Hello All! Thanks for stopping by to read about the best cleaning practices. Our goal today is to give you a few of our favorite and most used practices when we are working on your home or office space, which I believe will help you maintain the cleanliness that you have come to love. We will discuss our top 10 favorite practices, which were all created for the purpose of maintaining the highest standards when it comes to cleaning. We also hope that you feel inclined to contact us and see how we can help you in your job, or even your home! If we don't perform well with these techniques then we know that we are not doing our job correctly and need to go back into training so that any of the issues can be fixed ahead of time. We have been working really hard on building a reputation for ourselves, and want to continue to work hard at keeping it up. Hopefully if you decide to continue to grow with our company, you'll see even greater results then what have already been shown. I'm going to give you a few of the main practices that we follow all the time. Each one is really important and helps us to do our job effectively. We know what results in better cleaning and want to make sure that we are doing everything possible to keep it up. We always make sure to use non-abrasive materials when it comes to cleaning your home or office space, soft cloths and sponges work best. While just using water might seem like a good idea at first, we have found that too much water ends up hurting more then helping our final outcome. This is due to an overwhelming amount of liquid which leads to further mess and ends up taking more time to properly clean. Another cleaning rule we always follow is the "10 second rule", this is when we know that any spill or mess isn't even worth worrying about if it can be cleaned up within 10 seconds. If it takes more than 10 seconds then we know that it will be better to take our time and clean it properly instead of leaving a lot for cleaning later on. We also try to always use the best products out there, ones that won't damage your home while still doing a great job staying clean. We never want to have a client walk into their room and find something damaged from chemicals or materials being used during the cleaning process. These are just some of the basics tips which help us maintain our reputation as one of the top cleaning companies in the Okanagan area! It's important to always keep things clean and organized. It should be a piece of cake with all the technology out there that helps us to stay on time and organized, but if things are not handled correctly then it will not work. When things are already in a somewhat orderly fashion, it makes the general cleaning process much faster. That's why signing up for weekly or semi-weekly cleans are an excellent option to keep your home or office constantly clean! One of the most effective cleaning practices we've found is to always keep a well-stocked cleaning kit handy. Having everything we need available to us when it comes time to clean saves a lot of backtracking, and ensures that our entire space is perfectly clean before we move on to the next task! We also try to stay focused on what needs doing while we're cleaning. You can never do too much at once, but you can easily get distracted trying to do too many things at once! Focusing on the task at hand is essential to ensure it gets as clean as possible, then once it is properly cleaned it is time to go to the next task on the cleaning list. Another key factor to effective cleaning is always being on the lookout. We look for things that might need to be cleaned, and areas where there is a high risk of messes occurring. This way we can take care of them in time so that they are not causing any extra work while still performing our job as best as possible! This is also extremely important since Covid, we are always on the lookout for those high touch areas to ensure they are always wiped down so you have the cleanest and most effectively sanitized area! We also try to stay away from conventional cleaning products. The most effective ones tend to do more harm then good, leaving your rooms filled with fumes and sometimes even damaged from how strong they are. They're not worth using at all when something like natural cleaners can work just as well, if not better, then them! Every product out there has a season or two span where it will stop working correctly. Sometimes this happens much faster! This is when it's time to switch over to a new product. We've talked about which cleaning products we find work the best, but it's always important to be on the lookout for those that are inferior products. While most of this article was focused on what we do and how we approach our cleaning process, the last thing we want you to take away from reading this post is that our cleaning team always follows a serious laid out plan to ensure you get the best clean available, every time! If you're worried about not being able to effectively clean your home, or even if you're just looking for more tips on making your general cleaning go fast and easy only takes a little bit of time in research and organization! We hope this helped you learn a bit more about effective cleaning practices and have made things easier for you the next time you clean your home!

We hope to help keep your house or office cleaned and maintained so it's always ready for you and your guests.
