How can I deep clean my carpet myself?

Springtime is here, which means it’s time for some deep cleaning! For many of us, that means tackling our carpets. They’re one of the places in our homes that can accumulate the most dirt, dust, and grime. While you could always hire a professional carpet cleaning service, they can be expensive. And let’s be honest—they’re not always as effective as we would like them to be. If you’re looking for a more cost-effective and DIY solution, read on for some tips on how to deep clean your carpet yourself. Vacuum regularly When it comes to deep cleaning your carpet, one of the most important things you can do is vacuum regularly. Vacuuming not only helps to remove surface dirt and dust, but it also helps to loosen deep-seated dirt and grime so that it can be more easily removed during a deep cleaning. For best results, vacuum your carpet at least once a week using a powerful vacuum cleaner with a beater bar or rotary brush attachment. If possible, vacuum in multiple directions to loosen as much dirt as possible. Pay special attention to high-traffic areas and areas where there is visible dirt or staining. Remove stains quickly If you have a stain on your carpet, it’s important to act quickly and remove it as soon as possible. The longer a stain sits on your carpet, the harder it will be to remove. There are a few different methods you can use to remove stains from your carpet. If you have a light-colored carpet, you can try using hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar. For tougher stains, you can use a commercial carpet cleaner or rent a steam cleaner from your local hardware store. If you’re dealing with a fresh stain, start by blotting up as much of the liquid as possible with a clean cloth. Once you’ve removed as much of the liquid as you can, apply your chosen cleaning solution to the stain and use a scrub brush to work it into the carpet. Rinse the area with water and then blot it dry with another clean cloth. For older stains, you may need to repeat this process several times before the stain is completely removed. You may also need to call in professional help if the stain is particularly stubborn. Use a carpet cleaner Carpet cleaners can be rented from most grocery stores. Be sure to read the instructions on the carpet cleaner before using it. Vacuum the entire carpeted area to remove any loose dirt and debris. Pre-treat any heavily soiled areas with a stain remover. Follow the instructions on the carpet cleaner to deep clean your carpets. Hire a professional carpet cleaner If you’re looking for a deep cleaning for your carpets, it’s best to hire a professional carpet cleaner. Professional cleaners have the experience and equipment necessary to thoroughly clean your carpets, and they can usually get the job done more quickly and efficiently than you could on your own. When hiring a professional carpet cleaner, be sure to ask about their experience and what kind of equipment they use. You’ll also want to ask about their cleaning process to make sure it is thorough and will not damage your carpets. If possible, try to get a recommendation from a friend or family member who has used a professional carpet cleaner in the past. Once you’ve found a reputable professional carpet cleaner, schedule an appointment for them to come out and clean your carpets. Be sure to have any areas of concern pointed out beforehand so that they can focus their efforts on those areas. After the cleaning is complete, be sure to vacuum your carpets regularly to keep them looking their best.

Small Daily Tasks to Make Cleaning Manageable

Everyone loves having a clean home but life can often get overwhelming, so you might feel like there is no time to do the things that need to be done at home! Whether you work in or out of the home, there are lots of things to do all the time. And it can be tricky to stay on top of housework. Cleaning the entire home is a really long process but there is a way to make it manageable.  The secret? Start small! There are things that can take 10 minutes or less to do! These tasks won’t make your home 100% clean, but doing them daily helps immensely on the look and feel of your home!  Here are small daily tasks that will make your home look and feel clean!   MAKE THE BED AFTER WAKING UP Make the bed immediately after waking up! It should be the first task you do (and the entire family, too!). Before everyone gets down for breakfast, make it a habit for the entire family to fold their blankets and fix their pillows. It doesn’t take long and will take less than 10 minutes.  To make things easier, simplify your bedding as much as possible! Here’s some things you can do to lessen your to-do list for bed making: Cut out your top sheets and just use a duvet and washable cover. Minimize the number of pillows on your bed, 1-2 pillows per person is more than enough!  Use a large comforter or duvet that you won’t need to tuck in your sheets This task doesn’t only make a big difference in the tidiness of your room, having your bed made also sets you up to feel accomplished throughout the day! At the end of the day, climbing into a made bed makes you feel more relaxed!    A LOAD OF LAUNDRY A DAY KEEPS THE STRESS AWAY Laundry may feel like such a big task at the end of the week, but putting at least one load of laundry in the machine every morning makes this task less overwhelming! Overall, doing laundry takes a lot of effort, but divvy it up into smaller tasks and you’ll be surprised by how quick it can be!  Simply put one load (or as much as you can) in the morning. When you come back from work in the afternoon, you can turn the machine on do other things (or relax!) while it’s running!          CLEAN AS YOU GO It’s good practice to put things back where they should be and this small action really makes the difference between a tidy house and a messy house. It doesn’t take much time to do this, however, it takes a lot of effort especially if you’re a parent working a full-time job. The small things can often get over your head and missed completely. Therefore, it’s not always possible but you should do it when you can!  Here are some examples of small tasks you can accomplish within seconds:  Put your dirty clothes immediately in the laundry Load dirty dishes directly into the dishwasher (instead of just on the counter) Put your shoes and coat away as you come in the door If the whole family can learn this habit, then keeping your home spotless becomes an easy task!    SORT OUT THE MAIL DAILY Mail is one of the biggest contributors to clutter at home, and it can be annoying when you keep receiving tonnes of random flyers and other unnecessary mail at your door.  If you only sort everything out at the end of the week, then it may take you longer (and will require more effort!) to finish this task!  Sorting out the mail daily is the most efficient way to do this! At the end of the day, toss out all flyers, brochures, and anything irrelevant. Keep all important mail together and if you can, pay the bills immediately to get them out of the way.          WIPE YOUR COUNTERS Kitchen and bathroom counters get dirty often due to frequent use, so leaving them for the end of the week lets dirt build up which makes it even harder to clean!  You can start off by wiping your kitchen counters after meals, or at the least after dinner. Once you’ve learned to do this regularly, you can start doing bathroom counters as part of your routine.            WASH THE DISHES Cleaning up after meals is such a dreaded task but in reality, it actually only takes a couple of minutes if done daily!  If you get in the habit of loading the dishwasher after dinner, you’ll realize how much time and energy you’ve just saved by doing that! Have a “no sink” rule for the whole family, and have everyone practice putting their dishes into the dishwasher after meals. Just by doing this, you can already keep your kitchen clean.            DO A QUICK SWEEP Choose a convenient time for you to sweep, either in the morning before you go to work, or at night before going to bed. It doesn’t take long at all!  You can choose to do parts of the home that has the most foot traffic. Your home will feel so much cleaner if you do this routinely.

Moving into a Smaller Home

We all have different reasons for moving into a smaller home – a shift to a minimalist lifestyle, lesser maintenance costs, easier upkeep, etc. – and there are definitely more advantages than disadvantages to doing it.  The biggest challenge, and maybe the first step to some, is the mental adjustment needed in getting used to a smaller space. We’re used to buying and acquiring things to fill up space as opposed to reducing and discarding things to fit into a small home. Filling up space doesn’t require much thinking (it usually just happens) while reducing is strenuous, both physically and mentally, requiring thorough planning to have it done right.  Here is a small guide to make the downsizing journey easier to manage.    START WITH THE OBVIOUS THINGS FIRST The very first thing to do once you’ve mentally adjusted is to get all of your things organized and sort them. Start with the most obvious ones to make the process easier – broken appliances, unused/outdated clothes, unused/damaged books, things that can’t be sold or given away, and anything else that you know has no sentimental or monetary value.           SEARCH FOR SPACE-SAVING TIPS ON THE INTERNET If you’re looking to maximize the space and hope to keep as much of your things as possible, the internet offers multitudes of ways how you’ll be able to achieve this.  There are many blogs and other content on the internet that talk about the best ways to arrange your things in a small space. This will save you time and effort, and lessen your chances of doing things wrong.         TAKE MEASUREMENTS Since you’re being limited to a smaller space, knowing how much you could fit and which things you can bring to your new home will save you a lot of time. This will greatly help with the sorting process as well and anything that won’t fit into the new home will automatically go into the “Discard” group – making it easier for you to decide on which things to let go of.          DONATE AND DISTRIBUTE The best thing to do about items that are undamaged and/or still functional, but won’t be brought into your new home, is to sell them! There’s no better way to let go of things than by exchanging them for money. Additionally, what you earn from having a garage sale may even help you with the costs associated with moving. For things that can’t be sold, you can instead donate these to people who would be very happy to have them. Ask your friends and relatives if any of them would be interested!          INVEST IN SPACE-SAVING/MULTI-PURPOSE FURNITURE Fortunately for you, the minimalist movement has inspired society to innovate on space-saving and multipurpose furniture – chairs that also work as storage, couches that can turn into beds, foldable tables, etc. These would indicate additional costs but if your budget permits, it would greatly help you in managing your new space and let you fit more things in. Additionally, if the new home is yours, install sliding doors! They don’t require the massive floor space that traditional swinging doors do, thus providing more space for your things, and they do not block the doorway so they’re safer as well.        RENT STORAGE AS A LAST RESORT If the moving date is coming close and you still haven’t finished deciding on the items you’ll be discarding/donating, the best solution is to rent a storage unit! This will be a recurring additional cost but it will definitely give you more time to ruminate about what to do with your remaining possessions.            Read our blog on “Decluttering Tips Before Moving House” to help you with organising your things!

What is the Best Method To Clean The Carpet

Homeowners and people who are renting are missing out on some of the best ways to remove dirt and stains from their carpets. Like dry cleaning and wet cleaning, shampoos have been used for years, but now with new innovations like deep cleaning services, carpet care has never been easier. Some methods can be used to clean light stains, while others are more effective at removing tough spots and stubborn, built-up dirt and dust. Steam cleaning is the best way to clean carpets, and it can remove up to 90% of dirt and bacteria. It can also dry quickly which means the carpet will be ready for inspection as soon as possible. Keeping your floors clean and free of dust is a big part of keeping your house comfortable and pleasant. Carpets are one of the most used kinds of flooring, so it’s important to know how to keep them in top condition. Here are a few tips that can help. When should you get your carpet and flooring cleaned? Check out different Carpet Cleaning Services Here are the most popular carpet cleaning options when it comes to your home: ●     To tackle those deep stains, you might want to try hot water extraction or steam cleaning. These techniques use hot water and some pressure to remove dirt and mud from your flooring. Steam can also “fluff up” flattened carpet fibers so that your carpets look and feel fresh. ●     Carpet shampooing is a process somewhat like shampooing hair, but for your carpets. The cleaner will use detergents and lots of water, similar to when you are shampooing your hair. Rotating brushes scrub the detergent into the carpeting and help loosen dirt, grime, and other debris. ●     Using a specialized powder detergent, a rotating brush pushes the powder into the fibers followed by the extraction of dirt. ●     Foam carpet cleaning is often used when a carpet needs extra care. The foam reacts to leftover dirt and begins to bubble, trapping the dirt on top of the foam with expansion. This ensures that you’re getting a deep clean. Steam extraction removes the foam and dirt trapped in it. ●     A bonnet is applied over the vacuum head and is rubbed on the surface of the carpet, while also being able shampoo it and vacuum up all the dirt. Which Is the Best Way to Clean Carpets? There’s isn’t a “best” carpet cleaning method for all types of rugs that address all forms of dirt, stains, etc. The pros and cons differ from method-to-method. Let’s talk about a few common carpet cleaning methods and what they’re best for: Here are some carpet cleaning mistakes to avoid To ensure your carpets are fresh and clean, call a professional carpet cleaning company close by! This company has the tools and expertise to clean tough stains, dirt, and even pet hair – without damaging any carpet or rug fibers. Cleaning the carpets in your home can be time-consuming and is a learning process. Study up these important tips so that you avoid common mistakes!

Happiness Guarantee

All customers want reliability! Especially with cleaning companies, customers want to get the quality that they are paying for – any less than that is a sign to look elsewhere! Of course, cleaning companies always do their best to train their staff to provide the quality that they promise, and most of the time they are able to deliver, but good companies know that there will be moments when expectations are not met, specifically in the cleaning service. This is the reason why “Guarantees” exist! By definition, a “Guarantee” is a promise or assurance made to the clients that customers will get the quality they are paying for but in case they don’t, they can rest assured that they will be provided with a satisfactory solution. Guarantees are a way to let the client know that the company is committed to providing them with the best of their service. The Clean Life cares about how their service affects their clients, so they offer clients a “Happiness Guarantee”, where they return to a client’s home to fix items that are not done to a good standard or are missed entirely – ALL FOR FREE! Terms and Conditions for the “Happiness Guarantee” Clients who fill out our Constructive Feedback form, which we attach to the “How was the clean?” emails, within 48 hours after their scheduled clean and submits photos of the items/areas of concern are able to get a FREE FIX CLEAN. Once the feedback has been reviewed and investigated (usually after a day of receiving it), a team is sent out to do the fix clean. NOTE: This is not available to CAPPED CLEANS. The Clean Life is more than happy to listen to any feedback so we can move forward in a way that is satisfactory and provides a positive outcome for both parties!

Decluttering Tips before Moving House

Moving house can be such a daunting experience for the majority of people, but it can also be a positive experience associated with “moving on to the next chapter”. The moving of items into the next house often is the simple part! What’s challenging is the lengthy process that comes before it. Decluttering. Organizing. And packing. There is a heavy process of sorting things into “what to keep”, “what to donate” and “what to get rid of” before the big event. How many times have you just chucked everything into boxes thinking you’ll deal with it on the other end? Here are a few tips to make your moving-out experience as smooth and as stress-free as possible. START EARLY The most stressful thing about moving out is the forever questioning of “will this be useful or not?” It is a natural part of the process to stress about this question and “um” and “ah” for countless hours. The best way to lessen the amount of stress experienced when moving out is to start early. Don’t leave the decluttering and packing until just a few days before – it will be harder on you and your family. Set a schedule, give yourself goals, WRITE THEM DOWN! and do it in phases until you are ready to move. Have a game plan that you can follow so you can see your progress. Tick things off so you can keep the momentum going. BEGIN WITH THINGS YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT Start packing the things you know you can’t live without at the new house. Ask yourself three basic questions: “Do I use it?” “Do I love it?” and/or “Is it sentimental?” Anything that falls out of these three categories, you can live without. However, for things that you are still using, do not pack them yet. Set them aside somewhere they are easily accessible to you, (while still being separated from everything else) so when it’s time to move, it is easy for you to pack them quickly. GO ROOM BY ROOM To make sure that you leave no stone unturned, go through each room of your home. Start with the rooms that you think are the most difficult! This will ensure that the biggest tasks are out of the way, and you can take your time doing the easier ones. Leave no drawer unchecked and no closet unopened! CLEAR LABELS MATTER It may not feel like it while you’re packing, but once you get settled in your new home, you’ll see that labels are your best friend! Group your things into categories and be sure to label them according to these categories. Have ONE sheet of paper – this will be your master list. For e.g. – books should be put into smaller and more manageable boxes (these are HEAVY). Label the box – number 1. On your master list – write on one line, number 1, and write the things that have gone into each box. This will ensure that during the unpacking process, you’ll be able to know IMMEDIATELY which things are placed in which box and you won’t have to spend too much time thinking about where your things were placed. AND your boxes can be reused for another move. This will make the unpacking process smoother and much easier. It can be overwhelming to think about the moving-in and out process. The longer you have stayed in one home, the more things you will have to pack and organize, and the more stress you may have. It will seem like a daunting task at first but as you go through it, you’ll realize that it doesn’t really take that long (as long as you have a good system in place!). The 4 steps outlined are steps of a simplified process to help you prioritize and follow a system whilst moving out – but there are countless methods and techniques that you could try. Find out which method suits you best and follow the one that gives you the least amount of anxiety. Of course, the best way to lighten your load and your stress when moving out is to have someone help you! If you’re looking for assistance in decluttering and organizing, packing and unpacking, then don’t hesitate to contact The Clean Life. We offer guided appointments, where we work with you to reduce your stress, free you of clutter, and ensure you only take the items you love into the next chapter (saving you money and time)! Discuss with us your requirements about your home here: https://thecleanlife.com.au/book-your-time/ Happy packing!

COVID-Safe Kit

When the World Health Organization officially declared a global pandemic, the public’s expectations of cleanliness drastically changed. It is safe to say that majority, if not all, had stopped cleaning just for appearance. This change also challenged the cleaning industry and called for them to implement new and better cleaning protocols. This was also true for Beckii and The Clean Life. The onset of the pandemic challenged Beckii to think up different ways to ensure the safety of The Clean Life’s clients while improving the standard of cleanliness that they provide to clients’ homes.  One of the ways that Beckii has come up with is the implementation of the COVID-Safe Kit. The COVID-Safe Kit is a cleaning kit containing reusable items that the cleaners use to clean their client’s homes. It contains: 2 grouters; 1 scrubbing brush; 1 squeegee; 9 microfibre cloths; and 1 commercial grade mop head       The COVID-Safe Kit is a unique initiative by Beckii and is the first of its kind in domestic cleaning. The purpose of the kit is mainly to reduce cross-contamination between homes from reusable cleaning equipment. All of the items in the kit are tools that are used to clean the dirtiest parts of a home and have the highest chances of carrying with them germs and bacteria. By keeping these items in the clients’ respective homes, it fully prevents cross-contamination and lessens the risk of cleaners bringing in foreign germs and bacteria from one home to another. The COVID-Safe kits are available for purchase in The Clean Life’s online store for non-clients and are available to clients on their first clean! The clients are given the choice of either purchasing each of the items in the kit by themselves or availing of the COVID-Safe Kit on their first cleaning appointment. The kit stays in their home at all times.  You may buy the COVID-Safe kit here: https://thecleanlife.com.au/product/cleaning-toolkit/

The Clean Life: About Hourly Rates

WHAT IS AN HOURLY RATE? At The Clean Life, no matter what type of clean you book, we charge an hourly rate. An HOURLY RATE means that you are charged based on the amount of time that our cleaners stay in your home to finish all the tasks that you require. WHY AN HOURLY RATE? An hourly rate is a fair system, for the client, the cleaners and the company. If you are away, but your home just needs a dust, your home will require less work, so we will charge accordingly. If the cleaners need to leave early for whatever reason, you will only be charged the time spent at your home. If your home is more built up, or if it requires a bit more of a deeper clean, we have flexibility to complete the whole job to the expected quality level, without having to rush, or miss things. No matter what the situation – you only pay the cleaners based on the amount of work completed.  OUR PROCESS Due to the flexibility of hourly rates, clients often express worry about how open-ended and varied it is. The Clean Life understands this and has ensured there are multiple safeguards in place to protect clients. The Clean Life also ensures that there is sufficient communication and transparency with the clients especially regarding costs and any issues regarding payments are answered with 100% honesty. Initial Deep Clean Estimate When clients first reach out to us, we ask a series of questions to ascertain size, currrent condition, and requirements of your home. We will then give an estimate based on the photos and description you have given of your home. We will book this estimated period of time, and if longer is required, we will communicate and request permission. Regular Cleaning Estimate After the initial deep clean of a home has been completed, the cleaners will estimate the amount of time it will take regularly to keep your home up to maintenance standard (which is usually less than the initial deep clean estimate). This new estimate is communicated to admin staff, and will become the basis for ongoing cleaning. 15-minute allowance (for regular cleaning ONLY)  The cleaners are expected to follow the ongoing cleaning estimate, however, they require flexibility, as from week to week, your home may need more or less cleaning. This hourly rate keeps things fair and reasonable, and within an expected 30 min time frame/budget. (15 min under, or over.) The admins will reach out to you if the cleaners need more than 15 minutes, past the estimate to finish everything. For eg – if your home has been set at 1 hour 15 mins, we would allow the cleaners anywhere between 1 hours -1 hours 30 mins to finish your home. Anything over that would require your permission. Capped Cleans (NOT recommended)  If you are working on a budget, we may allow for capped cleans i.e. cleans that are based on a strict time frame (and budget) rather than the amount of work needing to be done. When we cap a clean at a certain price, it means that we may not get all areas of your house completed, or have to rush over some areas. It leaves us dissatisfied – as we like to have the time to do a really good job and finish the home. We will not promise more than we can deliver (in a reduced time frame), whilst still trying to keep the standard of cleaning high. Our aim is to always achieve an excellent result – but in our experience,  when we cap an amount, it makes it hard to really show you what can be achieved when your whole home is done to our usual standard. Expectations are really important in this kind of clean – if you really do have your heart set on just doing a few items  – lets discuss your priorities and what can be reasonably expected during the time we have.

8 Things to look out for when choosing the best cleaning company for your home!

You’ve come to a point in life where you’re overwhelmed, and you’re looking for the best cleaning company for your home! You are not alone. As women, we have a tonne of tasks and responsibilities we need to catch up on, both at work and at home — our plates are overloaded. We bear the brunt of the responsibility of childcare, housecleaning, and cooking, all whilst trying to maintain a business and/or job and/or study. In between looking after kids, running around after everyone,  taking them to school, sports, and friends’ homes, as well as all the other hats we wear, there is no time for us to catch a break! Our schedules are so full and of course,  since COVID, we have made our homes our last priority because we just don’t have the time and energy to deal with the dust on our shelves (no judgment here!). We, the Jones, have a wonderful team that takes care of all the little things so we can focus on the major and most important things in life. We leave our dusty shelves to a cleaning company that will take care of it! SO many people have a cleaner in Melbourne. It is no longer just a luxury service (or a well-kept secret!) — it’s a necessity! So if you are in that place where you have decided that you need to hire a cleaning service; huge step! Congratulations! Well done to you! Your life is about to change for the better! Who do you choose? When trying to pick the right cleaning service, you can’t leave your home to just ANYONE. There are so many things that can (and will most likely) go wrong if you are not careful. Number 1 – look at their quality, security, and reliability! Don’t choose the cheapest. You get what you pay for. This has never been more true, especially in service industries!  They will all say they are the best, the cheapest, the most caring, the most reliable – so how do you know which ones really are the best domestic cleaners?  Get to know them better and do some research! The process can take a while until you’re able to choose the right cleaning company that suits you. You might even need to do a trial a few times before you know you have the right company. Even then, you still won’t be sure if you would be getting the most out of your money, so it would be best to have a checklist of things to consider to narrow down your options. Here’s a list you can start with! Reviews   The easiest way to get an overview of the quality of a company is by checking their reviews! Reading reviews can give you an insight into what the company is capable of and how they treat its clients.  If you know anyone who has hired the same company, it would be helpful to ask for their opinion as well! The Clean Life has over a hundred reviews and still remains a 5-star cleaning service! The Clean Life Reviews: https://www.facebook.com/thiscleanlife/reviews/ Insurance The last thing we want to think of is that something can go wrong. However, this would be a huge oversight not to consider – that unexpected things can and do happen. A cleaning service that has insurance gives them the ability to cover the costs of any unforeseen damage, breakage, or injury that occurs while they are on your property! They should be willing to tell you if they have this kind of coverage, and what they are covered for, and they should willingly provide you copies of their policies,  at your request.  (Keep in mind that this adds to the operating cost of a service company which is why the rates may be higher per hour.) However, the reassurance that comes with insurance will save you in the long run and will cover you if there are any unexpected damages and/or injuries. The Clean Life tries to avoid damages, breakages, and injury as much as possible by having procedures, and systems in place. However, if anything does happen, you can rest assured that you are fully covered by our insurance(s). Experience, Affiliations, and Accreditations In any industry, experience is a good indicator of reliability! Knowing how long a business has been running can usually mean that they listen to feedback and have done their best to continuously improve their services. Additionally, cleaning companies with awards, accreditations and affiliations with professional organizations should be a part of your choices as these companies are concerned with their reputation and are maintaining a certain level of standard!  The Clean Life has been in service for more than 5 years now and is continuously growing through feedback from both clients and staff! It is imperative to our growth to receive both good and bad reviews from everyone as it lets us know which parts of our service are great and which need improvement, so feedback is always appreciated! The founder of TCL –  Beckii – has been a business mentor to other cleaning businesses for the past year, and helps them scale their business based on her systems and processes. Guarantee A good cleaning company understands that not everything is in their control – so they put systems in place in case the unexpected happens! Before saying yes to an estimate or quote, always be sure to ask how they handle breakages, damages, and unsatisfactory services. These are the companies that are prepared to work on solutions with their clients! When our cleaners miss something (they’re human – we aim for excellence, not perfection!), The Clean Life will always take on this responsibility, and be apologetic. We will notify the cleaners of what they have missed – an opportunity for growth and learning! Then we will immediately schedule a date with our client for cleaners to rectify the issue! We have systems in place and we are ready for these situations

Why The Clean Life?

Managing a home is easy…or so many of us think. We often dismiss household chores as something that doesn’t need that much attention. We focus our energy on other important things (like taking care of our babies and/or children) — until these small, seemingly irrelevant tasks pile up and are already overdue and needing attention. This is when regret starts to set in… We regret not giving it our attention when the tasks were still small and manageable. Motherhood can be really overwhelming, and it can be hard to navigate life when we have many things that we need to take care of. It is a mother’s nature to worry, and carry the burden of responsibility – from carrying life in our wombs, to raising and nurturing our children; we are, by design, built to worry – and that is okay. Worry is what brings us to take action, to look for solutions and to keep our families safe. One of the constant worries that we experience, is the quality of the home that our loved ones live in. Safety and shelter are our two most basic needs other than food. Since the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses (and the need to stay at home) we now more than ever want our homes to be the safe haven for our loved ones – both mentally and physically. ❤️ It should be a space of comfort, of peace, and of serenity for the people we care about. That’s why The Clean Life is here – not to make you less of a mother, but to work with you on the things that most concern you and keep you up at night… so you can be the best for the people that matter to you! The Clean Life team understand the worries and concerns that families have and we create an individual solution for each home we take care of. Here are a couple of ways that The Clean Life helps you by taking care of your home! LOWER LEVELS OF STRESS There are mornings when everyone’s in a rush and are frantically searching for something, but can’t find what they need! When things take too long to find at home, it becomes an additional source of stress. We just want things to be where they need to be! 😖 However, when things are disorganized and all over the place, it can really be stressful. 😡 The effects from having a messy home can affect us subconsciously too! “When you live in a messy home, you are subconsciously reminded of work that needs to be finished and visually, your eyes do not have a place to rest,” says Dr. Rian Rowles, a psychiatrist affiliated with Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois. A calm and peaceful home influences the mood of everyone, and can even affect how we all feel throughout the day. Inversely, visual clutter will inadvertently lead to mental clutter. Feeling stressed at the beginning of the day is a precursor to a bad day so it’s much better to lessen the sources of stress for everyone in the morning. No more getting stressed looking for your keys! PERSONALIZED and DETAILED CLEANS Most cleaning companies offer a cookie cutter approach and clean the things they feel comfortable with from their standard list. Which may leave you with unmet expectations. The Clean Life admin team will communicate with you from the very first chat, and will ask your priorities and/or what matters to you the most – before we even step foot in your home! We ask 6-7 questions to really understand what you are looking for and your expectations. This helps our cleaners to understand that there are things at your home – you may not be ready to have cleaned or organized. Or things that you really want prioritized. The cleaners will work with you and communicate with you once they arrive, to build rapport and work within your boundaries and comfort levels. Once they know your priorities, they then proceed to come up with a solution – that works best for your home! You are always in control and what you want is always the priority. ❤️ Success to us is providing a service that you are raving about and cannot do without. We are honoured to be invited into your home and we never take our role lightly. When you ask for our help, you are gifting us the opportunity to help! It makes us feel good to truly connect and be able to help you and your family. ❤️ PREVENT ALLERGIES It’s so frustrating when anyone in the family has allergies/sensitivities from their environment. We just want to make them feel better and eliminate the cause!❤️ We can’t control too much what happens outside, but inside our homes, there are some things we can do to reduce this from happening! As cleaners we strive to keep your homes up to standard to ensure dust, dirt, debris and bacteria is kept to a minimum. Various allergens like dust mites, pollen, dander, etc. will also stay present in a home that is not regularly maintained. We want mold and allergens to have no space to thrive so we will not have to suffer from allergic reactions and respiratory issues. How we clean and what we use to clean is equally important! Toxic cleaning products can contribute to chronic respiratory problems, allergic reactions, headaches and irritation of the nose, throat and eyes. The Clean Life uses natural products that are environmentally friendly and totally safe for the whole family. We are super aware that common chemical laden products are not safe, so TCL cleaning methods focus on non-toxic and eco-friendly solutions that are not only safe for your family, but for our cleaners and our environment too! INCREASED FOCUS AND PRODUCTIVITY A study by Princeton University researchers discovered that clutter can make it difficult to focus on a particular task. Clutter can overwhelm a person’s visual
