Finding A Star in a Home Service Provider

With such a huge array of choices these days of home service providers,  how does one choose the right company for the the job, a “Star” of sorts in the industry that they represent?  Of course it depends on the type of work that needs to be done, however, many of the same important factors will apply.

When searching for the right company:  *Make sure to check the companies ​reputation online​.  Choose sites that you trust such as Yelp, BBB, Home Advisor and even Facebook reviews.  Take a look at how they rate compared to other companies within the same field.

 -Check for​ licensing, bonding and insurance​.  If someone is coming into your home for any type of work, you should make sure that they are qualified and carry the appropriate licensing and insurance for the job.

 -Is the company a member of​ trusted organizations​ in the community?  A good sign of a reputable company is its involvement in the community and in the organizations that require a level of professionalism and accountability.  Some of these types of organizations may be the local Chamber of Commerce, trade organizations, community groups, local and national charitable organizations etc.

 -Does the company in question have​ policies, procedures and training​ for its employees and personnel? If so, you will more likely receive consistent, quality work across the board and be assured that the best practices are being applied to the job.

 -How long has the company been in business? ​Longevity​ often provides stability and offers a sense professionalism.  It allows a company to build a reputation within the community and allows a potential customer the ability to research the history of that company.

 -​Ask a friend​.  Referrals are often an excellent source of information when seeking a qualified service provider.  You can ask them questions about their experience and depending on the type of service, you may even be able to see the work in question.

 -Get a written estimate​ before work begins.  Avoid estimates over the phone and promises without real information.  Most services done in and for your home will require an in person walk through.  Make sure that the company is thorough in their walk through and seems knowledgeable about their area of expertise.

Most importantly, you must ​feel comfortable ​with those you will be hiring to do work in and around your home.  Meet the person who will be your main contact if possible.  Make sure that they are a Star in their field.  Here at Prescott Maid to Order, we offer Stars every day for every job

Get Your Home Ready For Spring

This is the time of year that we start thinking about warmer weather.  There are things that need to be done to prepare your home for the upcoming Spring and Summer.  Spring and Fall are optimum times during the year to take care of several semiannual tasks around the house.

The outside of your home is where you will be spending much of your time as the weather continues to warm up and the leaves start to come back.  Clear gutters and downspouts of debris and leaves that have collected throughout the year.  Consider some new landscape projects, tree planting, designing the garden you’ve always wanted, adding a deck or adding rock landscape.  It’s time to start planning these projects and preparing the ground, clearing out old plants, bushes, trees and weeds to make way for your outdoor dream yard.

Don’t forget the top of your house that protects everything inside.  Inspect the roof for loose, broken or missing shingles or tiles.  You may want to have a professional roofer do an inspection so that you are confident that you are ready for the summer monsoon season.  If you have a wood burning fireplace, this is a good time to have the chimney swept and checked for excessive soot, leaves, bird nests etc.

Windows, windows, windows!  How else to enjoy the outdoors while inside than to have beautiful sparkling clean windows.  Make sure that the window cleaning includes cleaning out the tracks and cleaning the screens.  Look up high and down low. Other interior spring cleaning tasks would include cleaning the fans and light fixtures, getting up and getting all the dust off of those high pot shelves and cleaning doors and door frames. Down low would be cleaning under beds, couches and scrubbing those baseboards that collect so much dust.

Lastly, but very importantly, would be to test all of your emergency systems including fire and smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.  Replace batteries and make sure all systems are clean, charged and in working order.

Hire professionals that are bonded, insured and businesses that are locally owned.  They can make sure the jobs are done correctly and safely, and you can feel good that you are contributing to the health of our Quad City area economy.

We here are Maid to Order hope you have a beautiful and clean spring!!

SHOW THE LOVE – to your home this Valentines Day

So here it is, the month of love.  This Valentines Day month is a good time to show a little love to your home without breaking the budget.  I’m not talking about a renovation project, but rather, lots of little things that you can do to spruce up and “show the love” to your home.  Some of the simplest tasks can make a huge difference in the look and feel in your home and it doesn’t have to be expensive.  Here are a few to consider:

Replace some area rugs, curtains or shower curtain.  It’s easy to change the feel of a room just by changing the color scheme or adding to it.  Change out a rooms curtains or rugs and add in a color or style that is new and fresh.

Use a little scratch cover up or good quality wood oil with appropriate color in it to give your wood furniture a face lift.  Sometimes I forget what a difference it can make

Pay attention to the details like baseboards, window tracks and door frames. Scrub the baseboards and paint if needed.  Clean out the window tracks and clean all the tops and edges of the door frames.

Has it been years since you put those knick knacks up high on the pot shelves?  Maybe it’s time they come down, the pot shelf gets cleaned and new, then clean and updated décor goes up.

Add a little life to your house.  It won’t be long until you can start to plant some outdoor plants but you can plant indoors any time.  Bring in some flowers, fresh cut or potted.  There are particular benefits to having indoor plants and flowers beyond the obvious, including:
Reducing carbon dioxide levels, increasing humidity, reducing levels of certain pollutants, such as benzene and nitrogen dioxide, reducing airborne dust levels, keeping air temperatures down.

Add some new art, change it up, expand your style.  It feels good and different and fresh. For that matter, change up the whole theme if you can.  Without having to renovate, knock out walls or change flooring, a simple change like changing the art style in your house can give it a completely different feel.

Change filters and clean vents.  Filters should be changed out several times during the year.  Pollutants and dust particles collect and get blown back into your environment.  A dusty dirty vent gives an impression of lack of care.

LOVE your home this Valentines Day, show it you care.  Do the little extras and enjoy the new year with a fresh, new, clean perspective.

Prescott Maid to Order provides home cleaning for elderly adults in Prescott

If your aging parents or grandparents are finding that household chores are becoming more and more difficult, you might consider hiring a professional cleaning company. A cleaning service can be invaluable for the elderly, especially for those who live alone, and Prescott Maid to Order provides those professional home cleaning services in Prescott.

For many older people, they lack the mobility, strength, flexibility and stamina to be able to clean their home. Keeping a home clean, presentable and hygienic takes hours a week even for the best of us and can be an insurmountable struggle for someone aging, with physical limitations or chronic health issues. Typically, problems spring up around specific cleaning tasks that involve uncomfortable positions, like bending over a toilet bowl or a dishwasher, or dusting high areas. Tasks that require standing on aging hip and knee joints, like vacuuming the carpet or sweeping kitchen floors, are also very difficult for the elderly.

Advantages for Professional Cleaning Services for the Elderly
 
Hiring a professional home cleaning service for your aging parents or family members can make a big difference.

• Professional cleaners will ensure that your elderly parents or grandparents won’t be at risk of a dangerous fall or hurting themselves trying to keep their home clean. 

• Hiring a professional service also prevents the elderly from living in a home that is unsafe and unhygienic.

Sometimes the homes of elderly people are not as clean as they would prefer solely because of inability. It can be very difficult to let people know that they need help. If you have a family member or friend whose home is not up to what you know are their usual pristine standards, they might simply be unable to do all that they want to do.

Prescott Maid to Order can help. We can arrange a one-time thorough cleaning or create a schedule that is tailor-made to keep your Prescott home clean, comfortable and safe. For more information call us today at 928-899-8518. Learn more at http://www.prescottmaidtoorder.com.

Prescott Maid to Order shares tips for bathroom cleaning at your Prescott home - Part 2

Ready to make cleaning the bathrooms in your Prescott home a little easier? Prescott Maid to Order offers several quick, inexpensive tips to make this dreaded task a breeze.

Dirty Grout
To restore the white grout in your bathroom tile to its original color, apply a paste of three-fourths cup of baking soda with one-fourth cup of bleach to the grout and let it sit for 30 minutes. Remove using a scrubbing brush to reveal your newly-restored grout.

Stained Marble
Before you try this tip, make sure to test an unnoticeable area first. Surface stains on marble can be removed by placing a paper towel dampened with bleach with a cup covering it on the stained area. Leave overnight; the stain should be gone by morning. Then rinse well with water.

Clear Mirror
To prevent your mirror from fogging up during a shower, just rub a bar of soap on it and use a cloth to gently rub it in.

Make the Bathtub Shine
Combine a half-cup of vinegar, a cup of rubbing alcohol, and a quarter-cup of water. Fill the tub with four quarts of water, add the vinegar/alcohol mixture, and let it sit for 15 minutes. Your tub will look like it’s been scrubbed!

Bathroom Drain
When your drain gets clogged, try dropping several Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by one cup of distilled vinegar. Wait about 10 minutes, then wash it all down with boiling water and the blockage should disappear.

Plastic Toys
To clean your children's plastic toys, just soak them in some white vinegar and warm water. (one-half cup for every gallon of water) Be sure to rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Everybody appreciates a clean home, especially a clean bathroom, and Prescott Maid to Order reminds you that we LOVE to help! Our focus is providing personalized care and attention to every home.

Prescott Maid to Order shares tips for bathroom cleaning at your Prescott home - Part 1

Who wants to clean the bathroom in your Prescott home? Seriously. You may love it when it's done but no one (do they?) thinks it's a joy to clean. Cleaning it is a complete must, but that doesn't mean it can't be made a lot easier. Try these tips on bathroom cleaning from Prescott Maid to Order to see for yourself.

Use mouthwash to clean the toilet bowl.
Pour a quarter cup of your favorite blue mouthwash into the toilet and let it sit for 30 to 45 minutes then scrub and flush. All done.

Use a lemon to remove water spots.
It’s surprisingly simple and cheap to get rid of water spots. Rub a cut lemon over your spotted chrome fixtures and those bothersome spots should disappear instantly. All done.

Put your toothbrush holder in your dishwasher.
Holder, not toothbrush! Toothbrush holders can get disgusting. To get yours completely clean all you have to do is throw it in the dishwasher. All done.

Use nail polish to prevent rust.
Any metal cans that sit on your counter or inside your shower have a tendency to rust. To prevent rust, just paint a couple of coats of clear nail polish around the metal rims and voila! Problem solved.

Soak your shower head.
To remove hard water residue and bring new life to your shower head, just remove the head and let soak in a bowl or plastic bag full of vinegar for a few hours. All done.

Use Rain-X.
Rain-X is meant to keep windshields clear during heavy storms but it works surprisingly well on your glass shower doors to prevent water droplets from drying on the glass.

If these tips didn't do enough to convince you that cleaning the bathroom can be fast and easy, then call the Prescott home cleaning experts at Prescott Maid to Order.

Prescott Maid to Order shares what to clean before the new tenants move into your Prescott rental home

It is a no-brainer that tenants care about the condition of the property they are going to be renting. Prescott Maid to Order provides some tips on the most important areas to clean before the new tenants move into your Prescott rental home.

All tenants want to rent a property that is clean. Landlords often find it very challenging to have proper cleaning done after a tenant moves out. There is a need for quick turnaround to get the property ready to put on the rental market.

Many tenants do clean before they leave a property in order to get a full refund of their security deposit. Those kinds of tenants are valuable to a landlord since their willingness to clean the rental will shorten the turnover time process. Yet, there will still be some cleaning that the landlord will be responsible for.

There are two options whereby landlords can take care of this:

• Doing the cleaning themselves. If owners clean the property themselves, that gives them the assurances needed that the property will be cleaned to their standard.

• Hiring a company. If a landlord hires a professional cleaning company, these items should always be included in the cleaning agenda: bathrooms (including toilets and tubs), living rooms, walls, windows (interior and exterior), furniture, rugs and curtains.

Prescott Maid to Order offers expert cleaning of rental homes and private residences in Prescott! We clean to your specifications, as much or as little as you decide. We provide outstanding customer service, and that is what Prescott residents have come to expect from us.

Prescott Maid to Order offers tips on how to keep your Prescott home with pets clean

With your pets running around all the time, how do you keep your house clean? Many homeowners ask the same thing! Prescott Maid to Order shares these tips on how to keep your Prescott home with pets clean.

Pets are a part of the family, and we love them so. But with our furry friends running throughout the house, it can be a real challenge to keep your home clean and fresh-looking every day. Here are some tips:

• Clean pets result in a clean house. This is rule number one! Give your pets regular baths, clean their paws after they have been outside, and yes, wipe their bums when needed. (Most of them don’t use toilet paper!) Also, be sure to groom your pets regularly to prevent them from shedding everywhere.
• Keep your pets’ eating areas and dishes clean - every day, always. This is actually essential for the health of your pets. Their food and water bowls are a breeding ground for bacteria.
• Provide an old blanket or a towel on the favorite napping spot of your pets. Then, just regularly run them through the washer and dryer. This will prevent a lot of extra shed fur from getting into the rest of your home.
• Vacuum every day - even twice a day, depending on the number of pets.
• Consider having your home cleaned regularly by Prescott Maid to Order. We love pets and are experts at cleaning the homes in which they live!

We hope you have enjoyed these tips on how to keep your Prescott home with pets clean. We want to keep you and your pets happy!

The junipers are just the beginning. When allergy season starts, your home may be the only respite you have. Your home may need more focus on vacuuming and dusting, or you may need to use certain products.

Or maybe you are most concerned about your home’s effect on the environment. We can work with you to make sure we are only using products that are certifiably clean in every way.

Prescott Maid to Order: Why you should hire a professional house cleaning service for your Prescott home - Part 2

Still not convinced you should hire a professional cleaning service for your Prescott home?  Prescott Maid to Order has more reasons you need this.

The floors. All of the dirt eventually ends up on the floor. No matter the floor type, all floors should be thoroughly cleaned every two weeks or that dirt starts to settle in for good. Are you really going to do that deep clean every other week? The pros will.

A better job. Don’t take this the wrong way, but we all learn to ignore our own dirt. The pros look at your home the way your guests look at it - and make sure it’s up to par. We should probably talk about procrastination at some point too, but it can wait a bit longer.

You’ll love your home even more. You know how a sandwich always tastes better when someone else makes it? Your home is the same way. Instead of your home being an endless list of chores always staring you down, let your home be a sanctuary from your To-Do list.

You’ll have more time. Time is the great equalizer. We all have the same amount every day and we are all about an hour short of what we need. So hire a pro to get things done while you’re doing all that other stuff, so when you come home you can finally be DONE.

Time is money. Yes, you can clean your own home. And maybe you even have the time to do it. But a professional cleaner is much more affordable than you’d think. Instead of thinking of what you’re paying for the service, think about what that money is actually buying you: more time with your friends and family, more time for your hobbies and fun activities. You’re not just buying a cleaning service, you’re buying a better experience of life.

Prescott Maid to Order wants to help you live a better life. Find out how we can help you enjoy the good stuff while we take care of the grimy stuff.

Prescott Maid to Order: Why you should hire a professional house cleaning service for your Prescott home - Part 1

Housekeepers are something only snobby rich people have. Or are they? The truth is, a housekeeping service is more affordable than you might think and is no different than paying for someone to cook your meals at a restaurant or change your oil. Someone is happy to have the work and you don’t have to do it. It’s a win for everyone! Prescott Maid to Order explains why you should hire a professional house cleaning service to care for your Prescott home.

Here are some great reasons you should use a professional home cleaning service:

The cleaning supplies 
You can clean your bathroom with an all-in-one cleaner, but if you want to do it right, you’re going to need more than that. Window solution, tile cleaner, toilet cleaner and a grout cleaner. Have you ever seen a housekeeper’s cleaning tray? It’s full of cleaners and cleaning tools for a reason. Professionals know how to get things really clean.

Baseboards
Have you looked at your baseboards recently? Baseboards are where all the hair, dust, scuff marks and whatever the vacuum decided to push out of the way lives. They aren’t hard to clean, but they require a wet cloth and crawling on your hands and knees. Why would you want to do that yourself?

Dusting 
Everything in your home has a surface that is collecting dust constantly. A feather duster is easy and kind of fun to use, but unless you are lifting everything up and moving everything out of the way then you aren’t getting anything clean. And let’s not even mention what’s collecting under the fridge and behind your dryer. Hire a professional and never wrestle a dust bunny again.

Knobs, handles and switches 
Do you even realize these items need to be cleaned? Everyone opens the doors and everyone turns on the lights. Someone should clean up after them, and that someone doesn’t need to be you.

The bathroom
Honestly, this should be a no brainer. But just in case you aren’t aware, your bathroom needs to be cleaned at least weekly. And bathrooms don’t lend themselves to easy access. Ever try to reach that spot behind the toilet? The dirt does. And so do the professionals. They can handle soap scum, mildew, and that weird coloring on the tile in the corner. 

Just imagine how much time you’ll save and how good it feels to live in a clean space.  A professional home cleaning service will improve your life in so many ways. Prescott Maid to Order is the choice for professional cleaning of your Prescott home. Call us today at 928-899-8518 and find out how much easier your life can be.

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 discusses keeping cobwebs out of your Prescott home

As the seasons get hotter here in Arizona, the dust starts to pick up in our homes. Cobwebs are even more apparent once the dust and debris from outside get caught in them. The little “presents” spiders leave behind are not only unpleasant but harbor allergens harmful to you and your family. Prescott Maid to Order discusses how to keep cobwebs out of your Prescott home.

The importance of dusting regularly
Once a spider dies or finds a new home, it leaves it’s sticky web behind for new neighbors (dust, dirt, allergens, etc.) to move in. It’s free real estate for these small particles unless you dust regularly.

Dusting is extremely important if you want to keep your household healthy, but that can be hard to keep up with. When dusting, start from the top-most parts of your house, like the ceiling fans, the edges where the ceiling and walls meet, and any high ledges. Then, work your way down to the lower areas, from window blinds to baseboards. Make sure to clean the air conditioning vents as well, since they are responsible for circulating the air (and dust particles) around your home.

How to prevent cobwebs
Since spiders are the source of cobwebs, preventing their existence in your house is key. Here is a good way to keep spiders (and other pests) from making homes in your home:

• Regular cleaning: Vacuuming up webs and spiders eliminates two issues at once.
• Vinegar: Mix water and distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray common culprit areas like window sills, corners, baseboards, and behind couches.
• Pest control: They are experts in keeping the bugs away. A pest control service could come out monthly or every six months (depending on your needs for pest prevention) and spray the border of your house to prevent an invasion.
• Window seals: If windows are properly sealed, they not only stop the little creepy crawlies from getting in, but also keep the cool air inside your home.

Keeping up on dusting is a tedious and time consuming chore, but one that is necessary to prevent cobwebs and the spiders that create them. Hiring a professional cleaning service can help you have a clean and pest-free home while you enjoy more time with your family. Don’t spend any more time cleaning!
