We generally scour the web for great bargains when it comes to buying our products, but we must shout about this fantastic hardware store in Morningside 🎉

It sells everything we need to carry out our cleans and so much more! ⭐️
We could get lost in here for hours on end!!! 😂😍🙌👌

Shopping local is really important to us, if you live near, please pop in too! 🚪🛒🧹🧽

🧰 Top tool Tuesday 🧰

Not to be overlooked, the microfibre cloth is probably one of the most important items in our kit and definitely the most used! 🤩

We’re a bit picky when it comes to cloths 🤨 we loved that these matched our corporate colour! 😜

These cloths are super soft, wring out well, superb at polishing and they’re super absorbent 🧽 They even foam up the tiniest bit of washing liquid too, saving us some pennies! 💰

You can find them on Amazon 🙏
We are about to order the blue for bathrooms too! 🚿💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️ Client review ⭐️

Thank you so much Ken for this wonderful review, it was a pleasure to get your property ready for rental 🤩

❤️

🙌 Winning Wednesday 🙌

Back to back end of tenancy cleans makes today a winning Wednesday albeit a bit of a wacky one too!!! 🤣😅🤩

The team have loved getting these two properties ready for their checkout reports ❤️ A fun filled day - We’ll all sleep well tonight! 🛌💤😍

❤️

Oh my goodness - this amazing review has just made our week!
🙏 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🙏

Thank you so much to all of the team at Chapmans, we absolutely love working with you and really enjoy ensuring our services aid a smooth and enjoyable end of tenancy for your clients and yourselves 😍

⭐️ Top tip Tuesday! ⭐️

We loved this beautiful bo***ir style chandelier 💡😍 BUT we didn’t love cleaning it!!! 🤣🤭😬 🤫

Damp dusting and plenty of patience was the answer! ✅🌟

It’s been added to our list of items that look lovely but we wouldn’t recommend to have in your home or a rental property. A simple and stylish drum shade that’s easy to dust and easy to replace the bulb would be our choice 🤩

What do you think?! 🙇‍♀️

🔋 Sunday vibes 🔋

A day of rest and relaxation is in order today 😴 Time to recharge the battery so we’re ready for a very busy week ahead. 🙌

A home cooked curry 🍛 a walk 🐾🥾and some family board games are our choice today 😍

We’d love to hear your R&R favourites! 😴😍🔋

🧡Happy Sunday ✨

🧰 Top tool Tuesday 🧰

This is such a great little set and so handy for when we need to take off oven doors and remove the glass - we love that it’s super light weight and neatly packs into our bag 💼

👋 Meet the team Tuesday 👋

Hello I’m Catriona 👋 I’ve been working for Polished Properties since June. I’ve been part-time since the summer but I’ve had such a great experience working with Polished so far that I’m very excited to be joining the team full-time from December! 🤩

Other than helping to keep Edinburgh polished and sparkling 🧼✨ I love being outside! 🌿 Happiest when in the woods, in the sea or in a Loch. 🌊 I spend a lot of time outside enjoying the fresh air and exploring with my fluffy four-legged friend! 🐶

Having worked with toddlers for the last 10 years and being self-employed for 5 of those years, working for Polished Properties is a very different job for me but I’m enjoying it a lot and I’m really happy to be getting to work with such a lovely bunch of people! ☺️

💆‍♀️ Self-care Sunday 💆‍♀️

Practising self-care isn’t always easy! Most of us are far to busy, the weeks disappear and we put ourselves last on our to do list 📝

This job is a physical one and looking after ourselves is so important to keep the aches and pains at bay!

This weeks self care choice was an acupuncture session and a hot stones massage - 90 minutes of bliss! ✨✨All ready for a another busy week 🙌

Fresh air 💨 quiet time 🕰️ healthy food 🥑
a hot bath 🛀 reading 📖 walking or running 🏃‍♀️…. There’s lots to pick and we’d love to hear your favourites 😍

🍀 Good luck to our lovely Catriona and everyone who’s running the women’s Edinburgh 10k today 🍀

💖 Somtimes it’s the smallest of spaces that have the BIGGEST impact! 🤩

Another beauty from Clouds Property Management 👌

👋 Meet the team Tuesday 👋

Hi, I’m Melissa, third year English Language and Literature student and first year Polished pupil☺️

I started working as a temp for PPLtd during the summer but my experience was therapeutic and inspiring enough for me to stay on as a part-time member of staff!

When I’m not polishing properties, you can find me cleansing my mind with weight lifting, hiking or yoga — although you would be lucky to find me in general because I’m usually nose deep in books📚✍🏽

This is the best job I’ve ever had, if not because of the people I’m lucky to work alongside, then because I get to discover pockets of Edinburgh that I wouldn’t usually venture out to! 😍

⭐️💫 5 star feedback 💫⭐️

Thank you so much Lesley for your kind words 🤗

👗 Re organising and decluttering 👗

I’ve just sneaked into my teenage daughters bedroom and I LOVE that she takes great pride in reorganising & decluttering her space on a regular basis! 💕 I wander where she gets that from?! 🧐😂

Here’s some key tips if you find this overwhelming 🤯

* set a goal, having an idea of what you’d like to achieve will help get you there ✔️

* be brutally honest, if you’ve not used it or worn it in a year then maybe it’s time to say goodbye 👋

* Get prepared, buy some vacuum pack bags for last seasons clothes, clothes divider boxes and storage boxes for paper work - labels and marker pens are really helpful too 🖊️📤

* A whole house can seem overwhelming, so we would recommend taking it a room at a time 🕰️😍

We’re always here to help too, as we offer a deep clean/declutter & reorganise service 🫶

🤗 Meet the team Tuesday 🤗

We’re swapping out our top tool Tuesday 🧰 so you can get to know the Polished team a little better over the next few weeks ☺️

First up is me, Loni, Director and owner of PPLtd ✨

Mum of two (well 3 including our crazy spaniel! 🐶) & married to Marc💍, I love family time, going for walks & cosy nights in front of the fire 🔥 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👟

My slight OCD means I LOVE an organised, clean & tidy space, which is super helpful being in this business! My standards are high! 😜⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did you know I’m an identical twin?! It still causes some confusion which always makes me giggle!! 🤭 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

My favourite part of my job is being on site everyday with my team. It’s physically hard work but I always feel super proud when we’ve finished making a property shine - its massively rewarding 🙏🤩

⚡️SUNDAY VIBES ⚡️

A little home organising, some fresh air & quiet time, home cooking & a lot of gratitude 🙏

We do love a Sunday 😍 We hope you enjoy yours, whatever your plans 👌🤗

🧰 TOP TOOL TUESDAY 🧰

So the verdict is in 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

We love the fish scale clothes 😍🐟 They’re great for drying shower screens, baths, glass, mirrors & really soft for polishing. ✨

We’ve definitely used less kitchen roll, so a win for sure! 🏆

We ordered ours from Amazon, there’s loads of choices 👌

🧰 TOP TOOL TUESDAY 🧰

Have you heard the hype over the fish scale clothes?! 🐟

They’re the talk of the trade, so our orders in! 🛒🤩

Super absorbent, great for polishing, so soft & fast drying - we’ll keep you posted!! 😛
Have you tried them? 🤔

The simplicity of an old tenement close - they don’t make them like this anymore!

Amazing spaces aren’t always luxurious and modern, they’re old buildings steeped in history with charm and character - if only the walls could talk!

Another day, another beautiful day at the office!

Sunday vibes 💤 ☕️

With a packed week ahead it’s a day of rest and self care for the Polished team. 😴

One week of August left and we’re not sure how that happened so quickly!! ⏰ 😲

We’re getting ourselves geared up and ready for what’s looking like a manic September! Bring it on! We’re more than ready! 🙌

Happy Sunday ❤️

Sunny had the right idea - she left Henry and Hetty to get on with the day job today, while she took herself off to the spa! Who doesn’t need a spa day half way through end of tenancy season?! 😅🧼

We were not jealous at all of her instagram update today! 😝

Swapping soapy bubbles for the right type of bubbles! 😜🥂 🫧 💛

Moving home can be a momentous and disruptive time in a persons life. Finding the right cleaning company who understands the purpose of your cleaning request from the very outset will save you time, money and stress in the long run! 💫🧼

At Polished HQ we are deeply passionate about high standards and understanding the needs of our clients, it allows us to tailor every clean. 💞

When we take the time to understand ‘WHY‘- we understand the profound and domino effect our cleans have, whether that be end of tenancy, pre-tenancy, builders clean, prepping for sale…. The list goes on.

When a clean is carried out correctly;

🧼Inventories get graded to the highest level of cleanliness for incoming tenants
🧼Property managers are able to carry out straightforward checkouts
🧼Deposits get returned with ease & without dispute
🧼Properties presented to the market look their best in marketing pictures
🧼Lettings negotiators and viewing agents have confidence in viewing clean and well presented properties
🧼New clients moving into properties have an enjoyable and positive move in experience
🧼Landlords get maintenance feedback that deep cleaning highlights

Everything we do has a knock on effect - we transform spaces for new chapters. We clean ovens back to new, so hard earned deposit money gets returned. 💵 We report maintenance, so small issues don’t become big ones for owners expensive assets. 🔨 We do the job right so someone else’s job is made that little easier! 🫶🏼

Some might say that’s the ‘Polished’ effect! 🧼💫

Whatever you do……………do it with passion or not at all.

-tenancy

🛠️ Maintenance 🛠️

As you know we are all about the detail at Polished, however it’s not just the final finishing touches, polishing & staging that’s super important. ✔️✨✔️✨✔️

Relaying key maintence issues to our Agents ensures small problems don’t grow legs & cause huge headaches for themselves & their tenant’s if left unnoticed 🤯

We’ve beady eyes for the smallest of detail 👀 and didn’t miss this potentially hazardous protruding nail 😱

🧼💫🫶🏼 Transformation Tuesday 🫶🏼🧼💫

Oh we do love a good hob glow up and this one is too good not to share!

The trusty hob scraper and Bar Keepers Friend Power Cream strikes again! These tools keep giving and giving……. 🧼💫

Look at that shine!

✨ 👀 ✨

⭐️💫 FIVE STAR FEEDBACK 💫⭐️

Thank you Dee for these lovely words!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🧰 💫Top tool Tuesday💫🧰

This is definitely one of our top 3 favourite products in our toolkit! 🫶🏼🧼

You know we love an oven clean and this de-carboniser product just melts away the baked on black food and grease residue at the bottom and sides of ovens. It’s also great for those tricky oven trays, no need for hours of scrubbing!

If you try this at home, team it with an oven scraper and you are on to a winning combination for an oven that looks like it’s been professionally cleaned!



🫶🏼🧼💫

A little ‘Sunday shoutout’ - to Claye and his team at Edinburgh Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning! These guys are genuinely miracle workers - professional, super easy to deal with and not to mention all five star reviews!

Being able to offer carpet and upholstery cleaning through a trustworthy contractor, alongside our cleaning services, means we cover all bases for our clients!

Two jobs completed this week - which transformed a challenging sofa & carpets and resulted in our clients being super happy!

If you are in the Edinburgh area, require carpet or upholstery cleaning in any capacity, commercial or domestic, small or large - we can HIGHLY recommend!
