A PROFESSIONAL cleaner has revealed the four things she would never have in her home.

So if you’re considering getting a matte black sink or a silicone toilet brush, you might want to listen up.

The Australian-based cleaner, known online as ‘Jetlag Remedy’ took to social media to share her thoughts on the homeware items she isn’t a fan of.

She said: “Four things I’d never have in my home as a professional cleaner.

“If you have any of these things, that’s totally fine, it’s just my opinion.”

The cleaner first shared her thoughts on silicone toilet brushes, as she explained: “Starting off strong with this bad boy - silicone toilet brushes. What the hell?

“They barely work, they’re flimsy, they break.

“As soon as I see one of these in someone’s bathroom it brings a tear to my eye, knowing I’m gonna have to try and clean a toilet with that.

“Next we’ve got these tiles - especially in a bathroom.

“They just collect so much dust and the dust sticks inside the grooves of them.

“Whether you’re using a dry cloth or a wet cloth, it’s just really, really hard to clean.

“It just hurts my soul.”

The cleaner then explained that she isn’t a fan of matte black sinks, as she added: “Next and I know this one’s gonna be a little bit controversial.

“It may look aesthetically pleasing, but these sinks - the dark coloured sinks with the matte sort of finish - major dislike.

“You can see every single little crumb and piece of food and everything else in between - you can see it all.

“And not being able to get it shining and sparkling like you would with any other sink - heartbreaking.”

Finally, the cleaning whizz explained that she would never own a glass table, as she continued: “Next, we’ve got big, glass tables.

“Again, very aesthetically pleasing, [but] streak marks, finger marks, it’s just not a fun time.”

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @jetlagremedy, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it was shared just one day ago, but has quickly amassed 295,000 views.

But social media users were left divided, particularly at the cleaner’s thoughts on silicone toilet brushes.

One person said: “Agree with all this.”

Another added: “Agree 100% and those silicone toilet brushes are absolutely useless!”

A third commented: “I agree with the silicon toilet brush! I was so excited to get one but it seriously sucks!!”

At the same time, someone else posted: “I love my silicone toilet brush. Never going back.”

Another chimed in: “Love my silicone toilet brush. Much better than the originals.”

Whilst one woman claimed: “My silicone toilet brush works amazing, I find normal ones too big to get properly in there.”
