<v Speaker 1>The experts with Jason Lauren, your vessel specialists.

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Who specialize in very special things.

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Hi.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm Jason Shipway and I'm an expert in cleaning.

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 5>Let's hear from the expert.

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Jason Shipway is our cleaning expert.

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 5>He joined us this morning.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Jason morning, Jason, Good morning guys.

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 5>How are you going good? You're going to save our furniture.

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I wish you lived with me.

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 5>So what do you do? Jason?

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 4>So, I've got a cleaning company in Western Australia called

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 4>Enhanced Cleaning. We do commercial and residential. We've got a

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 4>team of about sixty and I'm also certified in trauma

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 4>and crime scene and mold, so all things mold.

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 5>Wow, that's okay. Bit to break down here.

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 6>How did you become an expert clean? Were you fascinated

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 6>with cleaning as a kid? Were you?

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Were you a clean freak?

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've always been a bit fascinated with it, but

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't until I was eighteen I really pulled the

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 4>trigger and actually started a business. And then yeah, six

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 4>years later, here we are.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>What's the worst you've seen?

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I've seen some pretty bad stuff. Things I

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 4>probably couldn't talk about on radio, but you can let

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 4>your imagination run wild.

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think it's two areas.

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:16.119
<v Speaker 3>One is residential, where I'm sure you know it's more

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 3>comical and you would have seen some pretty shocking stuff.

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 5>Hoarder's places really freaked me out. That's not going on,

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 5>yeah my olden stuff.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, hoarder's place is really I'm not a big fan

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 4>of those ones. I just get anxiety walking into a

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 4>place and just seeing stuff piles of the ceiling. I

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 4>like to stay in one place for a short amount

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 4>of time and then move to the next, So those

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 4>really aren't my cup of tea. But I do love

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 4>residential because generally speaking, people seem to take better care

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 4>of their own homes rather than a lot of commercial spaces.

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 4>We clean like you know, you can imagine what it's

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 4>like trying to clean a shopping center now.

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I remember growing up on mean streets to Brisbane in

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 3>a full house with three other sisters, and I remember

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Mum always just going put vinegar on it. It was

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>like that was the go to for cleaning everything. Yeah,

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 3>is it the go to or is there a better option?

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, vinegar is great because it's got that acidity and

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 4>if you combine it with a bit of dish soap

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 4>in a spray bottle with some water. It's actually a

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 4>very very good cleaner and you can use that for

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 4>ninety percent of the house there are.

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Going to be or carpet or cloth.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 4>It's great for surfaces, it's it's really good for eating

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 4>away at limescale built up on showers again because of

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 4>that acidity. But you are going to find some better

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 4>purpose cleaners off the shelf in you know, commercial grade

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 4>stuff in places like Bunnings. But if you if you

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 4>don't have that, then reaching for vinegar and some dish

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 4>soap is really going to be all you need.

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Jason, Now the internet is full of I'm a

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 6>lazy girl cleaner? Is there a hack to keeping you

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 6>getting your house clean quickly?

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Like?

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Are there things?

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 6>You know if you fluff the pillows, the vacuum? Yeah,

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 6>what are some cleaning hacks to make things happen faster?

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's a lot of cleaning hacks. Some of

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 4>them are a bit more questionable than others. I've seen

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 4>people cleaning with tomato sauce, which I'm not sure why

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 4>you wouldn't just go and buy a bit of bray

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 4>and white reach their own. No, there's a lot of

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 4>good hacks. You can grab an old pillow case and

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 4>throw that over your ceiling fans to dust them. Yeah, yeah,

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 4>I've seen. I've seen people using you know, a few

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 4>drops of lemon and some hot water in the microwave.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.399
<v Speaker 4>Turned that on for a few minutes and then you'll

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 4>be able to wipe everything away with a paper towel.

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>And then it doesn't smell like popcorn anymore.

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Removes the odor and everything as well, which is great.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because I've burned popcorn in my microwave for a

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 5>little while with the lemon.

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 4>Throw it out, just a few drops of water with

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 4>some some vinegar in a little tray with water, and

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 4>you're good to go.

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 5>Do you have a cleaner or do you do your own?

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 4>It depends. I usually have some of my staff come

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 4>and clean my place.

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Imagine them cleaning for the boss and make.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure everything was immaculates.

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 4>They do a good job.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Can stuff.

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Like to chest not in Melbourne, but that mystery boss,

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 6>send them over.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you a review on behalf of everyone who

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>has a cleaner. Lucky enough to have a cleaner, ask

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a very important question Jason.

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 5>Do you do it cheaper for cash?

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you expect do you expect us to pre clean?

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.239
<v Speaker 1>It should be pre clean before the cleaner.

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 4>Do you mean just like tidying or what do you mean?

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, my mom used to say, make sure you know, I.

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Even I sort of done the bench tops and all

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>that sort of things. Point well, because I just don't

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 1>want it too like a shit show.

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.239
<v Speaker 4>But I think that's what it is. I think people

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 4>just feel a bit self conscious about having it be

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 4>too dirty, so they try to get it to a

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 4>standard or to a point that the cleaner can come

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 4>in and then be like, oh, these people aren't you know,

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Well you said it not me. But there's there's two

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 4>types of cleaners. You've got the maids and then you've

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 4>got people who just come in and clean. Maids they're

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 4>going to fold your laundry, they're going to do the dishes,

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 4>they're going.

0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 3>To it's got one of the commonly on a chuck

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 3>I do not.

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't that's unfair.

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 4>So then the cleaners they'll they'll usually ask you to

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 4>do that stuff and you know, pick things up off

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 4>the floor so that they can just have a free

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 4>surface to clean.

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 6>Soon when cleaners walk into our house. Are they're judging us?

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 4>I think some people would be the stuff I've seen.

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty hard for me to judge anything, just with

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 4>the sort of cleaning I've done in the past. But

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, you've got to realize that most people are

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 4>just too busy to keep on top of their house

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 4>and it's just it's just we're humans at the end

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 4>of the day.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Jason. Now I'm going to throw Clint under here.

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 6>Clint no clean at a cleaner who he came home

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 6>one day and found her nude in the shower, and

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 6>she said, that's how she cleans people showers.

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 5>She gets it.

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.919
<v Speaker 6>I suggested that it's not normal to take your clothes

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 6>off in someone's house to clean their shower. Do your

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 6>cleaners do that?

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I would be inclined to agree that that's not normal.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>But we think she was just having a shower.

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>It has happened before, has it?

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 4>Has it happened before? Yeah? Not in my experience. I mean, this.

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Actually happened, and she said she she did a better

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>job when she was sure.

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 4>You hired a cleaner.

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 5>To shame Jason.

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Well done, Jason.

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 6>That note we continue tarnishing Clint's reputation and welcome to

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 6>the club.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Jason, Jason, what's your favorite cleaning product? My favorite?

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 5>What's your favorite? To pick one?

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Just what is every house market or just anywhere?

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 5>What does every house.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Need something we can all get our hands on.

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, there's this really good Australian brand called King's,

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 4>so King's Cleaning Coat. I use a lot of their stuff.

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Actually I use their glass and multi surface cleaner, their

0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 4>cream cleanser, and stain the steel conditioner and pretty much

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 4>if you get those three products, you can clean the

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 4>whole house top to bottom.

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>King's Cleaning. Is that your business? Jason?

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 4>No, I do know the owners. I don't get any

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 4>kickback from it, but it's their great products and we

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 4>use it in the business.

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 6>How often are people really emptying their toasters cleaning.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Their toasters up? Do you know that you're supposed to

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>do that, like after every second use or something? No, look,

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Jason's nodding.

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 4>We tell our cleaners to do it every time they

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 4>go into someone's house, and every time we open it

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 4>up and it's it's full of crumbs. So yeah, I

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 4>don't think people are doing it every week.

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 5>Would be good, I'd have a Baker's de Lots in

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 5>the bottom of my mind.

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 3>The tray out we are doing. The experts Jason Chipway

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>is our expert this morning in cleaning. Hey Jas, thanks

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 3>for a really good insight in something we all have

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 3>to deal with every single week.
