In todays one minute read I will introduce you to my secret weapon. Vinegar! Did you know that vinegar is one of the safest and least expensive cleaning products you can use in your home. At about four bucks per gallon it can outlast and out preform most cleaners on the market. Really. If you are worried about the safety of your kids or pets and don’t want harsh chemicals in your home use vinegar. Both in my home and at our clients homes, we use it for everything; just like windex was used in my Big Fat Greek Wedding. Seriously, get a spray bottle and fill it half with vinegar and half with water and voila you got yourself a general cleaner, a window cleaner and a bathroom cleaner. Let’s say you need a laundry softener that does not have cancer causing chemicals in it? Use vinegar. Just add it into the laundry softener compartment and watch it work its magic. Worried about the smell? Don’t. Vinegar will do its magic and disappear; like it never happened. Stain remover; you guess it use vinegar. For a more stubborn stain like a water stain for example. Spray the stain with the mixture, let it sit for 10-15 minutes while you catch up on your emails and use a dish brush to scrub the stains off. I hope this opens a new world of opportunities for you to clean your home sparkling clean. If not you can always count on us to do it for you at crmaids.com

Let’s be honest, when was the last time you really cleaned under those hard to reach places? The thought of what has settled in those spaces is a scary thought. Life has changed drastically for most families in 2020 as they juggle hybrid school schedules, home offices, and a new norm. According to the New York Times, “With teachers relegated to computer screens, parents have to play teacher’s aide, hall monitor, counselor and cafeteria worker — all while trying to do their own jobs under extraordinary circumstances.” Many families report using spaces in their home that haven’t been used much in the past and one of the biggest challenges reported by parents everywhere is the time and effort spent in kitchen. Let’s face it , for many of us it feels more like a 24 hour diner. This new norm is exhausting and keeping surfaces clean is hard enough let alone worrying about deep cleaning. According to Google the biggest complaint that customers have about the cleaning services is that they don’t really deep clean. On the surface things are clean, but when you look closer they are not. Sounds familiar? Let me explain why we are different. I created CR maids because I was tired of hiring cleaning companies that did a sub par job and inconsistent work. Coming from a corporate background I know the value of hiring and training skilled employees. At CR maids we believe that things are either clean or dirty and we train each of our employees to clean our way, checking off a list as they go and going the extra mile when they see something that needs more attention. We wet clean every surface we can. Rather than dusting, which really just moves the dust from one place to another, we remove the dust by wet cleaning. We also wash your baseboards, dust your fans, and clean your blinds with every service you book. It’s all part of our “white glove service”. We are obsessed with clean homes and we guarantee our work. Want your home to sparkle? Book online at...
