnu to use as a garbage bag so you always have one with you.
@@AskAngelaBrown thank you I used to hang it from the handle of a duster but I like this idea better . Thank you so much. Love your videos learned a lot form you.
7:30 ❤️
Thanks for the love and for watching the video, I appreciate it!
Where do you carry mop buckets, broom, and mop and vacuum?
I also carry a mop bucket with wheels. It holds my cloths, steamer, mop heads and can be carried in the house at the same time as a cleaning caddy. We use the customer's vacuum (so we don't carry a broom or vacuum and the mop we use is a steamer mop that fits in the cleaning caddy.)
@@AskAngelaBrown would love if u can make a video on that.
Do you carry all your supplies and cloths together?? I have a separate bag for my cloths, and it’s becoming a pain.
Which caddy do you use? There are some where you can carry your cloths as well.
@@AskAngelaBrown I bought a medium sized caddy from Amazon. It doesn’t have room for my cleaning cloths. (Didn’t factor that in when purchasing it) 🥴🤪
What are your best diy products? Do you use them?
My "can't live without products are" a Swiffer Duster amzn.to/2GOlv6x (Not Sponsored) and the OXO deep cleaning brushes amzn.to/33YostT (Not Sponsored.)
I have looked high and low for the AWP HP Pro 15" caddie. "OUT OF STOCK!"
Sorry to hear. It seems like many items are out of stock. I hope they come back soon!
At 9:30 I like that tote
have to say, as a germ phobic person, i can't imagine someone vacuuming my house with a vacuum that's been in someone else's house, i guess people hire professional cleaning don't have these thoughts😂
There has been a big post COVID shift of more people using the homeowner's vacuums.
Angela Brown online people like me are saying, welcome to our world, where we're really aware of ecoli, c-diff, all easily found germs that can kill you. we are a no shoes in the house family, so really appreciated hearing you wear booties. i do like your videos, you have a great way of delivering your information, thank you.
I love listening to you! I have been a residential cleaner for 15 years. I started later in life because #1 I love cleaning and #2 I wanted a career shift so I could be available for my kids as teens and all their activities as well as my husband who, at the time, had his own business. I wish I knew about you when I got started. I have had to learn as I go, trial and error. There are two things on my list that I am struggling with. I have been using a Kirby vacuum all these years. It's super heavy to put in and out of my vehicle, plus carrying it up and down stairs etc. It's a powerhouse for sure but I would like to retire it to something more lightweight and durable. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi Susi, Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I know all about the Kirby - a.k.a. the vacuum that will not die. We grew up with Kirby's (Mom, and both Grandma's.) They Kirby's live forever. And you're right, they can be VERY heavy. For right now, since COVID we're actually encouraging all professional cleaners to use the client's vacuum and then empty it when the job is complete. This prevents loading your vacuum in your car, dragging it all over the flooring of someone's home, and then having to sanitize it between jobs where you will drag it all over the flooring of someone else's home. It's the quickest, most efficient way to vacuum the flooring of a home without cross-contamination. It will also let you "try out" a variety of different vacuums in client's homes with different types of rugs, carpets and hard flooring before you make a purchase decision and buy your next vacuum.
I own 3. 2 of them are commercial grade, other is just a cheap $50 walmart one 8 pounds and has the bag system. Which I like. Other ones are a hand held hoover 8 pounds I bought on Amazon be sure to get the tool pouch holder comes separately. Lastly I bought a zoom vaccume about 8 pounds very well made for the price. Those are what I use hopefully this helps good luck!
Following various review the shark vertex pro handheld has the best suction and power you can get ! It’s also cordless but you can buy extra battery (save you a lot of carrying). One more thing I’ve seen other company use are outdoor caddy (with the big wheels) and they just load everything inside.
I bought a Dyson V11 Torque vacumn which I love. No cords to trip over, don't have to look for outlets, holds a charge for about 45 minutes of vacumning, has accessory tools, and it is lightweight. I carry the charger so I can charge it while doing not vacumning tasks. Worth every penny!
I use Dyson outsize for my cleaning! I love it.
I need a Cleaning caddie I take a bag when I clean someone house my back be hurting
The cleaning caddy is a game changer if you have the right one. Hopefully you find one that is lightweight enough to carry. Keep me posted I'm eager to learn what you choose. :-)
I clean at my home and my sons apt. My house i have to go up and down the stairs
That's so nice, I'm sure he appreciates the cleaning help. 🙂
ab is the mkbhd of cleaning caddies.
What does this mean? I don't know how to respond. Thanks I think ;-)
Husky! Durability, lots of snug pockets and professional looking.
Thanks for sharing your review of the Husky bag : )
Why the hair brush in the caddy
LOL. Good eye. It is to brush the fringe on oriental rugs so they all face the same direction.
@@AskAngelaBrown brilliant.
I wish there was one with wheels 😕
Sorry, I'll have to add it to my queue.
Consider the weight of the bag itself.
YES. Beyond 14 inches I personally think the bag is too big and too heavy with cleaning supplies in it to carry. That is just me personally and I'm 5"8' and VERY STRONG. ;-)
She sound like Jodi Foster.
LOL. Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it. :-)
Sure o get all the caddies you choose but I'm shocked you had no recommendations for one on wheels, like a dolly type. These help so many people from injury. Shocked...
You're right, will have to look into those. Thank you for your feedback.
Husky
Thank you for sharing your input and thanks for watching. 🙂
This is the worst advice ever. I ordered the 12" AWP like she suggests from Amazon. It is so small that nothing fits in it. Spray bottles wont fit and there is no way a roll of paper towels would ever fit in there. The thing was nearly $50 and now im stuck dealing with Amazon returns. Proceed with caution people and make sure you see these b4 u buy them.
I'm sorry to hear that the 12" AWP didn't work out for you. Thank you for sharing your experience and advice for others to check sizes before purchasing!
I’m sorry to hear that! In the video, I show the loaded tote with all the supplies so you can see how much fits in it. Your feedback is valuable, and I hope you find a tote that meets your needs better.
Thank you
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
