Prescott Maid to Order can help get your Prescott home ready for holiday guests

Yes, you can have a sparkling clean home without going crazy. Disinfecting the buttons on the TV remote control and your cell phone screen are for true cleaning enthusiasts, but for the rest of us, here are a few tips from Prescott Maid to Order to help get your Prescott home ready for holiday guests, and keep your home bright and clean - and even merry!

1. Scrub the foyer - Wipe down your front entrance door and sweep the doormat clean. Dust any entryway furniture and mop or vacuum the floor to remove any street dirt and dust that may have settled. Since your guests will notice this area first, keeping the foyer clean will guarantee your home makes the best first impression.

2. Concentrate on the kitchen - At some point, everyone heads to the kitchen and in many homes, despite other beautiful rooms, people still seem to gather there. Home is where the food is so be sure your kitchen is appetizing by looking and smelling beautiful. Fine tune your cleaning by dusting light fixtures and flushing drains with boiling hot water.

3. The powder room - Scrub it till it shines. Period.

4. Creating a pleasing aroma around the house - A freshly brewed pot of delicious coffee or a smattering of cinnamon can go a long way to giving your home an inviting aroma. 

5. Treat your garbage disposal with some love - Help cut down on unpleasant odors, simply chop a whole lemon, including the rind, and feed it to your disposal. Hint: Toss in a few ice cubes to help sharpen the blades.

6. Keep it simple and consider one soap for all your needs - Castile soap can be used as a laundry detergent, floor cleaner and even a shampoo.

7. Seeing things clearly - Keep your windows sparkling clean with an affordable and quick mixture of vinegar, water and a simple spray bottle. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down your windows leaving them streak-free.

8. Holiday cooking cleanups - No matter how meticulous you are, stove tops and ovens can't help but get dirty. Make a simple cleaning solution of baking soda and water to scrub off baked-on goo.

Prescott Maid to Order shares about safe, natural cleaning products for your Prescott home

There are many cleaning products on the market, and it’s difficult to tell which are the best and safest to use in your Prescott home. Prescott Maid to Order understands our clients’ concerns about harmful toxins and we have found an abundance of cleaning products that are both natural and highly effective, keeping you and your home safe! Here are some tips that include ways to clean your home safely, using natural products: 

• Baking soda is safe for use and is non-toxic, making it a great cleaning and deodorizing product to keep in your arsenal.
  
• Vinegar can serve as a cheap and effective disinfectant. It’s environmentally friendly and safe for kids and pets!
  
• Lemon has just the right acidity which makes it perfect for cleaning tough messes and for erasing unsavory odors.

Here are a few good tips for using these natural products:

• To clean your microwave: In a microwave-safe container, mix one-half cup of water and one-half cup of distilled white vinegar. Let this mixture reach a rolling boil in the microwave. This both deodorizes the oven and loosens stubborn foods. Use a cloth or sponge to clean away the substances.
  
• To clean your drains: Pour one cup of baking soda down your drain, then one cup of distilled white vinegar, heated. Wait about five minutes before running hot water to clear. This will clean your drains and remove unpleasant odors.
  
• To remove offensive garbage odors: Place one-half cup baking soda at the bottom of your outdoor garbage bins to prevent bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Prescott Maid to Order hopes these tips for safe, natural cleaning products have been helpful. If you want a pristine home for your family and friends but don't have time to clean, call Prescott Maid to Order to arrange a free consultation for cleaning services for your Prescott home.
