Find out where the dirtiest places in your home. Discover how My Amazing Maid can help your home be at its best not only this summer but all year long!

5 of the Dirtiest  Spots in Your Home

1. Kitchen Sink – Your kitchen sees a lot! In most homes, it is the epicenter where everyone gathers, eats, and hangs out … but it is also one of the dirtiest spots in your home. The kitchen sink can have more bacteria and germs inside than a bathroom toilet handle, 70,000 times more actually. We take pride in providing your family and home with the best cleaning services in the Columbus, Ga area.

1. Kitchen Sponge – Did you know you are supposed to clean the sponge you may use for cleaning dishes DAILY? According to a study by NSF International Household Germ Study, there are over 321,629,869 microorganisms living in every gram of your used dish sponge. Gross! Try switching to a dish towel that you can throw into the laundry daily after use and kill all the germs without buying costly sponges and causing more waste in landfills.

1. Game Controller – Video game controllers can be an excellent spot for germs to reside. You can protect your family by cleaning them regularly and especially if someone in the home has been sick. Simply remove the batteries from the controller and wipe down with a mixture of water and rubbing alcohol, this will sanitize the controller and prevent the spread of germs.

1. Pet Food Bowl – Did you know yeast and bacteria can live inside your pet’s food bowl? We suggest cleaning the bowls once a week, placing them in the dishwasher is an easy way to sanitize as well (check the manufacturer label to see if bowls are dishwasher safe before cleaning). 

1. Toothbrush Holder – Often the bathroom toilet is thought to be the dirtiest spot in the house, but your toothbrushes and their holder may be worse. Be sure to store your toothbrushes a safe distance away from the toilet to prevent fecal matter particles from spreading through the air. Cleaning your toothbrush holder is very important, try soaking in vinegar for an eco-friendly cleaner and family safe option.

A clean home with children and pets? No, we aren’t joking! But how do you keep your house clean with pets and kids running around leaving messes in their trail? Besides making everyone live outside … we are only somewhat serious about that option. Don’t worry My Amazing Maid is here to the rescue!

We know it’s hard to keep the house clean with a busy schedule, kids, and pets, especially in the summer months. Here are some more reasonable options you can try this summer to keep your home clean from the home cleaning experts.

5 Things Your Family Can Do Keep a Cleaner Home

• Put Items Away After Use – This may seem like a simple tip, but trust us it is a crucial one. We often take things out and don’t put them away after use adults are just as guilty as children on this one. So, try to be a good example and put away items when you are done with them, and ask your children to do the same. This keeps the clutter at a minimum and frees up space for more fun and activities.
  
  
• Set A Timer – Set a timer to pick up the house. Even something as sort as 5-10 minutes of “clean-up” time a few times a week can really be effective and fun for your kids to help with the cleaning of the house. Make it a game with them and for those minutes everyone helps out – picking up toys, wiping the bathroom counters, making beds, taking out the trash, vacuuming, or dusting can be easy tasks kids can help with and gets them involved.
  
  
• Keep Dirty Paws and Shoes Outside – Ask your kids to take off their shoes at the door or in the garage before they enter the main part of your home. As far as your fur family members, keep a clean towel or pet wipes next to the door and wipe their paws and coat before they come inside. This will keep some of the outside dirt where it belongs, outside.
  
  
• Clean Up Messes Quickly – Don’t wait! Accidents happen with children and pets, but waiting to clean up messes can make what was an easy clean up into a more difficult task. We suggest keeping a spray bottle of vinegar and water on hand for quick, eco-friendly cleanup.
  
  
• Call My Amazing Maid – We know all those tips are great but when you really want a fresh and sparkling home you need to call us! We work with your busy schedule and budget to provide your family with the professional cleaning service you know and trust.

Did you know? Everyday household cleaning items can be very harmful to you and your family. However, when you hire My Amazing Maid, you don’t have to worry about potential toxins being a part of your home. Our services value your safety; this is why we choose to do our cleaning with green and eco-friendly products. We use an all-natural choice that keeps your family, pets, and home out of harm’s way — Biokleen. Biokleen is extremely environmentally friendly, and a great green chemical that can be used to protect against germs in your home. These products are safer, more effective, and healthier for the Earth than traditional cleaning chemicals.

In Your Home

While other cleaning products can be harmful, not only to your home but people who live inside or visit the home. My Amazing Maid’s products are not. This is why we choose to clean with green chemicals. The smarter, more beneficial choice.

Instead of using chlorine, ammonia, or formaldehyde, Biokleen uses plant-based ingredients such as Glycerin, chelants, orange oils, grapefruit oils, and many more friendly ingredients! These plant-based ingredients not only assist in cleaning your home, but they also have beneficial side effects. For example, orange oils can help you relax, reduce inflammation, aids in lifting depression, and much more! 

Many people have the perception that green chemicals don’t work or are inferior at cleaning. However, green chemicals have greatly evolved over the years, making them a great way to get the job done!

We want you to be able to focus on the things that you love to do, while we worry about the dirty work. Allow us to clean your home and eliminate the presence of outside toxins in the process.

Earth Friendly Cleaning Products

My Amazing Maid’s services don’t only value how clean your home gets, we also are concerned about how the Earth is affected by our cleaning habits. This is another reason we choose to use Biokleen products. Biokleen puts the Earth’s safety first; they use less water, fewer packaging materials, and less energy. In fact, the energy that is used to manufacture Biokleen products is completely offset through wind power credits and water restoration. Biokleen doesn’t only work to better the planet in your home. They are also advocating for a greener Earth by putting its profits towards reforestation. Biokleen ventured out by planting 12,000 trees in 2017 and will continue to inhabit their plans of reforestation in the years to come.
