Why You Should Never Use the Same Mop and Cloth for Cleaning Different Apartments

When it comes to apartment cleaning, many people think that one mop and one cloth are enough for every home. But in reality, this practice can be unhygienic, unsafe, and even harmful to your health.

At Chylkyt, we strictly separate cleaning tools for every client — and here’s why that matters.

1. Bacteria and Germs Spread Easily

Every apartment has its own unique environment — different people, pets, and levels of cleanliness.

If the same mop or cloth is used in multiple homes, bacteria, mold spores, and chemical residues from one apartment can be transferred to another.

Even washing the mop after each job doesn’t fully remove microscopic dirt and harmful microbes. That’s why professional cleaning companies in Buenos Aires always use individual or disposable mop heads for each property.

2. Allergens Travel Too

Pet hair, dust, pollen, and cleaning chemical residues can easily stay on used cloths. When reused, they may cause allergic reactions, especially in children, seniors, or people with asthma and respiratory conditions.

Our cleaners use color-coded microfiber cloths to make sure allergens don’t travel between homes.

3. Sanitary Standards Require Individual Cleaning Kits

According to international ISSA and European hygiene standards, each property must have a dedicated set of cleaning tools.

Professionals follow a color-coded system:

• Blue - furniture and general surfaces

• Green - kitchens

• Red - bathrooms

• Yellow - disinfection zones

This method prevents cross-contamination and keeps your home truly hygienic.

4. Old or Dirty Tools Reduce Cleaning Quality

A used mop doesn’t just look bad — it performs worse.

Dirty cleaning tools can spread dirt, odors, and bacteria instead of removing them.

To ensure the best results, we always bring freshly sanitized equipment to every job.

5. Professional Cleaning = Safety, Trust, and Comfort

At Chylkyt, each apartment or office is cleaned with separate, disinfected tools.

We use eco-friendly products, fresh microfiber materials, and strict hygiene controls to guarantee your safety and comfort.

Whether you need a one-time deep clean or regular maintenance, you can count on our professional cleaning services in Buenos Aires to deliver spotless, healthy results.
