Cleaning Household Hint: Dusting once a week IS a good idea!!

admin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:33:10 +0000

Even though our favorite cartoon character Maxine will tell you different, dusting is a good idea every week. Don’t have the time or energy…… then let our trusted maids do it for you!!

We LOVE Maxine and did you know there is a history to this funny cartoon character? John Wagner, Hallmark artist since 1970, says Maxine was inspired by his mother, his maiden aunts and his grandmother, the woman who bought him art lessons when ‘fill in the pumpkins’ was about the extent of his art classes at St. John’s Catholic School in Leonia N.J.

Here are a few that we found funny related to house work and cleaning:

Do You Have “HouseCleaning” Worries?

admin — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 00:32:40 +0000

Just the other day a woman contacted us wanting to know if www.cleanyoucansee.com has any references because she is very nervous about having a cleaning service come clean her big old house. We have plenty of very loyal clients that will speak highly of our services & are not going to another maid service anytime soon! We understand about those “HouseCleaning” Worries. Here are some questions or concerns that came up recently in conversation:

“Will your cleaning service come to my area?”
Centrally located in Denton, we go out as far as Sanger, Krum and Flower Mound.

“Can your professional cleaning ladies clean my house as good as I do?”
No one knows your house better than you, so maybe you could clean your house better, but how long does it take and how much is your time worth? Our cleaning ladies are trained and monitored by our experienced cleaning leader professional who has been with our company for a long time. The cleaning leader does a quality check to make sure that they “didn’t miss a spot.” They also keep a checklist & if we do “miss a spot” then we ask that you make a note of it so we can add it to our checklist. We aim to please and improve!

“Can I trust your cleaning ladies or maids?”
We do very detailed background checks on our employees and if we notice any problems at work, we do drug testing and another background check if needed. There are many folks out there in this economy looking for jobs and many are lining up to work for a company like ours, but we won’t hire just anyone. We want to hire the best, those that are loyal, want a good job and care about what they do. Also, because we send more than one cleaning person, they are a check for each other. We understand that trust is a big issue and keep trust worthy employees.

“I can hire an individual for less expensive, why would I want to spend the extra costs?”
You probably could hire for less expensive, but because we are a larger cleaning service company, we have the ability to do the back ground checks, the proper quality checks, and have a system that keeps our clients happy & loyal. There is an old saying, “You get what you pay for!” and in some cases it is a risk you take hiring an individual, unless it is someone you know or has great references from your friends.

Let Clean Reflections answer your questions and give you the cleaning service you deserve. Anytime…… ask to speak to some of our clients & hear some of our great reviews!

How Often Should You Clean?

Sharon — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 13:35:00 +0000

I ran across this by Mandi Rogier, an eHow Contributor which you might find helpful if you wonder why your home isn't looking it's best.

House cleaning is an important chore that can keep your home beautiful, livable and sanitary. By maintaining a regular schedule, you can ensure that your home is always presentable and avoid the last minute rush to tidy up when a friend is coming over. How often you need to clean your house will vary with each chore, but there are some simple guidelines that can help you create your own house cleaning schedule.

Kitchen
The kitchen is one area of the home that cannot get by with anything less than a daily cleaning. After cooking, you should wipe down all of the kitchen surfaces and put away any supplies that you used. Do dishes immediately after the meal, and wipe down the sink once a day, preferably before bed. The floor should be swept and mopped once or twice a week, or more if needed. The fridge should be cleaned out regularly. The ideal time to do this is right before you go grocery shopping, so a fridge full of spoiled food and rotten leftovers doesn't fool you into thinking you don't need to buy more food. Give the appliances, fridge and sink a thorough scrubbing once a week.

Bathroom
The bathroom can get dirty very quickly, so a regular daily cleaning is important. Wipe down the tub, shower stall, sink and counter with a multipurpose cleaner once a day. Wipe down the mirror with a touch of white vinegar. Straighten the toiletries and hang up towels after every use. Ideally, the toilet should be cleaned several times a week. At a minimum, do this once a week. Once a week, you should also thoroughly sweep and mop the floor and replace the towels.

Bedroom
The bedroom will need less work than the other areas of the house. Tidy up any laundry, books, shoes and other clutter on a daily basis. Once a week, change the linens, dust the furniture and vacuum the carpet. Once a month, you should vacuum and rotate the mattress. In children's rooms, you may need to wipe down surfaces and pick up toys more frequently. Encourage children to help you with these tasks until they can eventually complete them on their own and take responsibility for their own bedroom.

Living Room
The state of your living room will vary greatly depending on the number of people and pets residing in your home, and how much time they spend there. If you live alone or with your spouse and you both work during the day, then your living room may remain largely untouched throughout the week. If you are a stay-at-home mom with kids that are homeschooled and an ever-growing collection of pets, you will fall at the opposite end of the spectrum. In general, you should vacuum the carpets two or three times a week. Pick up books, toys, cups and other clutter at the end of the day, every day, and wipe off surfaces. Vacuum the upholstery once a month, and shampoo the upholstery and carpets once or twice a year.

Other Activities
Some household cleaning can be left to a once-yearly "spring cleaning." Don't let the name fool you, though. You can just as easily take on an annual cleaning in the summer or fall, though winter is ill-suited to many of the tasks involved in this campaign. Once a year you should give the house a thorough scrubdown. Clean under and behind furniture, including the fridge and other appliances. Dust the ceiling and fans, wash the drapes and wash scuff marks and stains from the walls. Empty bookcases and toy shelves and wipe down the shelves and the items that go on them. If you are doing this cleaning in the fall, this is a good time to launder and put away summer draperies and linens and air out the fall set. Likewise, in the spring this activity can be reversed.

Hate the thought of cleaning?

Sharon — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 15:22:00 +0000

We all know cleaning is not rocket science, and we all think we can do it outselves, "why hire an outside company to shovel out my dirt?" Yet ... it's the last on the list of "to-do's" for so many of us ... why is that do you suppose?

I'm going to offer some encouraging words. You CAN do it with the right tools and just a little time set aside for the purpose. it really isn't necessary to do it all at once. Of course, if you need it done NOW, we're a phone call away (940-566-MAID).

Let's tackle it from the bottom up. First you need your weapons of choice. We at Clean Reflections use Green Juice an enzyme based cleanser, for most surfaces that don't require dynamite. It literally eats bacteria and most dangerous germs leaving behind a fresh clean, almost non-scent. We pack some grit type cleanser for porcelain, and a diluted version of Green Juice for glass and windows. Then there is toilet bowl cleanser and we bring a pumice stone for hard water buildup if needed.

Now for equipment type weapons: Your vaccuum of choice; a hose attachment is handy for corners,beneath furniture and for the stairs of course; rubber gloves for the obvious reasons plus when used dry, they make a great hair ball remover for upholstery; a long duster; a short duster -- which could be a feather duster but we've settled on Swiffers. They hold the dirt better and squeeze into tight places nicely and they don't molt. Their drawback is expense. You can on occasion find them at the Dollar Store, however. A scraper for melted wax, a small wisk broom and dust pan, a broom and a mop; I recommend a Sh-Mop found at Jeff Campbell's www.thecleanteam.com website. And last but not least, the ultimate microfiber cloth! One for glass, a couple for counter tops and surfaces, and one for the bath.

You'll need a bucket or tote to store and carry all this and an apron (most important) to carry a few of these things in while in action.

I'll give more details on execution next blog. Until then, load your tote and keep it clean!
