This checklist explains the cleaning products needed for apartments, offices and restaurants, and how to build a structured set of professional cleaning products using Clinex solutions.
Cleaning products needed for cleaning depend on the surface, the soil type and how often you clean. The most effective approach is to separate products by zone and task, instead of using one chemical for everything.

FAQ
Can I use only an all-purpose cleaner?
An all-purpose cleaner works for light soils, but grease and limescale usually require specialised formulas.
What is the difference between professional and household cleaners?
Professional cleaning products are typically more concentrated and designed for larger areas and heavier usage.
How many products do I need to start a cleaning business?
In most cases, 4–6 core items are enough: an all-purpose cleaner, a degreaser, a descaler, a glass cleaner and one concentrate.
Are Clinex products suitable for home use?
Yes. When used according to label instructions, professional cleaners can be used both at home and in business environments.
How can I reduce spending on cleaning chemicals?
Use concentrates with accurate dosing and choose products based on soil type rather than “just in case”.
