Enjoy Your "Happy" Summer

We'd like to invite you to “Enjoy every day this summer and leave the cleaning to us”.  As the weather turns warmer and we come into “vacation season”, I automatically feel happier.  People are out and about and enjoying our beautiful area.  It is a time when kids are out of school, family often comes to visit or you take that much anticipated vacation.  

Here at our company, we encourage our friends and community to enjoy their season and let the professionals take some of the tasks that they normally do, off their list and lift a weight off their shoulders.  We encourage our employees to be happy and we strive to make our clients happy as well.

I recently came across this list whose author I am not aware of, but is worth passing along:

TEN THINGS HAPPY PEOPLE DON’T DO

1. They don’t worry a lot about what other people think.
2. The don’t waste time doing things they dislike
3. They don’t try to manipulate or change other people
4. They don’t get stuck in the past
5. They don’t obsess over what MIGHT happen in the future
6. They don’t strive to achieve absolute perfection
7. They don’t forget to be thankful
8. They don’t value material possessions over experiences
9. They don’t seek fulfillment in the wrong places
10. They don’t stay in a negative situation long

Why would I include this list in an article about cleaning?  Because many people I run into feel “guilty” if they do something for themselves or accept help.  They may worry about what other people think if they seek help.  They get “stuck” (like in number 4 on the list) not knowing where to start on a project or a move.  It sometimes seems overwhelming when there is a life change like a move or a house sale.  A recent client called when her Aunt had passed and it was now her responsibility to get the house ready to sell.  This was almost more that she was able to comprehend completing because of the condition that the house was in.  After an initial day of cleaning and professional carpet cleaning, she tearfully thanked us for taking some of this huge task off her plate.  What a great feeling to provide a service that contributed to someone's happiness today!

Prescott Maid to Order can help you get ready for summer vacation with cleaning services for your Prescott home

Ironically, getting ready to go on vacation can be really stressful. Aside from figuring out how to not to over pack, Prescott Maid to Order offers these suggestions to help Prescott homeowners leave the house relaxed, worry-free and ready to have some fun.

Clean
No one ever wants to come home from a beautiful, relaxing and fun vacation to a mess. A dirty house is no one's idea of 'welcome home'. It's not necessary to perform a spring cleaning ritual before you leave, but every room should be addressed. Before you leave, clean sinks and toilets, vacuum - and definitely clean out the fridge and toss out any food that could spoil.

Take out the trash
Of course taking out the trash is also a part of cleaning, but is sometimes 'out of sight, out of mind'. Make sure you don't clean out the fridge only to leave spoiling food breeding in a dark can somewhere in your kitchen. Forgetting to take out the trash could mean returning home to ghastly odors and uninvited pests.

Double-check the washer/dryer
In your last minute efforts to get everything in order, don't overlook the washer and dryer.  Before you lock the door behind you, check to make sure you're not leaving a load of wet clothes in the washer or dryer. Mildew is no one's friend.

Check fire hazards
Don't leave the house without unplugging electronics like your computer, router, TVs and any countertop appliances that don't need to be on while you're gone. Not only will you lower the risk of potential electrical fires, but you will also save money on energy costs.

Put lights on timers
Whether your home has a smart lighting system or not, one of the easiest steps to deter a break-in is by using lighting. Use your smart lighting app or plug-in timers throughout your home to vary the lighting every day your way. Putting your lights on timers so that they turn off and turn on various times of the day will make it look like people are actually home.

With a little effort and a little planning, you can go on vacation confident that you have left your Prescott home safe and secure and ready for your return. If you would like Prescott Maid to Order help you get ready to relax and check cleaning off your list of things to do, simply call us today at 928-899-8518.

Prescott Maid to Order answers: Why it's worth it to hire a professional cleaner for your Prescott home

Hiring a professional cleaning company for your home may seem like a luxury to some, but at what real cost? Prescott Maid to Order hopes Prescott homeowners offers some important reasons for having your home professionally cleaned.

Quality of Life
Before you devoted your life to cleaning, straightening, organizing, sorting, moving, polishing, dusting, washing, sweeping, etc., do you remember having a life? Do you remember having fun? Shopping (for fun of course)? Seeing a movie? Expending some energy on a beautiful hike? If your house is consuming you, consider a professional house cleaning service to give you back the life you used to live.

The Tranquility of a Clean Home
There’s nothing more disheartening than coming home to a messy house. It is very difficult to relax when every view is a reminder of what needs to be done. Sometimes all we need is to just get in front of something and then we can keep up. Let a professional house cleaning service get you all caught up so that all you need to do is maintain your freshly cleaned sanctuary.

Take Care of Your Body
Cleaning your home can be a very physically demanding task. Mopping, vacuuming, stooping, bending, moving is strenuous work and deep cleaning a home is even tougher on our back, knees and feet. Let someone else share the load. A professional house cleaning service can take the strain off of you and give your body a chance to rest.

Certainty
Most people don't want to live in a mess but sometimes life has a way of interrupting our plans. Regularly scheduled house cleaning can ensure that you can be certain your home is clean and the sound of your doorbell won't strike terror in your heart at the thought of unexpected guests. When you have your house regularly professionally cleaned, you'll never be embarrassed by soiled toilets or sinks or dirty floors. It's a lot easier to shove a little bit of clutter into a closet then keep a guest waiting at the curb while you scrub the toilet bowl.

Hiring a professional cleaning service could feel like a luxury or an unnecessary expense, but Prescott Maid to Order hopes that you'll consider the cost versus the peace, confidence, lifestyle and health you might be exchanging.
