I Tony Gouverneur, hereby declare that I coined the phrase "Tidy Tradie" in Sydney, Australia, 21/08/2008. My 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 and stains. A "Tidy Tradie" also wears work boot covers to protect flooring from dirt and boot marks. A "Tidy Tradie" also cleans up after themselves, with a vacuum cleaner or dust pan and broom. If required, they use their own cleaning spray and rags to remove dirty finger marks etc. I also suggest that very small amounts of rubbish and mess that is created, should be taken off site at no extra charge, instead of filling up the clients rubbish bin.

The phrase "Tidy Tradie" has become popular in Australia. This came about because in general, tradesmen have a bad reputation of creating a mess and not cleaning up after themselves.
