As summer winds down and the new school year approaches, households everywhere begin to buzz with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Whether your preference is for the carefree days of summer or the structured routines of the school year, it’s a significant shift. This is especially true for busy parents juggling professional responsibilities and family life. Amid the flurry of back-to-school preparations, one critical task is getting the home clean and organized. An orderly environment not only sets a positive tone for the school year but also fosters a sense of calm and readiness for both parents and children alike.
However, the reality for many families is that keeping the home in top condition during this transition can feel unattainable. Between shopping for school supplies, managing extracurricular activities, and adjusting to new schedules, finding the time and energy for deep cleaning can seem impossible – not to mention keeping things clean week to week! This is where Maid Brigade steps in as the ideal solution. Maid Brigade can keep your home in perfect shape, allowing you to focus on what truly matters — making the back-to-school season as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Declutter Before Cleaning
Decluttering is an essential step in preparing your home for the new school year. A clutter-free environment not only creates a more organized and efficient living space but also sets the stage for thorough and effective cleaning. When every item has its place, maintaining cleanliness becomes significantly easier, and the professional cleaning process can be more comprehensive and efficient.
Decluttering might seem like a daunting task, but with a strategic approach, it can be manageable and even rewarding. Here are a few quick tips to help you get started:
- Start Small: Begin with one room or even a single area within a room. Trying to tackle the entire house at once can be overwhelming.
- Sort and Categorize: Go through your items and categorize them into keep, donate, and discard piles.
- Set a Timer: Allocate a specific amount of time for decluttering each day. Even 15-30 minutes can make a significant difference over time.
- Get the Whole Family Involved: Encourage children to participate in decluttering their own spaces. It teaches them responsibility and helps lighten your load, while also giving them a chance to create a dedicated, clutter-free study space.
By decluttering before the professional cleaners arrive, you allow them to focus on deep cleaning rather than navigating around piles of unnecessary items.

Deep-Cleaning Essentials
Deep cleaning your home is a vital step in getting a fresh start. Key areas like bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen require special attention to create a healthy and inviting environment. While regular cleaning helps maintain basic cleanliness, a thorough deep clean can address hidden dirt and grime that builds up over time.
Maid Brigade specializes in deep cleaning tasks that can make a significant difference in your home’s overall cleanliness. Here are some of the specific tasks that Maid Brigade handles:
- Dusting and Vacuuming: Maid Brigade ensures that all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas, are dust-free. They also use special techniques to remove dust and allergens from carpets and upholstery.

Creating a Healthy Environment
With the increase in social interactions and the hectic pace of school activities, it’s important to create an environment that minimizes the spread of germs and supports overall well-being. One effective way to achieve this is by paying special attention to high-touch areas that often harbor bacteria and viruses.
High-touch areas such as doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, and electronic devices are frequently used throughout the day, making them prime spots for germs to accumulate. Regular cleaning and disinfecting of these areas are essential to reduce the risk of illness and keep everyone in the household healthy.
Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning® process is designed to address these concerns effectively to maintain a healthier home.
- Safe, Non-Toxic Cleaning: PUREcleaning uses electrolyzed water, a powerful cleaning and disinfecting solution that is both effective and safe. This method eliminates the need for harsh chemicals, making it safer for families, pets, and the environment.
- Targeting High-Touch Areas: Focus on thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces throughout your home. By targeting these areas, Maid Brigade helps reduce the spread of germs and create a healthier living environment.
- Allergen Reduction: Advanced cleaning techniques also help in reducing allergens such as dust mites and pet dander, which can improve indoor air quality and alleviate allergy symptoms.
- Eco-Friendly Products: Maid Brigade’s commitment to using eco-friendly cleaning products means that your home is not only clean but also free from harmful chemical residues.
By choosing Maid Brigade’s professional cleaning services, you can be confident that your home remains a safe and healthy place for your family, especially during the school year when maintaining good health is a top priority.
