Sarah’s Story: House Cleaning and Milk Covered Floors

milk spilling photo

Have you ever had one of those crazy days where everything goes wrong all at once? My friend, Sarah, had one of those days recently when she decided to do some house cleaning.

She’s a young mom of 3 little kids and was scurrying around her house to get things cleaned up. She heard some splashing noises coming from her kitchen and immediately knew what her two year old was up to. She rounded the corner to find that her two year old son decided to pour his milk onto his highchair tray and was using his hands like a high speed windshield wiper to clean it off. She immediately dropped what she was doing to take care of her milk covered floor, walls, window and curtains.

Of course her four year old daughters sees the distress that mommy is in and decides to step in and help. She stands up in her highchair and leans over to “help” mommy wipe little brothers tray off. Her elbow hits her own cup of milk, knocking it off her tray, sending it souring to the floor in slow motion. A milk bomb explodes in the kitchen as it hits the wood floor. There’s nothing left to do except stand there in shock and cry laugh.

5 Brilliant Tips for Keeping Your House Clean this Summer

Lady drinking tea

Summer is here!

The strawberries are juicy, the blueberries are on sale, and the watermelon is irresistibly juicy.

Vacation planning is in full swing as you map out your dream destinations. Everything is falling into place except one thing.

Your house.

Unfortunately, the spiderwebs, dirt, and grease don’t take the summer off.

Staying on top of your house cleaning throughout the summer can be quite the chore. There’s nothing worse than coming home from a relaxing vacation to find your house a wreck.

These 5 tips will help keep your house looking fresh all summer long:

  1. To avoid dish pile-ups, make a habit of loading your dishwasher every night before bed.
  2. Dust makes a house look dirty. Take 10 minutes a day to quickly dust one room in your house. At the end of the week your house will be shining.
  3. A bedroom looks 75% cleaner if the bed is made. Make your bed every morning and your bedroom will instantly look better.
  4. Clutter destroys order. Take a 5 minutes every night to pick up the loose clutter throughout your house. Clean surfaces portray cleanliness.
  5. *Brilliant idea* Have a “time out box” for your kids toys. If they don’t clean up their messes each night before bed, any toy found lying around goes in the “time out box” for one day.

There you have it!

5 simple and brilliant tips for keeping your house clean this summer.

4 Major Benefits of a Spring Cleaning

Clean kitchen

It’s hard to believe that Christmas and New Years are long over and Spring time is just around the corner. Where did the time go?! Since time flies so fast, it’s easy to lose track of things. I know I do. One of the easiest things for me to lose track of is keeping my house clean. I finally decide to lock down and do a deep spring cleaning, and before I know it 4 weeks have passed and my house needs another deep cleaning.

I actually talked to a lady on the phone today who has been planning to clean her house for several weeks…10 weeks to be exact. She didn’t know where the time went since she decided to do a spring cleaning. She finally caved in and decided to do the smartest thing -call a maid service. She called us today and now she is booked for a deep spring cleaning this Friday. The deep dust in her house will finally be removed!

Hiring a company to do a Spring Cleaning is one of the smartest ways to assure your family that it will get done.

Here are four major benefits of a Spring Cleaning:

  1. Say goodbye to dusty baseboards and windowsills. Imagine a house with shiny clean baseboards and windowsills all of the time… not just once a year.
  2. No more hard water and mold in your shower/tub. Image taking a shower without looking at black grout and slimy tile – ever.
  3. A fridge that smells as good as it looks. Picture what it would be like to open up your refrigerator and to find the inside shiny and clean. No more crumbs, spills, and smells.
  4. Your ceiling fans will blow without cobwebs hanging on them. Imagine it – you turn on your fan and it spins swiftly without showcasing your dust.

So what’s keeping your house from looking this good? The White Glove Maid Service offers the perfect solution for a shiny house that makes you look and feel good…all the time. Call us today and ask about our amazing Spring Cleaning.

4 Tips for House Cleaning on the Go

Like most Americans, you probably have a very busy schedule. Finding a long period of time to buckle down and get anything done can be hard. Cleaning your house is no exception. So how does a busy person find extra time to clean their house? These 4 tips for cleaning on go are here to help. Instead of waiting until you have a large chunk of time (who does?), look for small pockets of time to clean as you go.

4 Tips for Cleaning on the Go:

1. Wake up 10 minutes early and use that time to make your bed and remove clutter from your room. A room looks 50% cleaner when the bed is made.

2. Instead of letting the dishes pile up, quickly load them into the dishwasher each morning before you leave the house.

3. Divide your house into 5 sections. Assign one day a week to cleaning that specific section. At the end of each week you will have cleaned your entire house.

4. Keep your cleaning products handy and available at all times. Purchase extra sets of cleaning supplies and rags and keep them hidden in each room. When you have a spare moment, grab your easily accessible supplies and do some quick, light cleaning.

By applying these 4 easy tips, your house will stay clean without having to sacrifice a large chunk of time to do it. For more great tips on Cleaning on the Go, check out this article from TLC. Happy cleaning!
