Removing cobwebs is a big part of housecleaning I wanted to share an interesting point of view about those little critters who tirelessly decorate the corners and ceilings of our homes with their silky, sticky cobwebs. You must understand that housecleaning is personal. Your home is a place where you spend most of your free time and want to feel comfortable, so naturally a lot of our clients have a  preference or two about how to best clean their house. Most of the time they are your typical instructions, do not use bleach to clean my bathrooms, use only Bar Keeper’s Friend on my stainle ..read more

Cleaning gloves lined with pillow soft and ultra absorbent cotton, with raised pattern non-slip grip for better grip in wet and dry conditions. When cleaning a house, it is essential to equip yourself with the right cleaning tools. Think about it this way, cleaning tools are your weapons. Can you imagine James Bond facing his formidable opponent wielding a mace instead of a discreet, efficient revolver? Using Windex to scrub down a dirty shower is not a good idea and self explanatory. Even the right type of cleaning rags makes a tremendous difference in how quickly and efficiently one cleans ..read more

It’s time to put on the cleaning gloves! Or we can help - call HousekeepersNOW to schedule your after Christmas house cleaning ? Needle alert! For the past week, I’ve been finding tree needles everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Obviously, piles of the stuff under the Christmas tree and all over the floor in the whole house.

It might be time to snap out of the holiday daze and put on the cleaning gloves ?? I believe a thorough ho ..read more

Having your house cleaning scheduled with a two week frequency is probably optimal for most people. To custom tailor your house cleaning, call HousekeepersNow! The #1 rule when it comes to house cleaning frequency is that there is no rule. It all comes down to your personal preferences and lifestyle. Sure, there are some baseline questions that must be asked; how many people live in your home, do you have kids and what ages (obviously, a 3 year old toddler testing if the super long pasta will stick to the patio door will create a tad more cleaning work - LOL), how many hairy pets, etc. And th ..read more

Get rid of dust and negative energy at the same time! I just became fascinated by Feng Shui. Not that I didn’t know it existed but I never particularly delved into this Chinese energy practice. Until now. And boy, the things I’ve learned! So many things are wrong about my house. Too many to list, really. Just to give you an idea: I got rid of all broken clocks (so that’s why I felt stagnating and unable to make a decision), I cleaned and decorated the area by my front door (to attract the good energy my way) and tossed all expired spices/foods (since the kitchen is the center for health and w ..read more

I will admit it, but only to you. I love watching the dating reality television series called “Love is Blind” on Netflix. I know, you are probably thinking, what does “Love is Blind” have to do with house cleaning? But when season’s 4 couple Alexa & Brennon opened up on married life, they uttered a very significant phrase that stuck with me: “Don't let roommate issues become marriage issues.” Understanding the difference between real marriage issues and a neglected house that is easily solved with one phone call struck me as very mature and true of Alexa & Brennon, probably contributi ..read more
