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 Maidkart 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 Maidkart’s professional cleaning services can make a significant difference.

Maidkart’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. Maidkart 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 Maidkart’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.

Maidkart’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 Maidkart, you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying the beauty of autumn with your loved ones in a clean, healthy home.

Imagine coming home to a space that’s not just clean but also safe and welcoming for every family member, including the furry ones. Maintaining a pristine home with pets can be a challenging, never-ending battle — from managing shedding hair to eliminating stubborn odors. Pets bring immense joy but also introduce unique cleaning challenges requiring special care and expertise.

At Maidkart, we understand these challenges and are dedicated to providing exceptional cleaning services tailored to pet owners. With a passion for creating healthier living environments, Maidkart ensures your home remains a haven for both you and your pets.

Ensuring a Safe Home Environment

Maidkart understands the importance of maintaining a safe home environment for all family members, including pets. For pet owners, ensuring that cleaning products are safe for their furry friends is a top priority. Many common cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to pets, causing skin irritations, allergies, or even more severe health issues if ingested.

Our unique PUREcleaning™ process utilizes electrolyzed water, which is effective at breaking down dirt, grime, and bacteria without the need for harmful chemicals. Electrolyzed water is a powerful yet gentle cleaning agent that is completely safe for pets and humans alike.

Improving Quality of Life

Maidkart’s team of cleaning professionals is prepared to tackle even the most stubborn pet messes. Whether it’s removing pet hair from upholstery, neutralizing odors, or deep-cleaning carpets, we’ve got you covered.

One of the most persistent issues for pet owners is dealing with pet hair and dander. Our specialized systems and cleaning techniques are designed to capture and remove pet hair from all surfaces, which can help improve the air quality in your home. 

Accidents happen, and when they do, Maidkart is here to help. Our cleaning team will handle pet accidents with care, using pet-safe products to thoroughly clean and disinfect affected areas, remove visible stains, and eliminate any bacteria or allergens. Pet odors are infamous for being particularly challenging to eliminate, but even they are no match against our eco-friendly, odor-neutralizing cleaning products.

The Path to Pet-Friendly Cleaning

For pet owners, maintaining a clean home is not just about aesthetics; it’s about ensuring a healthy environment for every member of the family. Our PUREcleaning™ system and use of pet-safe, non-toxic cleaning products means you never have to worry about harmful chemicals lingering on surfaces where your pets play and sleep. 

In the spirit of encouraging a relaxing environment, Maidkart will coordinate with you and make any possible accommodations to ensure your pets are as comfortable as possible on cleaning days. While not required, securing pets away from designated cleaning areas can help ease the stress of our team being in the home, even if you’re not able to be there yourself.

As the flowers bloom and the weather warms, spring brings a sense of renewal and rejuvenation. However, for many, it also marks the onset of seasonal allergies. Pollen and other allergens can turn what could be a pleasant season into a time of sneezing, sniffling, and overall discomfort. Fortunately, with consistent cleaning practices, your home can become a place of refuge from the outdoor allergies where you can breathe easy throughout springtime.

Here are a few helpful home cleaning practices to help you embrace spring without the burden of allergies:

  1. Wash Bedding Frequently: Your bed can be a haven for allergens, especially if you’re not washing your bedding regularly. Wash your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets in hot water every week to eliminate dust mites and pollen that may have settled during the night.
  2. Limit Outdoor Allergen Exposure: While it’s tempting to let in the fresh spring air, keeping windows closed during high pollen counts can significantly reduce indoor allergens.
  3. Clean Pet Areas Regularly: If you share your home with furry friends, it’s important to be mindful of allergens they can carry. Keep your pets clean and well-groomed to minimize shedding and dander. Regularly bathing and grooming pets, as well as frequent vacuuming and washing their bedding, can help significantly reduce allergen buildup in your home.
  4. Declutter Your Home: Clutter provides hiding places for dust and pollen to accumulate. Keep your living spaces tidy and clutter-free to make cleaning more manageable and prevent allergens from lingering in overlooked areas.

In your pursuit of a healthier indoor environment and the enjoyment of spring, consistency in home cleaning practices is key. By incorporating these practices into your day-to-day routine, your home can be a safer and cleaner environment for you and your family. However, we understand that achieving this level of cleanliness can be daunting.

That’s where Maidkart steps in. Our PUREcleaning® system cleans, sanitizes, and disinfects, without leaving harsh residues, dyes, or odors behind. With our targeted cleaning techniques and preventive measures, you can breathe easy and fully immerse yourself in the splendor of the season. A recurring visit from Maidkart also ensures less cleaning for you in between your regular visits.

Remember, maintaining an allergen-free home requires effort and attention to detail, but with Maidkart by your side, you can enjoy the joys of spring to the fullest. Schedule your spring cleaning with us today and let your home become a sanctuary of comfort throughout the spring season.

Contact your local Maidkart and get your spring cleaning scheduled!

The concept of spring cleaning is well-known. Yet, winter cleaning is rarely discussed in the same manner. As temperatures fall and the weather draws in, our homes are presented with unique challenges and that’s not just because we spend more time in them. Here at Maidkart, we’ve come up with some key considerations for managing your home in the colder, wetter winter months and making it a warm and inviting space you can’t wait to settle into.

Have a Plan for Managing Winter Clutter

Unlike in spring when you can slip on any old pair of shoes and perhaps a thin jacket, winter brings with it a whole host of excess clutter. Boots, hats, scarves, thick coats, and umbrellas all make their way into our homes after being at the back of the closet for months. Add in holiday decorations and it seems like our clutter-free summertime homes are long gone. Thankfully, Maidkart is here to help make your home cleaner this winter!

At the start of the winter season, we recommend having a plan for managing the influx of this seasonal attire. Here are some ideas:

  1. Designate specific storage areas for winter items like hats, scarves, gloves, and umbrellas. Use hooks and baskets to create an organized space for your family. This helps to prevent items from being scattered throughout your home.
  2. Invest in storage. If you don’t have enough storage for the amount of winter gear you’ve got, it’s time to invest. Otherwise, you’ll be fighting a losing battle each day. Choose functional furniture like benches with storage.
  3. Organize your shoe storage. Winter shoes are more bulky and dirtier. Make sure your shoe storage is organized to arrange footwear neatly and cleanly.

Create a Warm and Inviting Atmosphere at Home

When the temperatures drop, we naturally want our homes to feel cozier and inviting. Incorporating plush textiles like cushions and throws can add warmth to your living spaces. Pair this with scented candles and seasonal décor and your home will ooze warmth.

Tackle the Additional Dirt Winter Brings into the Home

Unfortunately, winter often calls for additional cleaning as the colder, wetter weather brings mud, snow, and salt indoors. Maidkart recommends having a routine that allows you to deal with the issue regularly so that dirt and dust don’t build up. Maidkart specializes in innovative and high-tech methods, our PUREcleaning system is a non-toxic cleaning process that allows us to create homes that are not only cleaner but also healthier. Ultimately, we aim to improve the quality of your home and your life.

For the day-to-day, the following will help manage dirt and grime between your Maidkart cleaning services:

  • Doormats at every entry point.
  • Regularly vacuuming and sweeping hallways and high-traffic areas.
  • Using a mop on hard floors regularly.
  • Using one specific entrance for coming in with muddy boots.
  • Outside storage for winter boots.

Keep your home clean and cozy this winter

As we adapt our lives for winter, we also need to adapt our homes and cleaning routines. Routine cleanings with Maidkart help keep the dirt and grime at bay while also saving you time during this busy season. You can come home to a sparkling clean after every visit so you’re ready to tackle the additional challenges the colder months bring. Add in comforting soft furnishings and warm lighting and we may never want the winter to end.

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. A HEPA filter is a high quality type of air filter designed to capture small particles, including dust, pollen, pet dander. These filters are incredibly efficient, trapping particles as small as 0.3 microns with a 99.97% efficiency. HEPA filters are known for their ability to improve indoor air quality, which is essential for a healthy home.

As a professional cleaning service, we use HEPA filtered vacuums because of the immense benefits for our cleaning teams and our customers. Here’s why:

  • Improved indoor air quality: HEPA filters trap and remove a wide range of airborne particles, including allergens, dust mites, and mold spores. This can lead to significant improvements in indoor air quality, especially for people with allergies or asthma.
  • Reduced risk of respiratory problems: Exposure to airborne allergens and other irritants can trigger respiratory problems such as asthma attacks and allergic reactions. By using a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove these particles from the air, you can reduce your risk of developing these problems.
  • Cleaner, healthier home: HEPA filtered vacuums remove more dirt, dust, and other allergens from your carpets and floors than traditional vacuums. This can help to create a cleaner, healthier home for you and your family.

Maidkart’s cleaning professionals are trained to use HEPA filtered vacuums effectively and efficiently. We understand the importance of proper vacuuming techniques and the significance of HEPA filtration in the cleaning process. We have always been committed to the highest quality cleaning supplies, including vacuums that improve indoor air quality!

If you want your home cleaning to be the highest standard in the industry in terms of cleaning quality and safety, PUREcleaning is the way to go. PUREcleaning is our unique cleaning process from Maidkart that guarantees the healthiest, safest, and most advanced cleaning.

PUREcleaning Is Safer and Better for All

Made out of an exclusive formula with salt water and electricity, the electrolyzed water (e-water) used in PUREcleaning protects your home, family, pets, plants, and the cleaning crew.

PUREcleaning is a combination of unique, gentle, and effective technology and processes. The key to this green technology is the cleaning agent used. This cleaning process makes Maidkart a better and safer professional cleaning company for your home and health compared to other alternatives. It’s effective on any kind of surface – from precious baby toys to food preparation areas. Along with being the safest, electrolyzed water is more effective than all other available cleaning products, which often uses harmful chemicals. By innovatively mixing salt and electricity, this state-of-the-art e-water cleaning solution effectively goes beyond green.

Combine this technology with the processes of actually carrying out the cleaning sessions at your home, and you get the complete PUREcleaning system.

The Three-Step Process Is Comprehensive & Effective

The first step involves removing all the surface area of dirt, dust, grime, and other debris. The use of HEPA-filtration vacuums for 4x improved air quality ensures 99.99% dust and dirt removal from all surfaces of your home.

After the initial removal of dust, debris, grime, and irritants is done, it’s time for deep cleaning using the proprietary PUREcleaning electrolyzed water and color-coded allergy-free, antibacterial cloths to eliminate cross-contamination between rooms.

Unlike regular cleaners that bond with dirt and grime, PUREcleaning e-water breaks them, enabling our crew to easily and completely eliminate them with color-coded cleaning clothes.

No dyes, chlorine, phosphates, or any other questionable elements that are commonly used in other everyday cleaning agents.

In the next stage, if requested, our crew carries out an additional layer of disinfection by spraying the PUREmist e-water with a handheld sprayer on the most sensitive and most used areas and surfaces of your house, like doorknobs, table surfaces, cabinet handles, and other such surfaces. 

That’s why, apart from being safe for you and your family, the PUREcleaning cleaning equipment and processes are totally safe for our Maidkart team. Being totally safe to breathe and touch, the e-water enables our cleaning crew to carry out their daily duties without any concerns and with full confidence.

In this spirit of maintaining the safety and health of our cleaning teams, we would like to commemorate National Housekeeping Week 2023. This is the opportune moment to express our gratitude towards all the members of the housekeeping community who are working diligently to keep families safe and healthy worldwide.

We also like to ascertain that, like always, Maidkart takes the wellbeing of our employees as seriously as we take that of our customers. And we sincerely appreciate their hard work to the fullest.

May is the Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. This month is the peak of the asthma and allergy season. About 1 in 13 people is living with asthma in the United States. But there are some factors in your home that can affect your asthma and/or allergies – regular house cleaning is one of them.*

Common Asthma and Allergy Triggers in the Home

A variety of factors in the home environment can trigger asthma and allergies. Here are some of the most common causes of asthma and allergies in the home:

  • Dust and dust mites are the most common trigger of asthma and allergy symptoms.
  • Mold growth in damp areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.
  • Pets, especially cats and dogs, shed dead skin cells (dander) and fur.
  • Pollen from trees, plants, and weeds often finds their way into our homes.
  • Some household cleaners, such as bleach and ammonia, release fumes.
  • Cockroaches, mice, and other pests can also cause allergic reactions.
  • Poor indoor air quality due to pollutants such as radon and carbon monoxide.
  • Perfumes and fragrances in household products, such as air fresheners and laundry detergents.

It’s important to identify and address these common causes of asthma and allergies in the home. Regular cleaning, proper ventilation, use of air purifiers, and allergy-proof covers and curtains can all be helpful.

Regular Home Cleaning Leaves Your Home Healthier for Longer

St. Louis Team Cleaning Bedroom

As you can see, almost all the common factors or causes of allergy or asthma symptoms found in the home can be effectively handled by regular, consistent house cleaning. For example, a biweekly cleaning schedule will prevent harmful buildup of dirt and dust that may contribute to asthma and allergies.

  • Regular cleanup prevents dust, dust mites, and grime buildup in critical areas like ceiling fans, light fixtures, air conditioning vents, air ducts, blinds, draperies, window frames, and seals.
  • Your mattresses, pillows, bedding, bedroom carpets, and upholstery are the important areas to keep clean when you have asthma or allergies. Regular washing of these items will help keep them fresh and clean.
  • Keeping your food storage and preparation areas clean removes the possibility of pests.
  • Regular cleaning also eliminates the possibility of mold build-up in the bathroom, kitchen, and basement.
  • When it comes to dealing with pet fur and dander, there’s simply no alternative to regular home cleaning sessions once a week or even more. Properly filtered vacuums like Maidkart’s HEPA filtration vacuums will lift pet dander, dirt, dust, and debris while also helping improve your home’s air quality.
  • Along with good ventilation, regular house cleaning also helps in keeping the overall air quality of your home pure by removing the amount of pollutants from your house.

Maidkart Offers the Best Cleaning for Asthma and Allergy

As part of our cleaning service, we use green cleaning equipment and processes to ensure you get only the best for you and your home environment.

  • Our cleaning methods limit dust displacement to an absolute minimum.
  • Color-coded, allergy-free, and antibacterial cloths eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination between rooms.
  • All the vacuum equipment uses HEPA filtration vacuums for 4x improved air quality.
  • Electrolyzed water solution kills mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses, reaching areas regular cleaning and traditional pump sprayers can’t.
  • No toxic, or harmful chemicals are used during any phase of the cleaning. You will have no residues or overpowering fragrant smells.
  • We ensure that the cleaning products we use have no artificial dyes or scents.

It’s important to recognize the impact of Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month in spreading awareness and helping individuals struggling with these conditions. At Maidkart, we are committed to doing our part. For over 35 years, we have been assisting our customers in finding comfort and feeling healthy in their home as well as sharing the impact of how a house cleaning service can benefit your overall well-being.

*You should always consult your doctor regarding your health and any medical concerns.

A lot of modern cleaning solutions take the approach that the more chemicals they contain the better – what better way to kill bacteria and harmful germs? Yet product recall after product recall shows that more chemicals aren’t necessarily the solution to the problem. Millions of bottles of Fabuloso have been recalled, with Laundress and Pine-Sol amongst the impacted cleaning products.

In fact, the driving issue behind these recalls is the presence of bacteria in the cleaning product itself. Pseudomonas are bacterial organisms found in water and soil and can impact human health. Pseudomonas present a unique risk to people who rely on external medical devices, have respiratory conditions, or live with a weakened immune system. It can enter the body through broken skin, the lungs, and the eyes. These bacteria can cause bloodstream infections, as well as pneumonia and a range of other infections.

It’s time to change the way we think about cleaning products and consider the power of non-toxic cleaning products. They are the safest solution and more effective than you might realize.

What is PUREcleaning?

PUREcleaning, exclusive to Maidkart, is one of the most advanced cleaning systems available today. It is an industry-leading solution that makes every environment safer, whether it’s your home or office. It’s a multi-point process designed to remove debris, dirt, and germs with a non-toxic solution. The first step is removing debris, dirt, and allergens by dusting and cleaning all of the surfaces using microfiber cloths. We have a color coding system to prevent the risk of cross-contamination between rooms. We use HEPA filtration vacuums to improve your indoor air quality.

Gentle, yet powerful non-toxic muti-surface cleaner.

Electrolyzed water is the next step in the process – it’s a clean, non-toxic solution that kills bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew without the presence of dyes and powerful chemical odors. Electrolyzed water combines the power of salt and electricity to produce a non-toxic, gentle cleaning solution that cleans and disinfects. It breaks down germs the moment it makes contact which fully sanitizes your surfaces. It offers a complete clean and does not leave a chemical residue.

The final stage employs Maidkart PUREmist®, which is a powerful EPA-registered disinfectant. This is dispersed using a hand-held sprayer that kills germs to keep your children and pets safe. This mist is applied to every surface in your home and can reach into the nooks and crannies other cleaning products can’t reach. PUREmist® kills germs on contact and bonds directly to surfaces.

Benefits of PURECleaning Products Compared to Traditional Cleaning Products

Traditional cleaning solutions contain a wide range of chemicals and rather than breaking down germs, they bond with them. This means that no matter how hard you wipe or how much elbow grease you apply, you leave harmful residue behind every time you clean. Your home becomes a safe space for bacteria, allergens, and dirt.

One of the major drawbacks of using traditional cleaning solutions is that chemicals leave powerful odors. For anyone with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues, this can trigger attacks. PUREcleaning doesn’t leave a chemical odor, but it does deliver on clean.

Studies have shown that eco-friendly cleaning solutions reduce the health risks of professional cleaners, with traditional cleaning solutions resulting in higher levels of respiratory, dermal, and even musculoskeletal symptoms.

Choose a Cleaning Service that Offers Eco-Friendly Cleanings for Your Home

With traditional cleaning solutions now at greater risk of contamination of the very thing they are designed to protect against, non-toxic cleaning solutions provide you with the safest cleaning possible. An eco-friendly cleaning is safe for the environment, and more importantly, they are safe for your environment. You can rely on non-toxic solutions to kill germs and keep your home crystal clean.

Preparing your home for a professional house cleaning is easy with Maidkart by your side. Preparations simply mean making sure our teams can effectively clean and reach all areas of your home when we provide our services.

With a few basic things in mind, preparing for a cleaning session would be a piece of cake!

Make Cleaning Areas Accessible

Ensure the areas that need to be cleaned are ready to be handled by our cleaning team. This means removing any personal objects that you don’t want to be meddled with from the countertop, floors, and other surfaces.

Communicate Your Expectations

If you hired an independent cleaner, you would need to spend a lot of time preparing your house for cleaning. On the contrary, our professional cleaning services ensure you do not have to worry about taking care of all the nitty-gritty details.

Just let us know your expectations beforehand. A few examples include:

  • Which areas to focus on the most?
  • Are there rooms you prefer we don’t clean this time around?

Integrate Your Preparations with Morning Routines

When you schedule regular cleaning service from Maidkart, such as, weekly or biweekly, the most effective way you can sustainably manage the preparatory tasks is to tie them with your morning routines.

Doing small tasks, like organizing any personal items, ensuring the cleaning team has easy entry into your home, and calling us about any special instructions will make your scheduled house cleaning go smoothly.

A Few Other Essentials

Here are a few basic things that you probably have already taken care of, but are important to your house cleaning experience.

  • Allow access to your professionals as per your security system.
  • Make sure to tell our team about any pets so we can ensure they are safe during your cleaning.
  • If you prefer, arrange your house cleaning when it is least disruptive to your routine.
  • Let us know ahead of time about any special tasks you’re looking for.
