Prescott Maid to Order has tips on washing the windows at your Prescott home

Clean windows literally make the difference in how you see the world. Prescott Maid to Order recommends some quick, easy steps to clean the windows in your Prescott home.

Materials

• A soft-bristled brush
• White vinegar or dishwashing liquid
• Bucket
• Large sponges
• Flexible rubber squeegees with extension poles (if necessary)
• Lint-free cloths (anything previously rinsed with fabric softener will streak your windows)
• Rubber gloves
• Straight-edged razor blades
• A sturdy ladder
• Dry towel
• Ammonia-free all-purpose cleaner

Directions

• To avoid water spots, wash the windows when there is no direct sunlight shining on them.
• Remove cobwebs and loose dirt by brushing the sills and frames of with a soft-bristled brush.
• Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar (or a few drops of dishwashing liquid) and hot water.
• Wet (not drench) your sponge with your cleaning solution and wipe the dirt away
• Wet the squeegee blade (a dry one will skip) and starting at the upper corner of the glass draw the squeegee down in one motion and repeat across from one corner to the other. After each stroke wipe the rubber blade with a lint-free cloth.
• Use a towel along the sill to catch drips.
• Draw the squeegee across the bottom of the window to finish it and dry the sill with a clean towel.
• Clean the frames using a dry cloth dampened with an ammonia-free all-purpose cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with a clean, barely-damp cloth to remove the cleaning solution and dry immediately.

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. We are experts in all phases of cleaning, and also provide excellent customer service. Are you ready for some help, one time or on a regular basis?

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. If you have questions about our many services in Prescott, contact us at 928-899-8518 or visit http://www.prescottmaidtoorder.com.
