This is a picture of an apartment comlpex with 40- 20 to 30 floor buildings filled with some of the priciest apartments in the area. Beautiful hard wood floors, on suite walk in closets and bathrooms, extra large verandas, quality appliances and lighting (zero sound proofing or insulation). Average cost - 1/2 million US $.

What's your point?

How much do you think people should pay for cleaning?
What technology would be suitable for a PRICIEST apartment to clean?

Can ass wiper be made from silk, yes.

No need for mop buckets when there's a perfectly good toilet bowl for the ajumma to dunk her mop in.

OP doesn't realize that the person doesn't clean the Apartments, that person is only cleaning the stairs and hallways.

A baby stroller with a bucket full of dingy water, probably with no bleach? That is truly sparkling my laughing factor. YOU just made me literally fall over laughing. That is so funny as can be. It's 12:26 and the neighbors are starting to make wierd noises as a result of my loud uncontrollable laughing. OMG!


You know man, I've been seeing these old ladies pushing baby strollers and thought, "gee, they sure miss their little babies who are now grown adults out working jobs." Poor ol' ladies who remember a war and great depression.

I'm no cleaning expert, so please help me out here.
Mop and Bucket 101
My understanding of mopping floors is that it goes something like this:
Dunk mop in bucket of hot soapy water. Mop a small are of floor, then dunk mop back into bucket.

Subway Station Adjuma way.

Mop a subway platform that is about 5 metres wide and at least 50 metres in length. Total area about 250square metres having not once dunked the mop in a bucket (actually no bucket in site) using a damp very filthy looking mop.

Is there something wrong with my technique?

Watch your heating bills go up in the cold winter months as the Ajuma Opens all the windows to let the dust out.

Is that 160k JUST for the cleaning lady or is it for the whole shebang? The guards, communal lighting, cleaning, lift maintenance, general upkeep, all cost moolah.

I only take it for granted that other cleaning ajumma would do a similar job with that ajumma do in my university (according to the same cleaning SOP ), I definitely saw they bleach their mop, and they use soap and detergent as well. I am quite bit annoyed they turned the toilet here into a storage of their cleaning materials.
