My Favorite Cleaning Tips

Through out my time in the cleaning business, I have come across some handy cleaning tips I would like to pass on to you.  I will be adding to this post on a regular basis.  Here are a few tips to get you started:

Replacing your carpet due to serious pet odors?  After the old carpet is removed, mop the floor with bleach to kill the odors that may have gone into the sub-floor.  This will keep the pet odors from reoccurring after the new carpet is put down.

Gum on your carpet?  Take an ice cube and place it for a couple of minutes on the gum to harden it.  Remove the gum with a dull knife. 

Bad stains in your toilet?  Did you know that a pumice stone (which is normally used to help remove dead skin from the hands or feet) will remove the hard water stains in your toilet or sink almost immediately?  Be careful though, if you have fiberglass toilets or sinks, they may be scratched by using the pumice stone.

Still using Windex to clean your windows?  I use Joy dishwashing soap in all my window cleaning and is works amazingly well.  It not only cleans the grease and dirt, it also leaves a nice lemon smell in your home. 

Clearater Window Washing Is Expanding Their Services

My name is Mike Powers and it is not often that you see a 50 something year old man doing residential house cleaning but after a great deal of thought and wonderful feedback from my window washing clients, I have decided to add house cleaning as part of my business.  I have always been a stickler when it comes to cleanliness and I have always been good at keeping things neat, organized and tidy.  Along with my years of experience in commercial cleaning, I am confident my clients will find my work very much to their liking. 

My rate for my cleaning services is $15.00 per hour (two hour minimum) which I believe is very reasonable in today's economy.  I can either provide my own cleaning supplies or use yours, which ever you prefer.  Either way, the rate stays the same.  Since I am use to very physical work in my window washing business, I am certainly not limited to just house cleaning.  If you need your garage cleaned, your basement organized, cleaning up after a party, yard work or any other cleaning service, I am here to help. 

I have 8 or 9 openings available at this time and I suspect they will fill up fast.  If you would like for me to come visit you at your home so we can discuss the best options for your cleaning needs, please email me at clearwatercleaningcompany@gmail.com and we can arrange a time that is best for you.  (Oh, by the way, I am fully insured so you do not have any worries in that department).

Thank you for visiting and I hope to be hearing from you soon,
