About

Tony Gouverneur (The Tidy Tradie - Lockcarpenter) coined the phrase "Tidy Tradie" in Sydney, Australia, 21/08/2008. The phrase "Tidy Tradie" came about because in general, trades people had a bad reputation for making a mess and not cleaning up after themselves. They also liked to dump their dirty tools on a clean bench top or floor. Both bad habits would disappoint the paying customer!

The definition of a "Tidy Tradie" is a tradesman or tradeswoman who uses a Tidy Tradie - Work Mat, to protect the work area from scratches, dents, burn marks & stains.

A Tidy Tradie also wears Work Boot Covers to protect the flooring from dirt and boot marks.

As well as the above, a Tidy Tradie also cleans up after themselves with a vacuum or a dust pan and broom.

When required, they use cleaning spray and rags to clean off their dirty finger marks etc.

It is also suggested that when a very small amount of rubbish or mess is created, they should take it off site at no extra charge, instead of dumping it in the clients bins.
