International Ideas Month: How Clean Homes Spark Creativity

Posted on March 31, 2025 by - Cleaning Tips

It’s International Ideas Month! To celebrate ideas big and small, Maid Brigade dares you to explore your creative side. When you’re not stressed, distracted, or scrambling to stack one work task on top of another, what does your imagination reveal? The plot of a thrilling novel? A design for a decorative art piece you could print and frame for your friends? In other words, when your mind is free, where does it go and, more importantly, what does it invent? 

The possibilities are endless, but you may struggle to let your creativity flow if your space is dirty and disorganized. Don’t believe us? This blog is dedicated to highlighting the connection between tidiness and an inspired, productive mind. As you read, remember: every day is a chance to use your imagination. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the creative activities and adventures it leads you towards. 

Creativity and Clutter Just Don’t Mix

Picture your desk or your office at its worst. Three days’ worth of stale coffee cups, a pile of discarded sticky notes, and a computer keyboard filled with crumbs from your afternoon snacks definitely aren’t the markers of an open, creative mind, and there’s serious evidence to back this up:

  • Stress Reduction and Improved Mental Clarity: Messiness can contribute to feelings of stress and anxiety, which can hinder creativity and productivity. A clean space can help alleviate this stress, allowing for a more relaxed and focused mindset. 
  • Enhanced Decision Making: Next comes the cascade effect of lowered stress. By removing visual clutter and prioritizing your peace, a clean space can improve your ability to analyze information and make better decisions.
  • Positive Mood Boost: Less stress, less reasons to frown! A tidy environment can positively impact your mood and self-esteem, leading to increased motivation and productivity.
  • Better Sleep: A rested mind has more energy to be creative, and there’s something to be said for dreams and their potential link to creative ideas. So, dream away, and clean with the goal of promoting a more imaginative sleep state that inspires invention. 

Helping Your Kids Thrive: A clean, well-composed space can help your children thrive, too. According to one study, 77% of parents saw more creativity and 83% of parents saw more productivity in kids who did homework and other activities in a consistently clean environment.

Dream Big. Dreams and daydreams alike can inspire creativity.

Imagine a Space Where You Can Express Yourself

It’s easier than you think. Just follow our simple guide to spruce up your home and get your favorite creative activities back on track: 

Make a Plan

Ask yourself what creativity means to you. Then consider when and where you feel most creative. This will inspire you to focus on cleaning and decluttering specific areas of your home and create a step-by-step plan to address the messes that are giving you the most stress. With a renewed sense of structure and a vision of your ideal creative sanctuary, you can move forward with confidence and achieve true self-expression. 

Donate and Discard

Maybe your space feels a little crowded because it is a little crowded. Determining what can be donated and what should be put straight in the trash will make cleaning and organizing so much easier. The result? Physically open spaces and, if you’re lucky, inspirational items and forgotten projects you may unearth in the process of decluttering. Creative activities can be ones you start anew or ones you revisit from a new angle. Having a cleaner space just gives you fresh opportunities to do both.  

Get a Second Set of Eyes

This “second set of eyes” can be a family member, a friend, or a professional home organizer. Better yet, you can call on a professional cleaning service like Maid Brigade to handle the tidying and cleaning tasks you may have overlooked. Being in the same space every day can make you grow accustomed to your surroundings, but when a team of expert cleaners steps in, they’re bound to notice details like dusty drapes and scuffed-up baseboards, clearing the way for creativity to blossom. Meanwhile, family and friends may be able to provide organizational tips that totally slipped your mind. 

Do a Digital Decluttering

There’s a sneaky, hidden space within your home that you may be forgetting, and it’s all digital. Your email inbox, your text messages, and the various places you store personal and professional files can become cluttered and chaotic fast. When’s the last time you focused on reorganizing them? We recommend unsubscribing from businesses you no longer buy from, deleting anything unnecessary, and focusing on creating a digital landscape that matches the creative person you’re striving to be. 

Already super organized? Consider swapping out your current phone or desktop wallpaper for something more dynamic and exciting. 

Zone In So You Can Zone Out

Once your whole home (or your whole space) is clean, you can consider designating specific areas to accommodate specific creative activities. You can streamline creative processes, eliminate distractions, and give yourself permission to get lost in your imagination when you have places that aren’t cluttered with bills to pay, mail to open, and other items from everyday life. 

Add What Inspires You

Maybe it’s a potted cactus or a Venus Flytrap. Maybe it’s your daughter’s second-grade art project. Whatever lifts your spirits and makes you feel closest to your own creative muse, bring it into the space where the majority of your creative activities and thinking take place. Joy and creativity often go hand in hand, so it can’t hurt to bring things that make you smile into your personal sanctuary. 

How a Professional Cleaning Can Help Creativity Shine

Let’s face it: Your home isn’t going to clean itself. Thankfully, you don’t have to be the one mopping every floor and dusting every surface to ensure your home is in the best shape for dreaming, imagining, and pursuing new creative endeavors. Even when you’re feeling your most productive, creativity typically comes second to major responsibilities like work and family. Maid Brigade understands this perfectly.
Have you considered a regular professional cleaning service? Not only will this allow you to keep your mind off of cleaning, but it will also create a sparkling clean, germ-free space where you can explore your more inventive side. Schedule your first service today and watch your peaceful thoughts flow into fun, colorful expressions of your true self.

New Year, New Priorities: Why 2025 is Your Year for a Cleaner, Healthier Home

Posted on January 16, 2025 by - Healthy Home

It’s the same every year: your New Year’s celebration is followed by a long list of New Year’s to-do’s and resolutions. Maybe you’re hoping to hit the gym more or put more time towards your passion projects. 

Maid Brigade is right there with you. We believe 2025 is the perfect opportunity to make peace of mind a priority in your day-to-day life. Why? Peace of mind and mental clarity will allow you to make room for all the important New Year’s to-do’s you already have in mind, and all the ones you haven’t written down yet because you believe you’ll never find the time.

With help from a professional cleaning service like Maid Brigade, your time is yours again. After all, this year is about more than just turning over a new leaf. It’s about clearing your headscape (and your calendar), imagining yourself in a fresher, tidier space, and feeling free to tackle the tasks that really matter. In this article, we’ll discuss why scheduling a professional cleaning is the first step towards a happier and more fulfilling 2025. 

Healthy Home, Healthy Life

A number of advantages await you when professional cleaning makes its way to the top of your task list. Plus, booking a Maid Brigade service is simple – maybe the simplest part of making and keeping your 2025 resolutions. Here are five ways a visit from our cleaning team can benefit you and your surroundings right now and all year long: 

Less Mess, Less Stress

It’s true: your stress and anxiety levels may be on the rise if you don’t have a clean, organized space to come home to. Clean rooms and furniture can give you a greater sense of control while reduced visual clutter can decrease the number of stressful, demanding items that are constantly in view and on your mind. Finally, a clean bedroom in particular can help you relax and achieve better, more restful sleep, lowering your overall stress levels significantly.

Improved Physical Health

Complement your efforts to eat healthy and stay active by maintaining a clean home. From sparkling kitchen countertops to wooden floors that shine, when the cleaning is taken care of, you can turn your attention to meal prep, fitness classes, taking a walk, and other wellness activities that would otherwise get pushed aside. 

Allergens, dust mites, and other common irritants may also be on the prowl in your home, but not with the right green cleaning services. Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning® process, for instance, uses electrolyzed water to disinfect your home from top-to-bottom without leaving behind unpleasant chemical residues and odors. Bye-bye bacteria; hello fresh, healthy home.  

Resetting Your Focus

Believe it or not, your productivity could hinge on how dirty and disheveled your home is. Think about it: if your home office is crowded with stacks of unfinished paperwork, leaning towers of books, and used coffee mugs, your mind-space is going to feel equally messy, preventing you from completing the essential daily to-do’s that keep your life on track. Whether it’s your work, your studies, or your hobbies, a clean home can provide the foundation for creativity, clear-headedness, and the ability to focus on all the things that matter most. 

Smiles All Around

Improve your mood with regular professional cleaning! Negative emotions like irritability, tension, and confusion often result from a grimy, chaotic environment. According to the American Cleaning Institute, 87% of Americans feel their best when their home is clean. Additionally, 70% of Americans say that having a clean home makes them feel accomplished, building towards that calm, happy mood that allows you to sink into your sofa and relax at the end of yet another great day. 

Clearing Your Clock — And Your Calendar

Who wants to spend hours every week scrubbing their baseboards and vacuuming their carpet? Take back your free time with a professional cleaning service. This can be as simple as finding a few extra minutes to unwind and enjoy a warm cup of tea or as big as starting that new novel writing course you’ve had your eye on for the last few months. A clean home clears the way for all the fun and enjoyment that life has to offer, giving you the opportunity to set positive intentions and turn distant dreams and goals into present realities.   

Schedule Your New Year Cleaning Today

Starting the new year with a clean slate is no small feat, and many people report that keeping their home mess-free is more work than a full-time job. At Maid Brigade, we understand the importance of making time for yourself. We want you to slow down, breathe, and not worry about mapping out a schedule for when every room in your house needs to get dusted. That’s what a regular professional cleaning is for.

Getting Ready for the Pros: How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional Cleaning

Posted on December 23, 2024 by - Cleaning Tips

Your work calendar is crowded with double-booked meetings. Your kid’s last soccer game is this Friday. Oh, and don’t forget that you still need to go grocery shopping. On weeks like this, cleaning is likely to fall way down the list of important to-dos, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a clean home. In fact, you deserve a clean home. 

Imagine the stress relief you will feel when you walk through your front door after another long day of work and see spotless, sparkling floors, ultra-clean countertops, and rooms that shine from the thoughtful touch of professional cleaning attention. 

We’re here to make your imagination a reality. No more nagging yourself to get the dusting done. No more staring down your vacuum as your carpet gets dirtier and dirtier. With a professional cleaning service, you have time to put those worries aside and handle life’s more pressing concerns – which includes relaxing, spending time with loved ones, and having fun. But how do you prepare your home for professional cleaners to arrive? What should you avoid, and what should you organize? In Maid Brigade’s latest blog, we’ll walk you through all the do’s and don’t’s, giving you the confidence to hire the right local house cleaning service for your home and family.

Pre local house cleaning service checklist

Professional Cleaning Checklist

Whether you’ve scheduled service for tomorrow or next week, there are a number of essential tasks you can perform to give your cleaning experts the upper hand when they enter your home.  

Declutter

Do a quick scan of your home before cleaners arrive to clear away clutter. When toys, clothes, and other miscellaneous items crowd your rooms and furniture, professional cleaners may have a hard time accessing places that really need to be scrubbed and sanitized. This is especially true of tabletops, desks, and counters. For instance, if your bathroom counter is cluttered with hairspray, makeup, and lotions, your cleaning team will have to spend valuable time moving your belongings around rather than dedicating all their energy to making your sink area sparkle. 

Clear Floors and Entryways 

Maneuvering mops, vacuums, and other cleaning equipment is way more difficult when boxes, shoes, and forgotten objects are all over the floor and potentially blocking doorways. You want to ensure that cleaners can enter and exit your home with ease. After you’ve decluttered, check your home’s closets, hallways, staircases, and other high-traffic areas to clear away unnecessary objects and reduce the risk of hazards like slips, trips, and falls for your cleaning team.  

Do the Dishes

A dirty sink full of unwashed dishes and food residue is not a great look for your kitchen, and it’s certainly not a welcoming sight for your cleaning team. We encourage you to clean dishes and put away food so that your counters, your sink, and all surrounding appliances are accessible and easy to bring to their optimum level of shine.  

Give Detailed Instructions

Are there certain areas of your home that need more attention than others? Are there rooms that should be avoided? These are just two examples of critical details you should inform your professional cleaning service of when you book service. You can give verbal instructions to the team member you schedule service with or leave a hand-written note in an obvious, visible area – like your kitchen counter. With a better understanding of your home and your expectations, professional cleaners can deliver exceptional results you will look forward to every time you book a cleaning. 

Keep Pets Secure 

You love your dog, but if your professional cleaners haven’t met your pets yet, it’s typically best to keep them in a designated room or place them outside for the duration of the cleaning. Plus, many pets become agitated at the sound of vacuums and other cleaning tools. By placing your pup in their crate or a closed off room, you can ensure the comfort of your furry loved one and your cleaning team. This is especially true if you’ve scheduled a cleaning for when you won’t be home. Your pets and their whereabouts are also something you can communicate in any instructions you provide. 

Professional Cleaning Don’t List 

Now you know exactly what you should do before cleaners arrive, but what about things you should avoid? Here are a few that have our experts shaking their heads: 

Don’t Use Harsh Chemical Cleaners

Some chemicals simply don’t mix, so it’s safer to avoid spraying bleach, antibacterial cleaners, and other household products before your cleaning team arrives. Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning® process uses powerful, non-toxic electrolyzed water to eliminate grime and keep your home free of chemical smells and residues, making any traditional household cleaners totally unnecessary.  

Don’t Pre-Clean Problem Areas 

As long as you’ve communicated what your home’s problem areas are, a professional cleaning will address your concerns first and foremost, taking a detailed, meticulous approach to anything you’ve deemed important. If you try to pre-clean these areas, you’re using valuable time and possibly creating confusion for your cleaning team. Leave the cleaning to the experts – you can trust that they’ll get it done right.

Holiday Prep Made Easy: How Maid Brigade Takes Cleaning Off Your To-Do List

Posted on November 21, 2024 by - About Us, Cleaning Tips

Getting ready for the holidays? The last thing you want to do is add “make more time for cleaning” and “buy new vacuum filters” to your already packed to-do list. Whether you’re hosting dinner parties or having overnight guests, the holiday season is prime time for a professional cleaning service. 

Why? 

While you’re busy decluttering, decorating, and preparing meals and gifts for your loved ones, dirt, grime, and dust are busy collecting on your furniture and surfaces. A seasonal cleaning can handle these issues and spruce up your home so it’s clean, cozy, and safe for any size holiday gathering.

No matter what you and your family are celebrating, we’re all about helping you create that “home for the holidays” feeling. In this blog, we’ll highlight the common concerns of holiday cleaning and give you our expert take on why a professional cleaning service is the gift that keeps on giving. 

Is Your Home Holiday Ready?

Holiday prep involves way more work than just decorating your home. As you’re getting ready for the holidays to arrive, Maid Brigade encourages you to pay attention to the key areas listed below. We also want to remind you that we’re here to help during this stressful but celebratory time of year, allowing you to breeze through your favorite holidays and into the new year with a fresh, clean home. 

Wave Goodbye to Clutter

It’s nearing the end of the year, and you’ve been collecting odds, ends, and unnecessary clutter for the past ten months. Throw away, donate, or organize as best you can to make room for holiday cheer. After all, you’re setting the stage for the most wonderful time of the year. Singing Hanukkah songs. Lighting the kinara for Kwanza. Setting out cookies for Santa. No matter how your family makes merry, your floors and furniture should be clear of all unnecessary items so everyone has room to sit, chat, feast, and enjoy. This will also help Maid Brigade’s team members access hard-to-reach areas and create the clean, welcome home feeling you want your guests to have as soon as they walk through the door. 

Family Spaces

From your dining room table to your kitchen island, your home is full of spaces where you and your loved ones will gather and reconnect this holiday season. That’s what makes a true holiday cleaning more than just a whole-house sweep to vacuum, remove cobwebs, and spot clean. Our experts see clean rooms as memories in the making, glowing opportunities for your family to laugh, share food, and simply enjoy the moment without having to worry about whether or not their surroundings are sanitary and safe. Thanks to Maid Brigade, all your cherished spaces are sanitary and safe. 

Get Cozy and Comfortable

Blankets, pillows, and flickering candles can help set the mood for holiday gatherings and activities, and so can a sparkling clean kitchen. Spotless countertops are ready for food prep — and all the family gossip you need to catch up on. Meanwhile, clean and inviting chairs and sofas give guests a place to kick back and relax, soaking in the bright holiday mood. But wait, isn’t it flu season? No one wants the gift of a cough and runny nose, and that’s why our professional cleaning services emphasize disinfecting your home of all germs and bacteria. We prioritize safety so you can prioritize your annual celebrations. 

’Tis the Season for Professional Cleaning 

All of the essentials we’ve described above would be tough to tackle on your own. That’s why there’s never been a better time to schedule a holiday cleaning with a real expert like Maid Brigade. Here are some of the benefits you can expect from our professional cleaning services: 

Reduced Stress

A professional cleaning can stop stress in its tracks. In addition to cleaning your home, we’re clearing away all the tension and worry that’s building in your mind as you scramble to purchase gifts, send cards, and make your home look like a winter wonderland. It’s okay to cross “holiday cleaning” off your to-do list, because we’re here to handle it for you. We want you to truly enjoy the holidays, and when you sit down to savor the beautiful meal you prepared or watch your favorite holiday movie, you should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Your home is clean, your family is happy, and you’ve made holiday hosting an undeniable success without having to scrub a thing. 

If you schedule our deep cleaning services, you can also enjoy peace of mind that both the holidays and the new year will greet you with a squeaky clean home. With so many visitors coming in and out of your house and the potential for snow, sand, and salt to be tracked across your floors, chances are you’ll need the added touch of a thorough seasonal cleaning. 

Time Saved

Picture this: you have the time to sample your cookie recipe, put together the perfect outfit, and sit back and admire the scenery. Your guests will arrive soon, and everything is clean and ready for their arrival. 

Getting ready for holiday events should be about enjoying the process and watching the spirit of the season come alive under your guidance and care. However, without a professional cleaning, you may find yourself rushing from task to task and not enjoying yourself at all. Your time is limited during the holiday season, and Maid Brigade can help give more of it back. With our highly detailed approach to hidden areas like windowsills and that pesky space behind your couch, we can replace your hectic sense of pre-party panic with a serene “you’ve got this” feeling, saving you precious minutes and hours.

Keeping Your Home Allergy-Free: Essential Tips for Indoor Allergies

Posted on August 23, 2024 by - Cleaning Tips, Healthy Home

As the leaves begin to change and the crisp autumn air settles in, many of us look forward to the cozy comforts of fall. However, for those who suffer from allergies, the new season can also bring a host of challenges. Fall allergies, often triggered by ragweed pollen, mold spores, and dust mites, can turn this beautiful season into a time of discomfort and frustration. Sneezing, itchy eyes, and a constant runny nose can make it hard to enjoy the joys of autumn.

These allergens don’t just stay outside — they easily infiltrate our homes, affecting indoor air quality and our overall well-being. This is why preparing for the fall allergy season is crucial. By taking proactive steps to manage allergens, you can ensure that your home remains free from the discomfort of allergies.

Maintaining a healthy home environment is not just about comfort; it’s about safeguarding your health and enhancing your quality of life. With a few strategic changes and a commitment to cleanliness, you can enjoy the beauty of the fall season without the burden of allergies weighing you down.

Is My House Giving Me Allergies?

Fall is a season of transition, bringing cooler temperatures and vibrant foliage. However, it also heralds the arrival of fall allergies, which can be as troublesome as their spring counterparts. Understanding the causes and symptoms of these allergies is the first step in managing them effectively.

Causes of Fall Allergies

The primary culprits of fall allergies are ragweed pollen, mold spores, and dust mites.

  • Ragweed Pollen: Ragweed is the most common trigger of fall allergies, releasing pollen from late summer through the fall. Even if ragweed isn’t prevalent in your area, its lightweight pollen can travel hundreds of miles on the wind, affecting people far from its source.
  • Mold Spores: Mold thrives in damp environments, and the decaying leaves of fall provide the perfect breeding ground. As leaves accumulate and decompose, mold spores are released into the air, often making their way indoors.
  • Dust Mites: While dust mites are present year-round, they can become more active in the fall as we spend more time indoors with our windows closed, allowing these microscopic creatures to flourish in warm, humid environments.

Symptoms of Fall Allergies

Common symptoms of fall allergies include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes and throat, and even coughing or wheezing. These symptoms can mimic those of a cold, making it difficult to identify the true cause. For many people, these symptoms lead to disrupted sleep, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. They affect daily activities and overall quality of life.

Impact on Indoor Air Quality

Allergens from outside can easily infiltrate our homes through open windows, on clothing, and on pets. Once inside, they can significantly degrade indoor air quality. Poor indoor air quality not only exacerbates allergy symptoms but can also contribute to respiratory issues and overall discomfort for all household members.

“With so many of us suffering from allergies, let’s remember that indoor air quality can be worse than outdoors!” says Maid Brigade President Raychel Leong-Sullins. “Dust, dander, and pollen can pollute our homes. A thorough regular cleaning, vacuuming with high quality equipment, and air purifiers can help us breathe better.”

Maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for reducing allergy symptoms and ensuring a comfortable living environment. This involves understanding how allergens enter our homes and taking steps to minimize their presence. In the following sections, we’ll explore practical tips to help you keep these allergens at bay and maintain a healthy home throughout the fall season.

What Helps Allergies at Home?

Maintaining an allergy-free home requires a proactive approach, especially during the fall season when allergens are at their peak. Here are some essential tips to help protect your home from allergens with help from a house cleaning service.

1. Regular Cleaning Routine

A consistent cleaning routine is your first line of defense against indoor allergens. Regular cleaning helps reduce the accumulation of dust, pollen, and other allergens that can trigger allergy symptoms. This is where Maid Brigade’s professional cleaning services can make a significant difference.

Maid Brigade’s team is trained to provide thorough cleaning that targets common allergy culprits. Our PUREcleaning® process uses electrolyzed water, which is both effective and environmentally friendly, eliminating allergens without harsh chemicals. This innovative approach ensures that your home is not only clean but also healthier for you and your family.

2. Control Indoor Humidity

Maintaining the right indoor humidity levels is crucial for reducing mold growth and dust mite activity. Ideally, indoor humidity should be kept at 30–50%. High humidity creates a breeding ground for mold and dust mites, while low humidity can dry out nasal passages and worsen allergy symptoms. To control humidity:

  • Use Dehumidifiers: These devices help maintain optimal humidity levels, especially in damp areas like basements.
  • Ventilate Properly: Regularly ventilate your home by using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and open windows when outdoor conditions allow.

3. Use of HEPA Filters

High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are designed to trap small particles, including pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, effectively removing them from the air. Make sure your cleaning is done with the right equipment to eliminate these pesky particles.

  • Vacuums with HEPA Filters: Use vacuums equipped with HEPA filters to ensure that allergens are captured and not recirculated into the air.
  • Air Purifiers: Invest in air purifiers with HEPA filters to continuously cleanse the air in your home.
  • HVAC Systems: Ensure your HVAC system uses HEPA filters for efficient allergen removal, and make sure to properly maintain your HVAC system by changing filters regularly and conducting any other needed upkeep.

4. Regular Maintenance of Bedding and Upholstery

Bedding and upholstery are magnets for dust mites and other allergens. Regular maintenance of these items is essential to minimize allergen exposure.

  • Wash Bedding Weekly: Use hot water to kill dust mites and other allergens. Consider using allergen-proof covers for mattresses, pillows, and comforters.
  • Clean Upholstery: Regularly vacuum and clean upholstered furniture. Maid Brigade offers specialized services to ensure these items are thoroughly cleaned, helping to reduce allergens in your home.

5. Natural Remedies for Indoor Allergies and Air Purification

Incorporating natural air purifiers and remedies can further improve the air quality in your home.

  • Houseplants: Certain plants, such as spider plants and peace lilies, can naturally purify the air by absorbing toxins and releasing oxygen.
  • Essential Oils: Oils like eucalyptus and peppermint have anti-inflammatory properties and can be diffused to help alleviate allergy symptoms.
  • Preventative Measures: Keep windows closed during high-pollen times and regularly check pollen forecasts to minimize indoor pollen exposure.

By implementing these strategies, you can create a healthier and more comfortable home environment during the fall allergy season. With Maid Brigade’s expertise and commitment to cleaning excellence, maintaining an allergy-free home has never been easier.

Embrace a Healthier Home This Fall

As the fall season ushers in a new set of allergy challenges, you need to take proactive steps to keep your home allergy-free.

Maid Brigade’s professional cleaning services offer a reliable solution for effectively managing allergens. Our expertise and innovative PUREcleaning process provide a thorough, environmentally friendly cleaning experience.

Investing in an allergy-free home environment not only improves your physical health but also improves your overall comfort and quality of life. By choosing Maid Brigade, you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying the beauty of autumn with your loved ones in a clean, healthy home.

Back-to-School Cleaning Checklist: Preparing Your Home for a New Academic Year

Posted on August 8, 2024 by - Cleaning Tips


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.

Checklist






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.
  • Bathroom Sanitization: Bathrooms are high-traffic areas that require more than just a wipe-down. Maid Brigade thoroughly cleans and sanitizes sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs, ensuring that these spaces are hygienic and fresh.
  • Kitchen Cleaning: Kitchens are another critical area, often the heart of the home. Maid Brigade focuses on cleaning and sanitizing countertops, sinks, and appliances, including the inside of microwaves and refrigerators. They can also tackle grease and grime buildup in areas like the stove and oven.
  • Floor Care: Whether you have hardwood, tile, or carpeted floors, Maid Brigade has the expertise to clean them effectively. Your cleaning team will mop hard surfaces to remove dirt and stains and provide deep carpet cleaning to lift embedded dirt and refresh fibers.

With all the different rooms and tasks your Maid Brigade team is tackling, you’ll be pleased to know we are always sure to rotate our microfiber cloths to prevent any cross-contamination between rooms. You never need to worry about contaminants from one part of the house being transported into another! By opting for Maid Brigade’s professional cleaning services, you ensure that your home is thoroughly and effectively cleaned. 

Checklist







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.

Summer Entertaining Made Easy: How Maid Brigade Can Help Prepare Your Home

Posted on July 24, 2024 by - Cleaning Tips

Summer is a time for sunshine, barbecues, and unforgettable gatherings with friends and family. However, hosting summer events comes with the challenge of making sure your home is spotless and inviting. With the excitement of summer entertaining, the last thing you want to worry about is cleaning. 

That’s where Maid Brigade steps in. With our help, your home can be the perfect setting for summer fun.

The Importance of a Clean Home for Summer Gatherings

A clean home is more than just visually appealing; it plays a critical role in the overall success of your summer events. When your home is tidy and well-organized, guests feel welcomed and comfortable, and it creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages socialization and enjoyment. Here are several key reasons why maintaining a clean home is essential for summer entertaining:

  • Impressions Matter. Your home can be a reflection of you. When guests walk into a spotless home, it immediately sets a positive tone for the event.
  • Comfort and Hygiene. Cleanliness directly impacts comfort and hygiene. Ensuring that surfaces are dust-free, bathrooms are sanitized, and common areas are tidy makes guests feel at ease. 
  • Stress-Free Hosting. A clean home allows you to focus on your guests rather than worrying about tidying up. 
  • Easy Entertaining. A clean and organized home is more functional. Clear countertops and clutter-free spaces make it easier to prepare food, serve drinks, and set up entertainment areas, allowing the event to flow smoothly without logistical hiccups.

By maintaining a clean home, you avoid the stress of last-minute cleaning sprints. Instead, you can dedicate the final hours before your event to details like decorations, music, and menu preparations to get everything perfect!

Hiring professional cleaning services has many benefits when you’re preparing for summer events. Maid Brigade’s team of professionals saves you time and reduces stress, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of your event. Their thoroughness and reliability mean that every nook and cranny will be cleaned to perfection. Maid Brigade also uses eco-friendly and safe cleaning products, creating a healthy environment for you and your guests.

Preparing for Summer Events with Maid Brigade

Getting your home ready for summer entertaining involves several key steps, each designed to ensure your home remains in perfect condition throughout the season. Maid Brigade offers a comprehensive approach to cleaning, focusing on two main types of services:

Regular Cleanings

Regular cleanings are essential to keep your home in top condition. These scheduled cleanings clear out dirt and clutter, making it easier to maintain a pristine environment. Regular maintenance cleanings include:

  • Routine Surface Cleaning: Dusting and wiping down frequently used surfaces to prevent the accumulation of dust and allergens.
  • Floor Maintenance: Regular vacuuming and mopping to keep floors looking their best and free of debris.
  • Bathroom and Kitchen Upkeep: Ongoing sanitization of high-use areas such as sinks, countertops, and toilets for the highest hygiene standards.
  • Touch-Up Cleaning: Addressing any minor messes or spills that occur between deeper cleaning sessions, so that your home remains guest-ready at all times.

Special Deep Cleanings

A deep clean will help make your home shine for special events — like summer entertaining! This service involves a thorough cleaning of every area, with special services that can be performed on their own or in addition to your regular cleaning.

The deep clean will get your home ready to impress your guests, focusing on high-traffic areas and last-minute details that make a big difference. 

Your local Maid Brigade team can also tackle all kinds of other cleaning tasks. Depending on your needs, you can request additional a la carte cleaning services. For example, you might request extra attention to your kitchen, such as cleaning the insides of your fridge, freezer, oven, and dishwasher. Maybe you need cleaning under the oven hood and stove top. All you need to do is ask and find out what options are available in your area!

No matter where you are or what your needs are, Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning® process stands out for its health and safety benefits. This innovative process, based on the power of electrolyzed water, combines powerful cleaning solutions with advanced technologies to deliver superior results. The PUREcleaning® process is not only effective in removing dirt and grime but also improves the environment through safe, non-toxic cleaning. By choosing Maid Brigade, you are investing in a healthier home for your family and guests.

Organizational Tips to Maintain a Tidy Home Between Cleanings

Posted on June 20, 2024 by - Cleaning Tips

A tidy, clutter-free home isn’t just about appearances. In a fast-paced world, clutter can quickly accumulate and lead to a sense of chaos. This is where Maid Brigade comes in. With their expert house cleaning services, Maid Brigade improves the quality of life for every customer. They understand that a clean home is not just a luxury but a necessity for mental and physical well-being.

Consistent organization is fundamental to achieving and maintaining this level of cleanliness. By implementing simple daily habits and routines, you can ensure that your home remains a sanctuary of peace and order between professional cleanings. Keeping your space tidy not only promotes a healthier lifestyle by reducing allergens and creating a more hygienic environment, it also significantly improves your time management. When everything has its place and clutter is kept at bay, you spend less time searching for items and more time enjoying your home.

Whether you’re juggling a busy career, managing a household, or simply looking to create a more calming living space, the tips in this article will support your efforts in keeping your home tidy and stress-free. 


Daily Habits for a Clutter-Free Home

Maintaining a clutter-free home starts with incorporating a few simple daily habits that make a big difference over time. These habits don’t just keep your home tidy — they also create a sense of accomplishment and peace.

Start Your Day with a Small Win

Tidiness requires the right mindset. To get in the right frame of mind, it helps to start the day with an easy win. One of the simplest ways to set a positive tone for the day is to make your bed each morning. This small task takes just a few minutes but can have a significant impact on your mindset. A neatly made bed instantly makes your bedroom look more organized and provides a sense of order and accomplishment. It’s a simple habit that sets the stage for a productive day and encourages further tidiness.

Clean as You Go

Adopting the “clean as you go” mindset can dramatically reduce the amount of clutter that accumulates throughout the day. Whether you’re cooking, working, or relaxing, make it a habit to tidy up as you move from one activity to the next. For instance, while preparing meals, wash dishes or load them into the dishwasher as you use them. After meals, immediately put away leftovers. This approach prevents messes from piling up and makes end-of-day cleaning much more manageable.

Evening Tidy-Up Routine

End your day with a quick, 10-minute tidy-up in the evening. This routine doesn’t have to be exhaustive but should focus on putting things back in their designated places and addressing any visible clutter. Start by clearing off surfaces such as countertops, tables, and desks. Put away any stray items like books, toys, or clothes that may have been left out during the day. A quick sweep of high-traffic areas, such as the living room and kitchen, can also help ensure that you wake up to a tidy home.

Incorporating these daily habits into your routine can significantly reduce clutter and make your home feel more organized. Starting with just a short list of daily activities, you’ll create an environment that is not only easier to maintain but also more enjoyable to live in.


Weekly Organizational Strategies

Now it’s time to start thinking bigger. Once you’ve mastered the daily tidying routine, implementing weekly organizational strategies can further help maintain an orderly home. By dedicating some time each week to address common problem areas, you can keep your living space looking its best.

Declutter Hot Spots

Every home has its hot spots — those areas where clutter tends to accumulate quickly. Common hot spots include entryways, kitchen counters, and living room tables. To keep these areas under control, set aside time each week to declutter and organize them. Start by identifying the most problematic spots in your home. Then, go through each area, sorting items into categories such as “keep,” “discard,” and “relocate.” This practice not only keeps your home looking neat but also makes it easier to find items when you need them.

Laundry Routine

Laundry can quickly become overwhelming if not managed properly. Establishing a consistent laundry routine helps keep dirty clothes from piling up and ensures that you always have clean clothes available. Choose specific days of the week for doing laundry, such as Tuesdays and Saturdays, and stick to this schedule. Break the process into smaller, manageable tasks, and you can prevent it from becoming a daunting chore.

Paper Management

Paper clutter is another common issue in many households. From mail and bills to schoolwork and receipts, it’s easy for paper to accumulate if not managed regularly. Create a dedicated space for handling paper, such as a desk or a filing cabinet, and establish a system for sorting and storing documents. Set aside time each week to go through the paper, discarding anything unnecessary and filing important documents. Consider using labeled folders or trays to organize different types of paper to make it easier to find what you need when you need it.

By incorporating these weekly organizational strategies into your routine, you can effectively manage clutter and maintain a tidy home. These strategies complement your daily habits, ensuring that your home remains a haven of order and tranquility.


Seasonal Deep Cleans

While daily and weekly habits are essential for maintaining a tidy home, seasonal deep cleans provide the perfect opportunity to tackle more extensive decluttering and organization tasks. By aligning your efforts with the changing seasons, you can efficiently manage your space and even refresh your living environment.

Declutter by Season

Each season brings its own set of activities, weather conditions, and associated clutter. Use the transition between seasons as a cue to declutter and reorganize your home. For example, as winter gives way to spring, take the opportunity to store away heavy blankets and winter gear. Sort through your belongings, donating or discarding items that are no longer needed or used. This seasonal approach to decluttering keeps your home organized and prevents the buildup of unnecessary items.

Rotate Clothing

One of the most effective ways to keep your wardrobe manageable is to rotate your clothing based on the season. At the start of each season, go through your closet and drawers, setting aside clothes that are not suitable for the upcoming weather. Store out-of-season clothing in labeled bins or vacuum-sealed bags to save space. This practice not only helps you maintain an organized closet but also makes it easier to find the clothes you need. When you switch your wardrobe each season, it’s also a great time to evaluate what you have and decide if any items need to be donated or discarded.

Utilize Maid Brigade’s Seasonal Cleaning Services

Seasonal changes are an ideal time to utilize Maid Brigade’s professional cleaning services for a deeper clean. While regular cleaning keeps your home tidy, a seasonal deep clean by Maid Brigade can address those hard-to-reach areas and more intensive tasks that accumulate over time.

Seasonal deep cleans not only refresh your home but also provide a structured approach to decluttering and organizing. This approach ensures that each season brings a renewed sense of neatness to your living space.

Maintaining Tidiness

Maintaining a tidy home is a commitment that benefits from the involvement of the entire household. By assigning specific tasks to each family member, you can distribute the workload and foster a sense of collective responsibility for keeping your home in order. Encouraging children to pick up after themselves, helping them understand the value of organization, and making cleaning a regular family routine can make a significant difference.

By incorporating the practices we’ve discussed into your routine, you create an environment that enhances the effectiveness of your cleaning day. When your Maid Brigade cleaning team arrives, they can focus on providing a meticulous, deep clean because the everyday clutter and mess are already under control. This synergy between your efforts and Maid Brigade’s expertise ensures that your home remains sparkling clean and inviting.
Maid Brigade is here to support you every step of the way with their reliable and thorough cleaning services. By scheduling regular cleanings with Maid Brigade, you can maintain a pristine home environment that you and your family will love.

Green Cleaning 101: Why Non-Toxic Solutions Matter for Your Home

Posted on June 5, 2024 by - Green Cleaning Tips and Tricks

Maintaining a clean home isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about creating a healthy, safe environment for your family. This is where green cleaning comes into play, offering an eco-friendly approach to home cleaning that benefits both your health and the planet. 

At Maid Brigade, we are dedicated to providing top-tier professional cleaning and disinfection services with a strong commitment to eco-friendly practices. Our PUREcleaning system, which utilizes non-toxic solutions like electrolyzed water, is at the forefront of this green-cleaning revolution.

Our goal today is to educate you on the importance of green cleaning, introduce effective techniques, and highlight the many benefits of hiring a house cleaning service that uses non-toxic solutions for your home. By understanding and implementing these practices, you can ensure a safer, healthier living space for your loved ones.

Understanding Green Cleaning

Green cleaning is all about using environmentally friendly products and methods to maintain a clean home. It emphasizes the use of natural, non-toxic ingredients that are safe for both people and the planet. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, which often rely on harsh chemicals, green cleaning focuses on sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact.

Two of the fundamental principles of green cleaning are:

  • Use of Non-Toxic Products: Green cleaning products avoid harmful chemicals like ammonia and bleach, instead using natural ingredients such as vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils.
  • Sustainable Practices: This includes using reusable cleaning tools, reducing water consumption, and proper waste disposal.

The Significance for Home Disinfection and Health

Traditional cleaning methods often involve chemicals that can cause health issues and environmental damage. Green cleaning, on the other hand, promotes a safer approach by using biodegradable and non-toxic products, which are just as effective in maintaining cleanliness.

Non-toxic cleaning is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment. It helps eliminate germs and bacteria without introducing toxic substances into your living space. This is particularly important for households with children, pets, or individuals with respiratory issues like allergies or asthma.

Benefits of Green Cleaning

Let’s consider some of the key benefits of green cleaning:

  • Health Benefits: Green cleaning reduces your exposure to harmful chemicals. By using non-toxic products, you reduce the risk of chemical burns, skin irritations, and respiratory problems. You also benefit from improved indoor air quality, which can help with respiratory health.
  • Environmental Benefits: Green cleaning products are biodegradable and reduce water and soil pollution. They often come in recyclable packaging to minimize waste as well. You can help contribute to sustainable resource use and the protection of ecosystems by using renewable resources and reducing your reliance on synthetic chemicals.
  • Home Benefits: Non-toxic products are gentle and safe for all surfaces, prolonging the life of your household items and furnishings without sacrificing cleaning effectiveness. Green cleaning products are also less likely to produce overpowering smells like chemical cleaning solutions.

By understanding and prioritizing green cleaning practices, you can create a better, more sustainable home environment. This approach not only protects your family’s health but also contributes to the well-being of our planet.

Key Green Cleaning Techniques

Natural ingredients are the cornerstone of green cleaning. Many common items are effective and safe for various cleaning tasks.

  • Vinegar: Great for cutting through grease and removing mildew.
  • Baking Soda: Excellent for scrubbing surfaces and neutralizing odors.
  • Lemon Juice: Acts as a natural disinfectant with a pleasant scent.

Eco-Friendly Tools

As you bring more environmentally friendly cleaning practices into your life, you’ll also want to make sure you’re using the right tools. For example, microfiber cloths are highly effective at picking up dust and dirt without the need for chemical cleaners. They can be washed and reused many times. Opt for mop heads that can be washed and reused to reduce waste and cost over time.

Proper maintenance of eco-friendly tools ensures their longevity and effectiveness. Wash microfiber cloths regularly to maintain their cleaning power, and follow manufacturer instructions for cleaning and storing reusable mop heads.

Proper Disposal and Recycling

Disposing of cleaning products and materials responsibly is a key aspect of green cleaning. Follow local guidelines for disposing of hazardous materials. Avoid pouring chemicals down the drain. Recycle containers and packaging when possible. 

Choosing the Right Green Cleaning Products

When selecting green cleaning products, it’s essential to be able to decipher product labels to ensure they meet environmental and health standards. Here’s how:

  • Ingredients: Look for clear, transparent ingredient lists. Avoid products with vague terms like “fragrance” or “dye.”
  • Certifications: Seek out certifications such as EPA Safer Choice, Green Seal, and Ecologo. These indicate that the product has been tested and meets rigorous standards for safety and sustainability.
  • Eco-Friendly Claims: Verify claims like “biodegradable,” “non-toxic,” or “plant-based” through reliable sources or certification bodies.

Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning System

Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning system represents a leap in green cleaning technology. At its heart is electrolyzed water, produced by combining electricity, water, and salt. This solution is a potent disinfectant, eradicating bacteria and viruses without leaving harmful residues.

This system offers tremendous benefits for homeowners. First, it is non-toxic and safe.

Creating a Healthy and Clean Environment for Children to Thrive

Posted on September 9, 2013 by - Healthy Body, Healthy Home

clean home

Children are creative, curious, and playful by nature. They won’t hesitate to roll around on the floor, crawl under the couch, and get their hands on whatever toy (or toy-like) object they can find. What if that space under the couch is thick with dust? What if those toys they’re so eager to play with haven’t been sanitized in months? Allergens and bacteria could be lurking around every corner and on every surface, making it critical for parents to pay close attention to the cleanliness of their home. 

Besides, children thrive in environments that promote their health, focus, and overall well-being. A clean, sanitary space is the foundation for kids to study, play, and grow without unnecessary distractions or health risks. If you’re wondering how you can best support your child’s development, we recommend maintaining a healthy environment.  

The Connection Between Cleanliness and Child Development

A clean home directly impacts your children’s ability to focus and stay healthy. Research suggests that children who live in cleaner environments are less likely to suffer from respiratory issues and experience fewer sick days, allowing them to stay on top of schoolwork and enjoy activities with friends and family.

Dust, allergens, and bacteria can lead to frequent colds, allergies, or asthma — common conditions that not only affect their physical health but also disrupt learning and play. By creating a space that is free from these irritants, you give your children the tools they need to concentrate, explore, and flourish. Imagine the sound of your children’s laughter or, better yet, the amicable silence as they eagerly tackle homework or fill in coloring books without inhaling harmful irritants. A clean home will bring your imagination to life.

Practical Tips for a Healthier Home

Thankfully, creating a healthier home doesn’t require drastic changes. Small, consistent actions like the ones we’ve listed below can make a big difference. 

  • Control Allergens: Vacuum carpets and rugs regularly, focusing on areas where kids play the most. Use HEPA filters in your vacuum to trap even the smallest particles.
  • Sanitize High-Touch Areas: Germs linger on surfaces like light switches, doorknobs, and toys. A quick but regular wipe-down can prevent the spread of illnesses.
  • Choose Eco-Friendly Products: Kids have a way of touching everything and then putting their hands in their mouths. Opt for safe, non-toxic cleaning products so that no harsh chemical residues are left behind.
  • Declutter Regularly: Organize and simplify living areas to create focused study and play zones. Reducing clutter also helps minimize dust accumulation and distractions.

Reclaim Your Time and Peace of Mind

While routine cleaning is important, achieving and maintaining a truly sanitary home environment often requires the expertise of professionals. A professional cleaning service doesn’t just save time — it ensures a deeper level of clean that can be hard to attain on your own. This is where Maid Brigade excels, offering specialized services to create a healthier home for your family.
