How Recurring Home Cleanings Help You Save

You may have already come to the obvious conclusion that having a recurring home cleaning team come to your house to do your cleaning for you opens up your schedule. That’s undoubtedly true. Our teams save our customers hours each week. But have you ever considered what else we help you save? 

We save you the added stress of not just “finding the time” to clean, but coming home to a clean house completely changes the game! Not only are you more relaxed because your house is clean but you even sleep better! That’s right. Studies show that having a clean bedroom not only alleviates stress but helps you relax which translates into better sleep. It makes sense, right? If you aren’t seeing random clothes on the floor next to your bed or dust on the nightstand, your brain isn’t thinking, “Ugh, that’s really dusty or dirty,” or, “Man, I really need to do another load of laundry.” Your brain can truly turn off and you can rest easy. 

More Benefits of a Home Cleaning Service

Besides helping to reduce your mental stress, investing in a recurring home cleaning service can save your body from anxiety as well. Let’s face it: we are all getting older. Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, but concocting your body to reach those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies around your house just does not do your body any favors. Our teams have the special tools to reach ceiling fans, under couches, and small corners throughout the house. Not only will you be relieved that you don’t have to do that extra bending over or extending your back, but those corners will actually get clean on a regular basis. That means less stress on your overall nervous system and immune system, too. Those pesky germs will be wiped away, those dust mites and other allergens will be sucked up by industrial vacuums, and our professional, green products will eliminate bacteria and leave your surfaces clean and sanitized!

Save Your Time and Your Money

Hiring a professional cleaning service like My Amazing Maid will save you time and help alleviate stress as well. Instead of worrying about cleaning, you can devote those extra four to five hours a week to yourself, a new hobby, or your family. Our team works thoroughly, but efficiently to bring you the best cleaning experience. 

Initially, you may not think that paying for a service is saving money, but investing in recurring cleans does indeed do just that. You save money on the cleaning products themselves as well as typical repairs that come from wear and tear. With routine home cleanings completed each week or bi-monthly, your surfaces and furniture are staying in great condition. Less dust and debris equals your appliances like the HVAC system also working more efficiently and gives those filters prolonged life as well.

It’s no secret that the holidays are one of the most joyful and, yet, stressful times of the year. As the new year approaches, have you been considering hiring someone to help with recurring home cleaning tasks?

When you choose My Amazing Maid in Columbus, GA for your next home cleaning service, we guarantee our home cleaners work and ensure that every service you purchase will be a detailed-orientated, quality clean.

5 Benefits of Recurring Home Cleaning Service

Don’t take our word for it! Here are several benefits we have researched and heard from our own clients. 

1. Your Satisfaction Guaranteed

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Our employees are fully trained to ensure the highest quality cleaning every time. Choose us because of our reputation for excellence. For more than 10 years, we’ve earned a name for quality and customer service in Columbus, GA, and beyond. The homeowners we serve rely on us for detail-oriented, professional cleaning services, every single time we clean their homes.

2. Scientifically Proven to Reduce Stress

Having a clean house to come home to can make you less irritable and even more relaxed – it’s actually backed by many scientific research studies. Psychological studies show an uncluttered, clean space can help people focus more, feel less depressed, anxious, and help increase calm feelings. If all you see is clutter, your visual cortex becomes overwhelmed. So there’s science behind “out of sight, out of mind.” We’ll keep your home clutter-free, but the benefits don’t end there. While a home cleaning can alleviate your stress it can also provide your family with more time to focus on the other important aspects of life.

3. A Healthier Home For You

After the barrage of respiratory illnesses, endemics, and pandemics, it’s been drilled into us how important it is to eliminate germs. Not just illnesses, but keeping your home free of dust and debris by hiring a recurring cleaning service can keep those allergens at bay! Better air and cleaner air in your home lead to a healthier you. Sanitizing services are our bread and butter, too. My Amazing Maid professionally cleans your home and will ensure your home stands a fighting chance over the next contagion or cold that comes around. 

4. Better Sleep Quality

Next, having certain rooms cleaned can actually do even more for you. In addition to less stress, studies show that having a clean bedroom, specifically, can lead to better sleep, which makes sense. Raise your hand if you often go to bed thinking about all of the things you didn’t accomplish that day or have to do the next. Now, imagine if you see a pile of laundry or pet hair all over the carpet in your bedroom. Folding that laundry and vacuuming just became the latest tasks on that seemingly, never-ending to-do list. That list will become shorter and cleaning that bedroom professionally will lead to better overall sleep quality. You can wake up refreshed and your bedroom will be at least one worry off your list!

5. Premier Cleaning Service

What’s better than having your house cleaned? Having your house deep cleaned! With our Premier Cleaning, My Amazing Maid does a deep cleaning task in your home every month. Not only will your typical recurring cleaning be done, but things like cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, cleaning the inside of your oven, vacuuming upholstery, washing your baseboards, and more will be checked off the list each month. This will save you even more time, so that inside of tackling these extra chores and housekeeping duties on the weekend, you’re free to actually relax. 

Now is truly the perfect time to delegate your home cleaning to the experts. We have packages for most budgets. Since we bring all of our own green cleaning supplies and we’ll keep your house in tip-top shape, you’ll likely be saving money in the long run. Talk about a win-win!

Homeowners are increasingly conscious of the environmental impacts of home cleaning products and supplies. How you clean your home can influence the health of your family and pets, as well as the greater ecosystem. It can be challenging to balance keeping your home clean and being environmentally responsible. At My Amazing Maid, we’ve been emphasizing green cleaning products for many years. Here are a few tips on ways you can maximize cleaning power while minimizing harm to your family and the environment.

#1: Choose Home Cleaning Supplies Without Harsh Chemicals

Whenever possible, opt for cleaning supplies that use natural or gentler alternatives to harsh chemicals. The advantages of skipping the harsh chemicals are many, such as:

• Keeping your family and pets from breathing in or coming into contact with potentially dangerous chemicals
• Avoiding putting harmful chemicals into the environment
• Lessening the risk of damaging home furnishings or finishes with a harsh chemical

There are many products out there that are marketed as being “green” or eco-friendly. At My Amazing Maid, we carefully research products in advance, and we’ve been using a few for many years now. One of our most-used green cleaning products is Biokleen, a general cleaner powered by citrus and grapefruit seed extract. Biokleen is a safe choice for your home and the planet, and it is made right here in the United States. 

We use plant-based products whenever possible, such as vinegar-based rather than ammonia-based glass cleaners. We also use heavily filtered deionized water (DI Water) with high-quality microfiber cloths for many cleaning applications, which allows us to skip the added chemicals while still achieving a great clean. In fact, DI water has been shown by studies to be more effective than many harsh chemicals. We use a powder cleaner called Bon Ami, along with hydrogen peroxide, for many kitchen and bathroom cleaning applications. This green cleaning solution can be just as effective as other abrasives containing bleach, and won’t scratch surfaces. 

#2: Clean With Natural Items From Around the House When Possible

Sometimes you need an extra boost from a commercially available product, like many of the green cleaning options we use at My Amazing Maid. Other times, you can actually accomplish home cleaning tasks with basic, added chemical-free household items.

Be sure to research each individual “cleaning hack” before you try it in your own home. While there are many amazing uses for everyday items like vinegar, baking soda, and citrus, some cleaning tricks get popular on social media or as urban legends without much scientific backing. Usually, there’s not a huge risk to trying DIY natural cleaning ideas, but you want to do your research just in case. While products like vinegar and lemon juice are natural, that doesn’t mean they might not have unexpected effects on your home or furniture. In some cases, you might even accidentally combine items that could produce a dangerous result (or at least damage your granite countertops). 

If you don’t have time to do a lot of research and mix up your own products, stick with reputable commercially available green cleaning brands like Biokleen until you can do more investigating.

#3: Choose a Home Cleaning Company That Takes Green Cleaning Seriously

Just because you care about the environment and the safety of your family doesn’t mean you have time to do tons of research before you even get started cleaning. If hiring a home cleaning service is part of your plan, choose a company that prioritizes green cleaning. At My Amazing Maid, eco-friendly cleaning has always been part of our company value system, and we are happy to work with clients to educate them about our products and techniques. 

Whatever home cleaning company you choose to work with, be sure that they are knowledgeable about the individual products that they use, and willing to work on a customized plan for your home. For example, at My Amazing Maid, if we have a client who has ongoing difficulty keeping mold from growing in their bathrooms (a common issue in the South), we will ask if they are comfortable using a bleach-based product, or if they prefer to exclusively use gentler, more natural options.

#4: Use Reusable Home Cleaning Products When Possible

Whenever feasible, try to avoid single-use products. For instance, rather than grabbing a paper towel to wipe up a counter spill, use a reusable cloth and toss it in the wash. Select mops or mop alternatives that have reusable cleaning pads that can be washed and reused many times before replacement. This not only cuts down on trash in the landfill but saves you money in the long run. A single microfiber cleaning cloth could easily be used hundreds of times, if not more before it wears out.

For cleaning applications where you prefer a single-use option, try to look for options that are sustainably sourced, free of harsh chemicals, and biodegradable or recyclable.

#5: Look for Green Cleaning Products That Minimize Bulky Packaging

Another great way to cut down on waste when cleaning is to select home cleaning products that don’t use up as much packaging. The simplest option is to buy bulk concentrate cleaners, either in large jugs or tablet form. Some green-focused companies are now selling cleaners in condensed tablets. You buy a spray bottle and a package of tablets, and then add a tablet to water to make the cleaning solution. Often the packaging the tablets come in is recyclable or biodegradable, and these companies typically focus on using more natural products. You can also purchase liquid cleaners in bulk. A gallon jug of concentrated cleaning solution could easily save dozens and dozens of plastic bottles if you usually purchase your home cleaning sprays in individual small bottles.

#6: Use Sustainably Sourced Green Cleaning Products

Not all green cleaning products and companies are created equal. Before buying a lot of products from any one company, be sure to look into how the company sources its raw materials and manufactures the final product. Higher-quality solutions can be expensive, but there are many companies out there that offer quality products at reasonable prices, particularly if you are able to purchase them in bulk. 

#7: Ask Questions About Cleaning Products and Services

When in doubt about a green cleaning product or service, ask! A quality cleaning service or green cleaning product company will welcome your questions and be happy to help you learn more about cleaning your home in a safe, environmentally friendly way. Reputable companies that stand behind their products and approaches are transparent about their ingredients and processes, and willing to help customers learn more.

Questions? My Amazing Maid is Here to Help

At My Amazing Maid, we place a strong emphasis on transparency with clients and are always ready to answer your questions so you know exactly what happens in your home every time we visit.

You put a lot of effort into keeping your home sparkling clean. There’s no denying that home cleaning is a lot of work, so you want to ensure that you are making your efforts as efficient as possible. At My Amazing Maid, we know a thing or two about home cleaning, and we want to help you avoid these five common cleaning mistakes that can prevent your home from being the clean, serene retreat that you want.

Cleaning Mistake #1: Not Cleaning Your Cleaning Supplies

Your trusty cleaning tools need cleaning too, from humble basics like rags and mops to that fancy high-end vacuum with three dozen attachments. 

The safest bet is to wash delicate cleaning items like rags and to clean cloths after each use. Empty vacuum containers promptly, and make sure to check that the filter is not clogged up when you are emptying the canister.

While disposable items do offer convenience, some people prefer to avoid the household waste of some disposable cleaning products. You may be thinking it’s time to trade in your old-fashioned rope mop for a disposable version, you can also find mops with lightweight, microfiber attachments that can be removed and tossed in the wash after each use. 

If you go with disposable products such as Swiffers, check the instructions for replacement, and don’t use a disposable cleaning wipe for more than one task. For reusables, check the instructions on the product, and err on the side of washing more often.

Cleaning Mistake #2: Not Researching Your Home Cleaning Products in Advance

If you find yourself often haphazardly grabbing spray bottles at the store, with just a cursory glance at the label, make a note to do some research before your next supply run. There is a myriad of cleaning products available, and using the wrong tool or spray for the task can prevent your home from being as clean as you would like. 

Plus, if you are going to be using a home cleaning product in your home, you want to know what is going into it, and that it is safe for your home and family. At My Amazing Maid, we use high-end green products from Biokleen. We value home cleaning products that are safe for use around kids and pets, as well as biodegradable. 

Mistake #3: Not Tidying Up Before Cleaning

Especially if you are in a hurry, it can be tempting to bust out the microfiber cloths and the vacuum and start attacking the closest surfaces. But if you want to maximize your time and get your home really clean, it’s important to straighten up a bit before you start cleaning. Your home doesn’t have to be completely free of clutter to be clean, but do take a few minutes per room to corral shoes, toys, clothes, fitness equipment, etc. Before you vacuum, clear off the rug. Before you wipe the kitchen counter, stow cereal boxes in the cabinet and put the mail in the office. 

Your home doesn’t have to look like Martha Stewart just came through to help you stage it, but if most surfaces are reasonably free of piles of stuff, it will be much easier (and faster) to get them clean. A few minutes of tidying up will save you time on moving things out of the way to vacuum or dust.

Mistake #4: Not Having a Rotation of Home Cleaning Tasks

Whether you are a hyper-organized spreadsheet aficionado or an easygoing free spirit, it’s a good idea to jot down a list of semi-regular or occasional tasks and break them up into a rotation. For instance, if you do a weekly home cleaning on Saturdays, you probably don’t plan to wipe down your baseboards and door frames every week. Plenty of cleaning tasks can be done occasionally, like deep cleaning the fridge or upholstery. 

If you neglect these periodic tasks during regular cleaning time, they tend to pile up. Avoid having a huge list of large home cleaning tasks by making a schedule. Maybe you do baseboards in January, upholstery in February, and deep clean the oven in March. It doesn’t matter how you structure the tasks, so long as you break them up into manageable pieces.

This is the approach we take with our Premier Cleaning Service. Thanks to a structured rotation of deep cleaning tasks, your home never gets to the point of really needing an annual deep clean, because our staff continuously cleans those forgotten areas throughout the year.

Mistake #5: Not Cleaning From the Top Down

When cleaning, always remind yourself to start high and work your way downward. For instance, don’t sweep your kitchen before you wipe down the counters, or you will find yourself with a dirty floor all over again. 

If you are cleaning your living room, dust before you vacuum, and you’ll catch more of the loose dust as you vacuum. If you’re working on a tub or shower, start at the top and work your way down, so drips from above don’t make the lower parts of the tub or shower dirty again.

The kitchen is the heart and hub of every home but also where many of the dirtiest messes happen, especially with children. If you’re looking for helpful tips to make your kitchen shine, check out these eight tips from the cleaning pros at My Amazing Maid.

My Amazing Maid is located in Columbus, Georgia but serves many locations around the Chattahoochee Valley and beyond. We have years of professional home cleaning experience and want to help you manage a clean kitchen and home whether it’s in between your recurring house cleans or you’re checking out local cleaning companies in the area. 

Keep Your Kitchen Clean With These Tips

With summer coming to an end and back-to-school ramping up we have some professional kitchen cleaning tips to help you around the house. Here are 8 tips for you!

1. Clean As You Go – When making meals and snacks in your kitchen, try cleaning up the dishes and pots as you go. Instead of making a pile of dishes to not look forward to at the end of meal prep or in the evening. 

2. Start From Top To Bottom – Professional cleanings often use this method for home cleanings and it’s a great rule of thumb to practice in your kitchen too. Start by wiping down the tops of cabinets and surfaces, move to the bottom cabinets and oven/dishwasher, and save the floors and baseboards for the last step.

3. Make A Plan – While every room in your house needs attention, the kitchen is a high-traffic area. Make a plan to clean a certain area in the kitchen each day to break down the work. Adding your children or other family members to the tasks may make the process go even easier.

4. Try Baking Soda – If you struggle with messes and stains in your kitchen, but don’t want to use harsh chemicals around your pets and children then baking soda is a total lifesaver and non-toxic. It’s perfect for cleaning kitchen messes and grease from a range of surfaces including your stovetop, countertops, and even floors. Here is a quick recipe: Mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda per 1 cup of water. Keep in a spray bottle and can be used throughout your home, not just in the kitchen.

5. Vinegar & Lemon Juice – Whether you are trying to cut back on the cost of expensive cleaning products or looking to switch to less harmful ingredients in your kitchen, vinegar and lemon juice are the dynamic duo of a clean kitchen. Add 1/2 a cup of vinegar with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and mix them with 1/2 cup of water – this mixture provides a nice fragrance, is cost-effective, and deep-cleans your kitchen like no other.

6. Replace Your Sponges Often – The CDC recommends you replace your kitchen sponges every two weeks. This will cut down on grease and germs spreading throughout your kitchen and keep your family safe. If you are looking for cost-effective alternatives consider reusable sponges that can be thrown in with the laundry and sanitized for repeat use. 

7. Choose A Recurring Cleaning Plan – Whether you already have a scheduled house cleaning service or are considering professional cleaning for your home or business, a recurring weekly or monthly cleaning can add a sense of ease to your everyday life. Knowing that the cleaning pros are coming can also help you plan your weekly and monthly routine. 

8. Call My Amazing Maid! – Looking for a trusted and professional cleaning service can be stressful. My Amazing Maid is a part of your local community and our maid services have been trusted for years. Get an extra hand around the house to help with your home cleaning.

With school out now (or soon for some), it’s time to get into the summer routine– and that includes cleaning! You’re probably ready to get the house in great shape for those summer activities and fun, be it the in-laws dropping by or the kids down the street dropping in without notice, summer is a chaotic time, and keeping your house clean can help you stay sane. 

It’s not a task to tackle alone though; if you have kids, it’s time to put them to work. Here are five home cleaning tips to help get your kids involved with summer cleaning. Just remember to give children age-appropriate tasks and safe cleaning supplies– even if it’s just a spray bottle with water. If they’re really fantastic, they could even pretend to be their own cleaning service– one can dream, right?

Tips to Get the Kids Involved with Cleaning

1. Make them a personal cleaning kit! This would be a great art project and a fun way to kick off summer cleaning. Grab a blank apron and fabric markers or you could even tie-dye a shirt. Label a “special cleaning bucket,” let them decorate it, and give each kid their own tools to tackle the jobs you want them to do this summer. Toss in a mask and cape, and you can be Super Cleaners with special superpowers, too! Plus, everything is more fun in a mask and cape– we’re even thinking about donning them for our own home cleaning service here in Columbus, GA. 
2. Turn it into a game! Give your kids an empty laundry basket to fill with clothes, toys, or whatever is cluttering the floor. Want a friendly challenge? Make it a competition between your children or have them compete against you! Want to make it even more exciting? Add a timer. See how many toys or articles of dirty laundry get picked up in two minutes or ten. Whatever is your biggest chore to tackle in the morning or whatever will help you get your home clean or more organized, time that activity. You may even benefit from this as well. Don’t have an hour to devote to cleaning? Set a timer for 10 minutes and just get done what you can. It might be a nice brain break for you as well.
3. Establish a routine or create a chore chart. While home cleaning is a constant, there are ways to break up your cleaning tasks by day or time, or purpose. Have them check one morning chore off the list, like making their bed or starting a load of laundry, and designate one chore as an afternoon task, like doing dishes or cleaning the kitchen. Delegate jobs to your children and provide an incentive, such as allowance money or a treasure box of small knick-knacks to motivate them. If you have older children or teenagers in the house, have a certain chore or two that must be completed before you give them the WiFi password for the day or let them hang with friends at the pool. Kids crave routine and summer can offset that. Having a list of home cleaning chores or tasks that’s reasonable and fair can help you not only establish a new routine during a somewhat chaotic time, but you can keep your home in great shape at the same time. 
4. Add some music! Create a game with your home cleaning and kick it up a notch with music. Ask your kids to help you create a playlist. We do live in Columbus, GA, so we’re partial to country, but adding some upbeat music or a favorite jam can make your entire family more productive. This can be a game as well. You can intermittently stop the music and have everyone “freeze” in place. Then, start it up again and continue to organize, dust, or vacuum. If you have small children, there are plenty of “Clean Up” songs too that can help with the assistance. Establishing rules is always more helpful and kids remember it when there’s a melody. For example, “one out, one away,” is popular so that kids only have one toy or game out at a time. Once they’re finished, you can start the clean-up mix or simply start singing a song, providing the cue that it’s time to put the game away before they decide to start something else. 
5. Just add water! I don’t know about you, but putting kids in the tub when they were cranky always worked for me. You can have them give their toys a bath, either in the tub or on a water table outside. Those things could use a good disinfecting every once in a while, too. Play “car wash” with your own vehicles or their cars and bikes. Whatever you feel comfortable with them cleaning, they will have an absolute blast. Most littles just want to help, so toss some bubbles and some sponges in a bucket and let them have at it! Setting up an “assembly line” or stations for multiple children works well, too. Everyone has a designated job to start and then you can change it up!

You’ve decided to hire someone to pick up some of the housework piling up. How do you decide what type of home cleaning services you need? 

With so many options offered by numerous companies, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed with the variety of options. We’ve put together a list of the basic factors to consider, so you can make the best choice for yourself and your home.

What is Your Budget for Cleaning?

First, determine how much you are willing and able to spend on housekeeping services. This will guide you as you sift through your options. 

It’s good if you have some flexibility in your budget. For instance, you may say, “I would like to find cleaning services for X dollars per month, but I’m willing to go as high as Y dollars per month for great service.”

With this mindset, you’ll be prepared to stick to a budget you can afford. However, you’ll also be taking into account that some home cleaning services, while cheaper, are not necessarily a better value for you.

What Type of House Cleaning Services Do You Need?

Next, with a budget determined, you can decide what types of cleaning services you want to shop for. A good idea is to make a list of the household cleaning tasks you would most benefit from outsourcing. 

Think of things that you dread doing or that are often neglected. Try to list them in rough order of preference. Item number one would be something you absolutely want a cleaning company service to take care of for you. The last few items are chores you’d like to pay someone for, but wouldn’t really mind doing yourself if need be.

Then, take a look at the cleaning services that companies in your area are offering. Every company may not offer every single service you’d like, especially if you have a lot of tasks or some unusual items on your list. Or, you may find it cost-prohibitive to pay for all of these services. At this point, go back to your budget and see what you might need to take off your wish list to stay under your budget.

How Often Will You Need Cleaning Services?

The final major factor in picking a home cleaning service package is to decide how frequently you need services. This depends on your lifestyle and what type of home you have.

If you are moving in or out of a home or preparing for a big event, a one-time service might be what you need. 

If you find yourself regularly behind on home cleaning or missing out on other things so you can spend time cleaning your home, you’ll definitely want a recurring home cleaning service. At My Amazing Maid, we offer weekly, biweekly, and monthly options. If you are very short of time, weekly might be the best option, but if you just find yourself a little behind on housework now and then, monthly might be enough.

Of course, the frequency of services will be a significant factor in how much you will need to spend, so keep your budget in mind here.
