Housekeeping Cleaning Services

There are many types of housekeeping cleaning services, including companies, freelancers, maid services and “mother’s helper.” Cleaning services can be residential or commercial, targeting homeowners and businesses, respectively.

Among all these types of housekeeping cleaning services, professional, licensed companies, such as ServiceMaster Clean for residential or domestic cleaning, and commercial cleaning service providers, follow the highest quality standards. When it comes to cleaning services, you want service excellence and reliability.

Residential Cleaning Services versus Commercial Cleaning Services

Residential cleaning services, also called domestic or consumer house cleaning, include window cleaning, housekeeping, carpet cleaning, and others.

Commercial cleaning companies, on the other hand, provide full-range or specific cleaning services for businesses of all sizes. Janitorial services, which come under the umbrella of commercial cleaning, are cleaning and maintenance services offered by professional agencies to big companies or corporations.

Housekeeping Cleaning Services Include:

– Floor and carpet cleaning
– Window cleaning
– Furniture and upholstery cleaning
– Waste disposal
– Pest control
– Building Maintenance

Whether you are a business or homeowner, when you decide to use a house cleaning service, there are many options to choose from. You can hire a particular cleaning service or a professional company providing comprehensive cleaning services. This means that you can delegate part or all of the cleaning to someone else who handles it for you. It all depends on your needs and budget.

However, when it comes to housekeeping cleaning services, you need to keep in mind that not all of them are created equal. You want impeccable reputation and high-quality work. Before you hire any cleaning company, make sure you check their background in the field. It is advisable to work with companies, which employ trained staff, and have an up-to-date license.

Maintain Your Clean Streak: How to Keep Up Your Home Between Cleanings

That feeling. You know the one. The one when you first walk into your home after your cleaning team is done, and all is right with the world. The one with gleaming floors and vacuum lines and the faint smell of… awesome.

And then life happens. And it’s gone.

Since many of our clients are on weekly and bi-weekly cleanings, we want to help you make the most of “the clean between:” the time your house fends for itself in the space between The Maids cleaning visits.

Everything in its place.

We know: Piles happen. Mail, dishes, laundry, kids’ artwork—when things don’t have a specific place, they create one. Before you know it, what once was a massive kitchen countertop for chopping vegetables is now a cluttered heap pushing you to order take-out. Before you set something down on a table or counter, pause. Could it go somewhere else? Do you really need it?

Identify your pain points.

Is there a room that affects the mood of the entire house? Does having a clean kitchen, for instance, make the entire house feel cleaner? If so, focus on the rooms that matter. It may just give you the motivation to extend the clean to other areas.

Divide and conquer.

Cleaning a house in one go creates a great final result, but it’s not always possible for busy people and families. So, break it up. Assign a room on each day and commit to spending only ten minutes to giving it a good cleaning. Why ten minutes? Because it’s short enough to commit to and long enough to put a major dent in dirt. And the good news is, it won’t even take you that long.

Keep floors cleaner longer.

To extend the clean on your floors, vacuum or sweep them daily. Keeping the fine dirt off the floor will prevent from bonding with the moisture in the air and creating the grimy film that eventually lands on every pair of white socks you own. If you do scrub your floors, make sure they are completely dry before anyone—people or pets—walk on them to keep them cleaner longer. 

A little goes a long way.

You know that frantic picking up you do before we come? Try doing it at the end or the beginning of every day. You’ll find that you’ll have less to do each time, and also be more inclined to put things back where they actually belong.

The quicker you put back what you take out, the cleaner your house continues to feel. Of course, the more people in your house who can share in this exercise, the better.
These are just a few ways you can make your professional cleaning last as long as possible. Do you have any other ideas that have worked for you?

And ServiceMaster meet these requirements.

Why Should I Hire a Professional to Do My Tile and Grout Cleaning?

We think of tile as a sturdy, beautiful, long lasting alternative to other flooring, kitchen and bathroom options. And while it’s true that tile adds a strong value and aesthetic to your office, tile and grout cleaning is a laborious task, often best handled by a professional floor cleaner at least once a year. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Grout – It’s Moody

We think of grout as the cement and glue that holds the stones together. In some ways, this is correct, but many people do not realize how susceptible grout is to stains and residue build-up. The most common grout is cement-based, which makes it porous. If your grout is not sufficiently sealed, it is susceptible to liquid penetration and staining. A professional tile and grout cleaning service will re-seal the grout for you with servicing, if necessary.

2. Appearance

Nothing says professional like sparkling tile and clean grout. As residue builds up, it’s often hard to tell how sticky and dirty your tile is, and even when you get on your hands and knees to clean it, the dirt and grime just smears and redistributes. Professional tools and cleaning solutions, which were designed specifically for the task at hand, are capable of breaking through tough stains and buildup. They also ensure that no cleaning solution is left behind, creating another layer of sticky mess that attracts dirt and dust.

3. Cost of Equipment

Industry experts invest in industrial grade steamers and cleaners, specifically designed to clean and reseal tile and grout. At the end of the day, they are the only tools that get the job done right and investing in the same equipment would literally cost thousands of dollars!

4. Time

Getting down on your hands and knees to clean each individual line of grout is a challenge. Not only is it hard on your body, it takes a very long time. For some, time is as valuable as the cost of having a professional come and clean the floors for you. If you or one of your employees throws their back out, the cost, inconvenience and time go up exponentially!

5. Care and Keeping Between Cleanings

After taking a look at your floors, cleaning experts will be able to advise you on the best way to maintain and care for your tile and grout between cleanings. With daily access and experience with thousands of products, there is no one better suited to advise you!

So often, we get hung up on the cost of a service instead of recognizing the long term benefit and cost effectiveness. It’s great to take on your own cleaning projects, and it can be a cost saver, but deep tile and grout cleaning is best left to the experts!
