What is Cleaning for a Reason?

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, local residential cleaning service My Amazing Maid wishes to remind the local community of its standing partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, a non-profit company that connects cancer patients with complimentary home cleaning services. A free service for women undergoing treatment for any type of cancer, Cleaning for a Reason helps to take away the stress of cleaning one’s home through the help of local volunteer cleaning partners, of which My Amazing Maid is one. Proudly serving its local community, My Amazing Maid’s services offered through Cleaning for a Reason allows local patients to focus on their health and feel supported in their time of need. 

We’ve Partnered With ‘Cleaning For A Reason’ to Offer Complimentary Home Cleaning For Women Affected By Cancer.

“My Amazing Maid is a proud partner of Cleaning for a Reason and we hope to help make a difference in the well-being of local women during what can be one of the most challenging times of their lives as they undergo cancer treatment,” said Tamara Ard, Owner of My Amazing Maid. “While the nation honors Breast Cancer Awareness month this October, we too will honor and support women affected by cancer in our community by providing them with the peace of mind that comes from being able to rest in a freshly cleaned and sanitized home environment.”

Summertime is always busy with visitors, barbeques, and family events. Your house may suffer from the extra traffic and company. Additional guests and family can mean your home isn’t at its cleanest and may need some extra scrubbing. 

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.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but May 10 is National Clean Your Room Day! Like most of us, you can probably hear your mom’s voice in your head from childhood. Don’t worry we have you covered, My Amazing Maid is ready to not only clean your room, but the rest of the house too!

It is not certain when National Clean Your Room Day was started, but the first blog post about this day was written back in 2010. That being said, this silly holiday can be a time your family cleans together, redecorates a space, or reminds one another to schedule a deep spring clean from My Amazing Maid!

Here are a few tips from our industry experts on how to keep your room tidy and neat in between our cleaning services.

Keep Your Home Clean In Between Cleaning Services

Often we hear from clients that it is difficult to maintain an orderly home between cleanings. We understand life gets crazy, but here are a few ways you can keep up with the clutter.

1. Put Away Every Night – Every night before bed, attempt to pick up everything that was left out that day. Meaning you can fold blankets on the couch and wipe off counters in the kitchen. Performing little tasks each night make a huge difference. So in the morning when you wake, your home is ready for a new day and you don’t have to deal with yesterday’s mess. Not only is it great to wake up to a clean home, but you could also see improved sleep!
   
   
2. Keep Bathroom Counters Clear – Try putting away all your products on the bathroom counter in a drawer. If you don’t have drawers, another option is putting them away in a storage basket or installing a shelf. Having a clean and clear bathroom counter can immediately make the bathroom look and feel cleaner. An additional bathroom tip (because we know everyone wants a tidier bathroom): can use a mixture of water and vinegar to spray down your shower or tub after each use to prevent soap scum buildup. Walking into a clean bathroom is a great way to start a stress-free morning. You may even get around faster because all of your products will be in place!
   
   
3. Involve the Whole Family – Don’t get stressed out by the kid’s mess. You can make cleaning their rooms a game and ask the kids to help out. Set a timer and whoever wins gets to pick a show that night. The kids have fun and their rooms magically become picked up! Making tidying a family event can relieve the stress of one family member and keep the home even neat and less appealing, even between cleanings.

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.

Cleaning For the Greater Good

My Amazing Maid services is advocating for a safer, healthier home, and a greener Earth by choosing to use green chemicals to clean your home. At My Amazing Maid, we value quality over quantity. Our first order of business is to ensure that we keep you, your family, your pets, and your home safe. This is why we are a proud user of Biokleen.
