Steps we take to prevent cross-contamination
At Sparkling Homes Cleaning, we believe that a truly clean home isn’t just about appearances—it’s about creating a safe, healthy environment for you and your family. 🧽✨ That’s why preventing cross-contamination is one of our top priorities during every single cleaning.
Cross-contamination happens when bacteria, germs, and dirt are accidentally spread from one surface (or home!) to another. But not with us. We take extra precautions to make sure the sparkle stays where it belongs—and the germs stay far away.
Here’s exactly how we prevent cross-contamination and protect your home:
🧺 1. Fresh, Clean Supplies for Every Home
We never reuse dirty cloths, mops, or sponges from one home to another. Each house gets:
Freshly laundered microfiber cloths
Clean mop pads
Sanitized brushes and tools
Everything is washed and disinfected thoroughly between uses, so your home gets the clean it deserves—without bringing in anything from someone else's.
🧴 2. Color-Coded Cloth System
Not all rooms are created equal—and neither are our cleaning cloths!We use a color-coded microfiber system to ensure that cloths used in bathrooms, kitchens, and general living spaces stay separate at all times.
One color for bathrooms 🚽
One color for kitchens 🍴
Another color for general dusting and surfaces 🛋️
This simple but powerful system helps prevent bathroom germs from ever making their way onto your kitchen counters or living room coffee table.
✋ 3. Gloves for Every Cleaning
Our cleaning techs always wear gloves—and change them as needed between different rooms or homes. This adds an extra layer of protection and helps minimize the risk of transferring germs from one surface (or home) to another.
🧹 4. Proper Product Use and Disinfection
We use high-quality, professional-grade cleaning products that are designed to disinfect and kill germs effectively. We also allow products the proper "dwell time" (meaning we let the cleaners sit long enough on surfaces to actually kill bacteria, not just wipe it away).
Cleaners aren't rushed—and that makes all the difference for your safety.
🚗 5. Clean, Organized Equipment Storage
Even between cleanings, we make sure our vacuums, caddies, and gear are sanitized and organized. Dirty tools aren't thrown into our vehicles to "deal with later"—they're handled properly so that everything we bring into your home is fresh and ready to serve you safely.

At Sparkling Homes, we know a truly great clean isn’t just what you see—it’s what you don’t see.Every precaution we take is about ensuring that your home isn’t just beautiful, it’s genuinely healthier and safer for you and your loved ones.
