It’s that beautiful time of year again. The leaves are changing, the weather is colder, and the coffee tastes better than normal. Enjoying the fall season is far more than warm coffee and yellow leaves. Those things wouldn’t mean half as much without an organized, clean house to enjoy them in. Check out these 5 tips for fall house cleaning from the White Glove Maid service to learn the secrets to having a fabulous fall season.

1. Clean out your garage. The weather is finally perfect for you to do a little Saturday morning house work without breaking too much of a sweat. A clean garage will inspire you to keep the rest of your house in better shape. Plus, you won’t be embarrassed if your Thanksgivings guests happen to wander in there.
2. Clean out your fireplace. A warm fire on a cold night makes the holiday season come alive. Take some time to prepare your fireplace for those special evenings by cleaning it out and spiffing it up.
3. Clean out your car. Yeah, we know. The car isn’t a part of the house, but you sure do spend a lot of time in it. Take 15 minutes of your time to swing by car wash this week. Your car will thank you for vacuuming out those year old crumbs and giving your windshield a good wash.
4. Clean off your back porch. Cool weather means delicious dinners on the porch. Theres nothing like a good burger on the grill or steaks on a cool evening. Get your patio in shape for the fall season by sweeping, dusting, and clearing away any clutter.
5. Clean out your gutters and roof top. With all of the leaves falling and rain coming more regularly, your gutter may get a little clogged. Do yourself a favor by cleaning them out before the pile up becomes too much to bare. It has also been said that debris on your roof can cause damage and mold to your shingles.

There are your 5 tips for fall house cleaning! Make this fall season one to remember by getting your house in shape. As we say at The White Glove Maid Service, a clean house makes for a happy family. Check out this article from TLC for more great tips for fall house cleaning.

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.

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.
