“1. You love the results, but not the process.

Everyone loves having a clean home but not all of us like the part where we do the cleaning. If you work full-time, coming home to scrub showers, vacuum floors, dust furniture and clean the kitchen can feel like having two full-time jobs.

2. You’ll enjoy your home more.

If the first thing you see when you arrive home is a dirty countertop, toothpaste splattered mirrors, streaky floors and clutter everywhere, you need a cleaning service! Wouldn’t it be nice to relax and rest after a long, hard day? Imagine not having to run around and stash the clutter when your friends are stopping by! Your home should be as stress free as you can make it – professional house cleaning can help achieve that.

3. It cuts down on clutter.
Think about the last time you tried to sort the clutter in your home – you start to go through books and DVD collections and clouds of dust waft through the room. You sit down to sort the 3026 toys in your kid’s playroom but the floor is covered in your dog’s hair. The kitchen counters are so full of stuff that the thought of cleaning out the junk drawers seems impossible. Why? Because the time required to tackle these small organizing tasks is over shadowed by the need to do the routine cleaning. A professional house cleaning will give you the base clean you need to allow time for organizing projects.” To read the entire article click here.

According to an article at huffingtonpost.com, “Mattress Cleaning Tips”

“Make sure your mattress is properly supported.

While you may not always need to purchase the matching box spring or foundation with a new mattress, it is essential to make sure your mattress does have the right kind of support. This helps preserve the integrity of materials and prevent early wear.

Check with the manufacturer or look at the warranty policy for recommendations. Box springs are generally used only with spring mattresses, while memory foam and other specialty mattresses usually require firm, solid support.

Beds that use a frame should be designed to support the weight of sleepers and the mattress, and queens and kings should have center support bars. Platform beds with wide slats may need extra support depending on mattress type and weight.

It’s a smart idea to check on your bed’s support every year or so to make sure there are no broken slats or springs that could affect your mattress.

2. Use a mattress protector from the beginning.

We’ve covered the benefits of mattress protectors before, and they are one of the best and simplest ways to protect your bed’s longevity.

A good, quality mattress protector offers waterproof protection to guard against spills and accidents, and they also reduce the amount of dust, debris and dirt that make it into your bed.

This helps protect the materials inside your bed from damage, keeps skin oils and sweat off the bed and reduces build up of allergens like mold and dust mites. A protector also makes cleanups a snap when accidents do happen, and many newer types feel just as comfortable as a fitted sheet.

3. Wash bed linens regularly.

When you sleep, you shed sweat, oils, hair and skin cells. Eating in bed also leaves behind crumbs, and pets can track in all sorts of things. In addition to getting yucky, all of this can get into mattress layers, breeding bacteria and encouraging dust mites.

Bed sheets and blankets should ideally be washed every week to every two weeks according to most cleaning experts. Even when using a mattress protector, it’s still important to keep linens clean. The mattress protector should also be washed occasionally according to a manufacturer’s directions.” To read the entire article click here.

According to an article at popsugar.com, “Clutter free Home”

“1. Create a Positive Purpose

I’m a big believer in the power of positive thinking. When it comes to staving off anxiety when trying to get organized, your mindset can make or break you. Trust me, I’ve experienced this first hand. I used to take one look at my cluttered closet with clothes haphazardly thrown in and think, “You’ve really screwed up, buddy. This is going to take you a year to get organized!” The moment that negative seed was planted, I became so panicked that I determined it wasn’t even worth the effort. I set myself up for failure before I even began.

All it took was a little shift in my thinking to get me on the right track to stress-free organization. Now, when I’m ready to tackle a big decluttering project that has the potential to be overwhelming, I start with simply defining why I want to get organized in the first place. I think about how accomplished I’ll feel when I complete it. And most importantly, I remind myself that no one is measuring my progress. If it takes me a few months to get one space organized, who cares? I take all of the pressure off of myself and focus on my why.

2. Make a Plan

Just because you’re in a positive frame of mind doesn’t mean you’re ready to put all of your Target storage containers to use right off the bat. Anxiety is unpredictable, but for me, having a plan in place when I know I’m apt to be stressed is critical. Write down everything in your life you believe would benefit from decluttering. It could be an entire room, a certain drawer or closet, or even something like your email inbox. If it actually worsens your anxiety by being unorganized, it needs to go in the list. Then prioritize. What’s causing you the most turmoil? What can you live with until you can get to is? Once you have your list of most to least important, you can really dig into the details.

For example, if your number one priority is to get your closet organized, list everything you know you will need to make that successful. Do you need to go through clothes to try them and/or donate them? Do you need to get some extra shelving? Do you need to search Pinterest first? Remember, you have no set date of completion, so take some time with this step and get it all down. I prefer to use the old-fashioned pen and paper method to transcribe my plan, but you can use anything your heart desires. Use your iPad, computer, phone, chalkboard, napkin, the arm of a loved one — I don’t freakin’ care! Just make a plan!

3. Set a Time and Stick to It

This is the part where I think people can get the most overwhelmed. Getting started is often the hardest part, so even with a plan, looking at all the tasks that you want to accomplish can be intimidating and anxiety inducing. Start small. Pick a day of the week to start, choose from your #1 Priority Project, and set the timer for a time you feel comfortable with. Even if it’s five minutes, try it and see how you feel. If after five minutes you feel like you can do some more, then do it. Remember, whether you’re taking big bites or small bites, eventually you’re going to finish the whole damn thing. Just commit to starting.” To read the entire article click here.

According to an article at today.com, “How to Clean Your Sheets”

According to an article at care.com, “Cleaning Service Benefits”
“1) Needs

Before you hire anyone, figure out what you want done in your house. Create a list of the things you need cleaned and how often. (Use this cleaning checklist to get you started.) Then make sure whichever option you go with can fulfill those needs. Is the housekeeper capable of washing windows? Will the cleaning service fold your laundry?

2) Money

How much you pay for a cleaning depends on a lot of different factors: where you live, the size of your home, how often you need it cleaned, how much it needs to be cleaned, etc.

“While it might be counter-intuitive, I have found that cleaning services often offer lower across-the-board costs than long-term housekeepers might,” says Beth Alcazar, a mom and cleaning enthusiast, who blogs at the Neat Get Neater. But every situation is different.

3) Time

If you have a tight schedule and need your house cleaned quickly, a company might be more efficient. They often provide a team of cleaners who come in at once to scrub your home all at once.

4) Training

Some housekeepers have been in business for years, but if someone is just starting out, they may not know all the cleaning tricks. When you work with a company, cleaners are usually trained to assure a high standard of efficiency and professionalism. Whoever you work with, make sure you’re happy with the quality of the work. If not, speak up. You’re allowed to ask for something to be re-cleaned.” To read the entire article click here.

According to an article at wonderjanitorialservice.com, “In Need of an Office Cleaning Company?”

“There are multiple reasons to keep your office clean.  Office staff need and deserve to work in a clean environment, and an office’s cleanliness or filthiness reflects a lot about a business.  Business owners have multiple obligations outside of operating a business and most people probably do not understand all of the behind the scenes things a business owner does in order to keep the business operating efficiently.  One way for business owners to focus more on their business is to turn the cleaning duties over to well-respected professional cleaning services.  There are countless benefits of having someone else responsible for cleaning the office, including:

1.Professional cleaning companies are skilled in properly cleaning, dusting, and sanitizing. There is much more to keeping an office clean than simply making sure everything is orderly. These experts know what to do in order to ensure a clean environment.

2.When business owners delegate cleaning duties to office staff, morale can sink.  Office workers do not want to clean the bathroom, empty the trash, dust, etc.  Allow your workers to do what they do best and leave cleaning to the experts.

3. As dust builds, offices can easily become respiratory hazards.  Thorough dusting can help ensure your office space has minimal allergens.

4. Professional cleaning companies can ensure certain products are kept on hand like paper towels in the restroom as well as toilet paper.  Business owners can easily overlook things like this given their other responsibilities.  Office workers, customers/clients, deserve to have everything they need in the restroom.

5. When offices are clean and sanitized, those working in the office are less likely to get sick.  When workers are sick, there is always a loss in production or output.” To read the entire article click here.

Floors: Mix 2 tablespoons of borax with a gallon of warm water for mopping tile or vinyl flooring.
Garbage Disposal: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of borax down the drain, let it sit for fifteen minutes, then run the garbage disposal with hot water.
Dishwasher: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of borax into the bottom of your dishwasher (in addition to your normal dish-washing product). It will clean the dishwasher itself and leave glassware clear and spotless.” To read the entire article.
