Appliance Tips: How to Clean Your Refrigerator
How to Clean Your Refrigerator Questions
what do you look for in house cleaning services?
My family and I are in financial mess, and someone had suggested that my husband and I look into cleaning houses. I used to tag along with a family friend who was a professional house keeper, (when I was much younger) but it’s hard remembering what it was people were looking for. I’ve thought about creating packages (basic, premium, deep, etc) with a list of addons (clean refrigerator, sweep porches, clean windows, etc) as well as offering a custom package at an hourly rate. I’m not sure about what rates are nowadays, but I hear the average is around $20/hr. Since my husband and I haven’t done anything like this, we don’t have references… how much should our hourly rate be considering? What are things your house keeper does that you appreciate? Thanks in advance!
1.Be Bonded
2.Clean under things(people hide things(money) to make sure you clean there)
3.Use your own cleaning supplies
4.Empty and take out garbage
5.Don’t leave foot prints on carpet after vacuuming,vacuum in one direction(lines)
6.Wipe walls by light switches and obvious marks
7.Never reorganize any papers,mail,etc…
8.Don’t use phone(except in emergency) or i-pods(etc…) looks unprofessional
Davide your work into two categories
Wet work….
Kitchen;always start at the top.Wipe the cupboards,light fixtures,etc…
Clean the refrigerator,counters,stove,microwave,sink,etc…
Empty the garbage
Sweep and mop the floors
Bathroom;spray the tub and surround,sink and toilet.clean the mirror and wall switch plate.
Wipe the counter,sink.Scrub the tub and surround.(make sure to shine all the faucets)
Scrub the toilet in and out.
Sweep and mop the floor.
Do anything else needed(rehang the towels etc…to make it look nice)
Dry work
Living room/Dinning room,bed rooms
Dust(move stuff),,wipe walls where needed,organize the best you can any mess(clothes/toys),make beds,clean any mirrors,dust nic nacs,light fixtures,clean under furniture(people hide money and little things to make sure you cleaned there,put in a pile close to where you found it).Vacuum in one direction(lines) as you leave the room(leave no foot prints).
Always use separate rags for wet/dry work.Cloth baby diapers are the best thing to use,they leave no lint,easy to keep clean and last a long time.
Do your best not to talk to people while working,try to just get in and out.A lot of time people will be home while you work,always be pleasant but concentrate on getting your work done thoroughly in as short time as you can.
You can do one cleaning(wet or dry) while your husband does the other.Work will get done faster this way)
