Cleaning Tools: what our team uses and why
The right tool does half the work. For Indian homes with marble, vitrified tiles and constant dust, our team relies on good microfibre, a flat mop, an extendable duster and, for deep work, a steam cleaner.

Dense 300+ GSM cloths in 4 colours: one colour each for kitchen, washroom, glass and dusting.
Brands to compare: Scotch-Brite, Gala
Flat microfibre mop
Lifts dust from marble and vitrified tiles with very little water, so stone keeps its shine.
Brands to compare: Scotch-Brite, Spotzero by Milton
Spin mop with bucket
For large floors. The spin wringer leaves the mop damp, not wet, which protects grout.

Buying checklist
What to look for before you buy, from professionals who use these every day.
| Product | What to look for | Our team's tip |
|---|---|---|
| Microfibre cloths | Dense weave (300+ GSM), colour-coded sets, wash without fabric softener | Use one colour per room type so the toilet cloth never reaches the kitchen. |
| Mops | Flat microfibre mop for marble and tiles; spin mop for large areas | Wring well: excess water dulls marble and seeps into grout. |
| Steam cleaners | Adjustable pressure, attachments for grout and upholstery | Never steam unsealed wood or delicate stone. |
| Vacuum cleaners | Cordless for daily dust, wet-and-dry for deep work, HEPA filter for allergies | Empty the dust cup after each use; suction drops fast when it is full. |
| Extendable dusters | Reaches 3 m or more, washable head | Do fans and lights first, before you clean the floor. |
