‘We use a Pullman or a Henry vacuum – the size and suction are great; microfibre cloths and good glass cloths for polishing and shining,’ she said in the video.
Pullmans and Henry vacuums are commercial products designed to make cleaning jobs easier to complete, but often have a minimum cost of $299.

To clean marble surfaces, Kacie uses a non-toxic biodegradable glass cleaner.
Grout cleaner is only used when deep cleaning the bathroom, otherwise dishwashing liquid, a magic eraser, squeegee and brushes are ideal.
‘A cream cleanser, any brand [will] do, this is great for shining the sink,’ she said.
Kacie said she also uses two different types of mops – a string mop or a flat mop for gloss tiles.
Toilet cleaner, eucalyptus oil for the mop water and a duster with an extension handle is also included in the cleaning kit.
