soap on carpet equals sticky residue that attracts dirt, and faded colours sometimes. Soap is also semi obsolescent due to its poor performance compared to modern detergents.
errm, no. When a pub table is sticky, it's sugar residue because they have 'cleaned' it with a damp cloth, that is to say, they have merely diluted the beer and spread it around a bit. The proper cleaner used in pubs is bright pink and comes in a spray bottle
IANAE but I work part time in an LA school in the caretaking dept. My first reaction to the above is B*locks.
Flash will clean the hard surfaces without damace (if used at the correct dilution but a better bet is a cleaner which will disinfect the surfaces. Any sanitiser will do or if there is a serious problem, a cleaner/disinfectant ( Lifeguard cleaner/disinfectant is what we use in toilers when diluted as specified.
In another life I am responsible for cleaning a church wich is also used for food service. All hard surfaces used for food service and consumption are cleaned usind an Evans product called Es-teem which is a cleaner/sanitiser

They supply cleaning products through local commercial cleaning suppliers.
As for carpets, a good extraction cleaner using the correct detergent will do a good job. A cleaner such as HSS Hire 58322 with Evans Extraction cleaner will do a very good job, but this is only an ocasional job. The cleaner costs about £600 ex vat to buy and the carpet will need to dry overnicht - no vacuuming needed.
HTH - I have no objections to your showing this to the landlord. I suspect that any local clening supplier would visit and make recommendations FOC in the hpoe of getting a supply contract. BTW H4S demands that the employer has copies of the COSHH sheets for any products used on the premises.
Any questions, if you post again I can contact you by e-mail

Local Italian restaurants use the same stuff, the waitresses go around with a spray bottle clipped to their belt. On Granite it's OK but on wooden tables finished with "varnish" it can soften it to the extent you could write your name in it with a finger nail.
It is good practice to vary the product from time to time, to avoid any build-up of resistant bacteria. When I ran a clean room, we used a commercial cleaner / sanitiser, but the microbiologist insisted that we also occasionally wiped down with either strong bleach or alcohol wipes.
I can understand that by remembering a thread about cleans 99.95 of germs, leaving the super bugs to run rampant, instead of having to compete against the normal bugs.
