If you've ever wiped a kitchen worktop, then touched a kettle handle, then picked up a phone, you already understand the problem. Contamination moves quietly.

Need to get a rental property inspection-ready fast? You are not alone. Sometimes the notice lands late, the flat is busy, and the place feels one step away from chaos.
