Spring cleaning a kitchen

This is the third in our series of spring cleaning articles. The notion of spring cleaning may be familiar to you, but you might be wondering, “Where do I start?” The one thing you must also remember when it comes to spring cleaning is that you probably are not going to get all of your spring cleaning done in one weekend. As we suggested in earlier articles, it will be far less overwhelming if you tackle your spring cleaning one room at a time.

The first steps for spring cleaning the kitchen are to:

1. remove everything off the counters
2. empty the cabinet and pantry shelves
3. clear out the refrigerator and freezer

The rest of the kitchen

To clean and sharpen your garbage disposal, run baking soda then ice cubes through it as it runs. Then, run through a lemon or lime to freshen it up. Wash down the ceiling, walls, windows, and light fixtures. Mop your floors with a multi-purpose steam cleaner to power away grease, dirt, and more. If you have tile counters, floors, or back splash; revive your dingy grout lines with a grout cleaner that dries rapidly and leaves a uniform grout line.

Spring cleaning maid service for your kids rooms

Start with bedding

To clean the room, there will be plenty of dusting and vacuuming. Keeping the dust and particles out of the air will help get the kids through hay fever season, and will help to create a healthier environment altogether. Take all blankets, sheets, and pillowcases off the bed and run them through the laundry. Vacuum the mattress and under the bed. Vacuum the pillows or buy new ones. Once you have completely cleaned and dusted the room, you can make the bed as the last step.

Organize and clean toys

Pick up all the toys and those that are washable can be placed in a tub of soapy water and scrubbed. Metal and plastic toy that will be damaged by water can be cleaned with a moist towel or disinfectant wipe. Set out 3 boxes labeled:

• Garbage
• Donate
• Keep

Spring cleaning your kids closets

Spring cleaning is a daunting task

Let’s just get it out right now… we always look forward to the results after we have done our spring cleaning, but most of us dread the idea. Spring cleaning is also organizing, and you cannot organize if you are not organized. There is a method to the madness here, and we are starting out with the closets because closets (and their smaller cousins, drawers) seem to become the catch-all for miscellaneous clutter. However, once you have cleaned and organized your closets, you will be less inclined to use them for hiding useless items.

Tips for organizing the kids’ closets

• The coming of spring usually means that the kids will have outgrown many of their clothes. Spring cleaning is the perfect time to sort out clothing that does not fit them anymore.
• Once you have cleaned and dusted the closets, organize it by type of garment, then by color.
• If they are old enough, let your kids help you so that they will understand the system and help to maintain it as you go.
• Decide how many closets you will do in a day and try to have the project complete over one or two weekends.
• Storage boxes are the perfect solution to free up space for summer clothing and paraphernalia.
• Be sure to clean all your winter shoes before putting them away for the rest of the year.
• Remember to donate any children’s shoes that you know will not fit next year.

Germs and small appliances

Proper House cleaning is a top priority; it is the means by which we provide ourselves and our loved ones with a healthy living environment. When we hear the term, “House cleaning”; tasks such as vacuuming, dusting, mopping floors, and cleaning appliances come immediately to mind. When we think of appliances, our first thoughts turn to the refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, and dishwasher. However, it is also important for you to thoroughly clean the smaller ones as well.

Manual and electric can openers

As the name implies, the can opener comes into direct contact with many types of canned foods. Hand held can openers may easily be tossed into a dishwasher for cleaning and sanitation, but electric can openers are rarely washed or sanitized after each use. There are harmful food particles and juices that remain on the can opener which eventually becomes the perfect breeding ground for microorganisms such as mold and harmful bacteria.

Maid services takes care of items we often forget to clean

Cleaning is obvious

We expect maid services to clean those areas of our home that are well-known for harboring dirt and germs such as toilets, sinks, appliances, and the floors; but the top professional maid services in Charlotte also will focus on those less obvious places that can be just as laden with germs. You are probably thinking about areas behind the kitchen appliances, but we are talking about items and surfaces with which we have daily contact and that are the biggest collectors of disease causing germs. Consider the following items:

Simple solutions

Scrubbing surfaces with disinfectant wipes can go a long way in preventing the spread of germs that cause illness.

Professional housecleaning versus maid services

Maid or housecleaner?

Many homeowners make a decision to hire someone for housecleaning services but they are not sure what the difference is between house cleaners and maids. We would like to share our viewpoint to help you as you look at hiring professional cleaning services for your Charlotte home. A housekeeper or maid is responsible for helping out with cleaning and related projects around the house. A maid is an individual who is usually provided by a company or agency. She may also be an independent contractor. Typically, the homeowners provide everything needed for the job.

Professional housecleaners

House cleaning can be performed by an individual, but typically, a team of house cleaners will arrive on a scheduled day and time to perform very specific tasks. Depending upon your contract, you might choose to supply the cleaning products and equipment; or the house cleaning service will have all the cleaning supplies, products, and equipment needed to complete the job.
