When I ran cleaning crews, I stressed two things, rolling up cords properly, and never using abrasives on porcelain fixtures, the latter being a fireable offense, as I described it as, "willful destruction of company property." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXfFtn1Yjow I used to tell my guys that I wouldn't hold it against them if they had to ask me multiple times to demonstrate how to roll up the cords properly.
