Prescott Maid to Order Talks About What to Expect When Hiring a Local Cleaning Service

Prescott Maid to Order in Prescott knows there is nothing like the sight and smell of a clean house - especially when it’s your house, and you didn’t have to clean it! If hiring a cleaning service is new to you, and you’re not sure what to expect, here are a few services that are generally considered routine.

A thorough cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms

• Vacuuming all through the house
• Mopping floors
• Dusting all surfaces
• Dusting baseboards and light fixtures

More things to think about when hiring a cleaning service include:

• Frequency: When deciding how often and which services you will want to have as your regular cleaning routine, your cleaning company will usually work with you to find a schedule that best suits your needs. You may need only an every other week cleaning, or you may want to limit the service to specific areas or rooms of your home. You may consider a trial run of two to four cleanings if you’re not sure about a long-term commitment.
• Extras: In addition to the routine cleaning listed above, many companies will perform specific projects, such as carpet spot-cleaning, oven cleaning, windows and cleaning inside of cabinets.
• Cost: Before estimating a price, companies will often visit your home to determine your cleaning needs. Prices may vary depending on the size and scope of the work. Be sure to ask whether the cleaners will supply their own products and equipment, and what the price includes. A deep cleaning may be required on the first visit, with subsequent routine visits at a lower price.

Other Questions: It’s a good idea to make a list of questions you have, such as:

• Will the same cleaning person be sent each time?
• What is the company’s policy if something is broken?
• Are background checks on employees conducted?
• What cleaning products will be used?

It’s time to get your home sparkling clean. To get your free quote, contact Prescott Maid to Order, your source for customized cleaning, at 928-899-8518, or visit us at www.prescottmaidtoorder.com.

Prescott Maid to Order suggests these clutter-busting tips for your Prescott home

If having less clutter in your home is one of your New Year’s Resolutions, here are some new habits you can implement to make your home more organized and peaceful with these clutter-busting tips.

Old habit: Draping clothes over a chair or bedroom bench.

New habit: Hang clothes up daily, and toss soiled laundry into the hamper. Resist the temptation to lay clothing over a chair when it takes only a few extra seconds to put away. This will save you time on laundry day, and give you a place to relax that’s visually pleasing.

Old habit: Hanging onto clothing that you haven’t worn for a while.

New habit: Turn all your clothes hangers backwards. As you wear an item, turn the hanger the other way so the clothes you haven’t worn are easy to identify. If you haven’t worn them for a year, consider donating them to a local charity or consigning them. You’ll have a more organized closet and more space for the clothing you do wear. 

Old habit: Buying things you don’t really need just because they’re on sale.New habit: Less is more, and sale items may find their way into a junk drawer or closet. Be selective about the items you buy. It may be more economical in the long run to pay full price for something that you really need, rather than on a sale item that you may use only once.

Old Habit: Boxing up items and placing them in the garage to deal with later.

New Habit: Out of sight is often out of mind. Decide quickly whether or not you need to keep items. If they are keepers, like seasonal decor or sports equipment, clearly mark the storage boxes so items are easy to find when you need them.

Old Habit: Storing leftovers in the refrigerator and forgetting about them until they begin to look like a science project.

New Habit: Set a weekly schedule of checking containers and labels to make sure expired food items are disposed of. You’ll have more room in your refrigerator, and avoid the messy cleanup of those leftover surprises.

When you’re ready for more than just De-cluttering, call Prescott Maid to Order for a customized cleaning at 928-899-8518, or visit us at http://www.prescottmaidtoorder.com.

Prescott Maid To Order Offers Some February Cleaning Tips

Winter cleaning here in the Prescott area is far different than much of the rest of the country. Our mild winter weather, especially this year, may leave us dealing more with dusty homes than rain or snow-related messes. Prescott Maid to Order would like to offer these helpful hints to keep your home safe and clean during the winter months.

Fireplaces and Heating Systems:

• Be sure to schedule annual inspections to insure fireplace vents are clean and don’t pose a fire risk
• Make sure to dispose of fireplace ash in a safe place - only after it is completely cool
• Changing your furnace filters regularly will help keep the dust in the house to a minimum and also will help keep the air in your home more healthy
• Invest in carbon monoxide detection devices and make sure batteries are changed regularly, along with your smoke alarms
• If you need a pilot lit, call your local gas company

Floors and Carpets:

• Place rubberized mats at door entries to prevent slips and falls, as well preventing some of the dirt, leaves, etc. from messing up the house by catching them at the doorway
• If salt gets tracked in, make sure to clean the flooring immediately, especially hardwood floors

February has long been celebrated as a month of romance. A candle light dinner with a glass of wine and a box of chocolates is very romantic, but does bring its own cleaning challenges:

• For candle wax, you can use an orange oil essence cleaner, hot steam, or a plastic putty knife
• Wine stains need a little seltzer water and some stain remover
• Chocolate stains respond well to cold water but may require a stain remover as well
