Prescott Maid to Order offers green cleaning tips for the floors in your Prescott home

This winter Prescott abounds with snow and ice. To help keep things tidy, Prescott Maid to Order offers green-cleaning tips for the floors in your Prescott home. We LOVE to help! We provide personal care and attention to every home.

Chemical cleaners often have unpleasant odors and unsafe fumes. So during the time when it's too cold to open your windows, it’s important to know how to effectively and safely clean your home’s floors.

Cleaning wood, vinyl and tile floors

Ceramic tile:
After sweeping or vacuuming a tile floor thoroughly it can be easily cleaned with a little warm water. Using a sponge mop is not a good idea since they have a tendency to deposit dirt into the grout lines. Instead, try a microfiber mop. Fill a bucket with warm water and a use a damp microfiber mop to easily and effectively clean your ceramic tile floors.

Hardwood:
Clean your hardwood floors by steeping two teabags in boiling water for a few minutes. Tannic acid contained in the tea will leave a beautiful shine on your floors. Pour the warm, not boiling, tea into a bucket and use a damp, not soaked, soft cloth to wash the floors. You never want to apply too much water to wood floors. You can easily remove any scratches by taking a crayon that matches the color of your floor and simply rub it over the scratch. Afterward, using a blow dryer, heat the scratch where the crayon was used and finish the repair by buffing it with a clean, soft cloth.

Vinyl floors:
Vinyl floors are quickly and easily cleaned by adding Borax to a bucket of warm water and mopping. Follow the directions on the Borax container for the right amount.

Prescott Maid to Order shares tips for garage cleaning for your Prescott home

If you have recently cleaned out your garage, you can be sure that your neighbors will notice. Imagine having the neighbors drive by slowly when your garage door is open, admiring and pointing to your immaculate garage space. With so much more room, you may be tempted to buy another car. Want help for your garage? At Prescott Maid to Order, your local Prescott professional home cleaners, we LOVE to help! We offer personalized care and attention to every home, and offer some smart suggestions for cleaning your garage.

Look at your garage with these three sorting categories in mind:

Keep

• Things that actually work (toss or donate the rest)
• Single sets of tools (there is such a thing as excessive tools)
• Holiday decorations
• Items you have used more than one time in the past year

Donate - Could your church, school, or neighbors benefit from a donation?

• Unused but working sports equipment
• Leftover home improvement materials such as lumber or paint
• Unused lawn care products and equipment

Toss

You can quickly set your toss category of items at your curb or in the weekly trash (if code permits), use a roll-off dumpster, or make a trip to the local dump. Another option, believe it or not, is to post your items on Craigslist. One man's junk is another man's treasure. It's free to list and you can have them pick it up!  And yes, if you have:

• A leftover bag of grout
• A broken refrigerator
• Bicycle with no pedals and two flat tires
• Bins of clothes hoping for your style to return
• And a host of other things that you DO NOT USE, it's time to toss them

A clean garage is a happy garage. If you want to enjoy all the benefits of a happy garage and envious neighbors, but find you don't have the time to clean it yourself, call Prescott Maid to Order. We are Prescott’s professional home cleaners. We LOVE to help! We provide personalized care and attention to every home. For a free estimate, call us today at 928-899-8518.
