The key to any successful clean up venture is having the proper tools and supplies to support you on your way. If you skip this step or don’t do it thoroughly, you risk doing everything in vain, since wrong tools can be inefficient and damage surfaces, doing more harm than good, as well as extending the time it takes to finish.

Whichever way you prefer, it’s always good to know what equipment you’ll need to get the job done. Read on and find out what it includes.
