Searching for house cleaning service

So how do I find house cleaning services?

You’ve probably never thought about the question before and are probably wondering, “How will I find a perfect house cleaning service?” Well, you have come to the right place! In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of finding the perfect house cleaning service that meets your needs, ensuring a clean and organized home that you can be proud of.

Determine what house cleaning service you need

It’s necessary to evaluate your specific cleaning needs before looking for house cleaning services. Take into account the size of your house, the areas you want cleaned, and any particular services or needs you may have. You can choose a house cleaning company that provides the correct range of housekeeping services specifically designed for your home by determining your cleaning needs.

Ask for recommendations​

Finding a trustworthy house cleaning service by asking friends, relatives, or neighbors for suggestions is one of the best methods to do it. Ask them about their past experiences using cleaning services. Personal referrals can offer insightful information about the reliability and quality of a house cleaning company giving you confidence in choosing one. Finding a house cleaning service that has an established track record and has completed high-quality work for people you know can increase your confidence in who you are hiring.

Ask for recommendation

Research and check online reviews

Spend some time researching and reading online feedback on various house cleaning services in the area. Pay attention to both positive and negative reviews to get a balanced view of the service’s strengths and weaknesses. This can give you a sense of the quality of work the service provides and how satisfied customers have been.

Ask and Inquire about services and pricing

Get quotations from several house cleaning companies. By doing so, you can compare costs and pick a service that is within your pricing range. Ask the house cleaning service you are considering about the variety of services they provide. Make sure their services are in line with your specific needs. Additionally, to maintain transparency and prevent any unforeseen expenditures, ask for a detailed breakdown. 

Visit their website and social media channels

You may check their business’s work, trustworthiness, and credibility via websites and social media platforms. You will probably get the majority of the answers you’re looking for on their website and social media profile. Check out their services, deals, and promotions to see if anything fits your needs. Additionally, you can communicate directly and ask questions.

Bonus tip

Look for a house cleaning service that is committed to professionalism. A company that is bonded and insured, keeping both clients and company secure throughout the entire cleaning process. And finally, a house cleaning service that takes pride in their work and believes in giving back to its community. Just like My Elite Clean.

House Cleaning for Busy Moms 

ELITE TIPS

How Do I Keep The Home Clean? House Cleaning for Busy Moms

Like a lot of families in 2023, Rod and I make house cleaning a family affair, both here at Casa de Myers and at work. LOL see what we did there?!

But we know there are still plenty of Busy Moms out there with full plates, who take the lead role in taking care of their home and their families’ day-to-day needs. Since we’ve never met a mom who wasn’t looking for ways to improve their efficiency and find time for more enjoyable tasks; we’ve packed this week’s blog with time-saving house cleaning tips for busy moms.

New moms, single moms, working moms, and stay-at-home moms… this one’s for you! 

How do I keep the home clean

Five quick and easy house cleaning techniques to help you get some time back.

1. Multitask, but keep it a light duty.
Imagine accomplishing twice as much in a day? Cool, right! While you wait for your coffee to brew you can wipe down your kitchen counters. Or, start a load of laundry before you start some much needed family time. Then when you transition out of that family time, or take a quick break, you can switch it over. I love to fold a basket of fresh clean clothes in front of my favorite Netflix show, after my kids are in bed. It’s the perfect way to chill out and get points for keeping the house clean.
2. Establish an easy house cleaning routine

Have a simple cleaning routine and clean certain areas when it makes the most sense. Make your bed before you leave your room in the morning so it doesn’t stress you out at bedtime.  Get the kids to help you tidy up their mess before moving on to something new, so the mess doesn’t accumulate and overwhelm you later. Wipe down your shower walls right after you take a shower, why not?! They’re easier to clean when they are steamy!

3. Make cleaning a little more fun

Listen to music or podcasts while you clean: This can make cleaning more enjoyable and help pass the time. Try to listen to a meditation or a motivational podcast – but not something that needs to be watched as that would be distracting. This will help you to keep your deep focus on the task at hand and can motivate you all throughout the day.

4. Have multiples

The Laundry can be NEVER ENDING! It can be frustrating and time-consuming. Have multiple sets of sheets and towels so you don’t have to do laundry as often.

5. Freshen up your home effortlessly
Find ways to keep your home fresh that take no time or effort at all.  Plug in a diffuser and let the scent of your favorite essential oil blend make your home smell clean, fresh and welcoming.  Better yet, take an even more natural approach by bringing the clean scent of nature inside with potted flowers and plants. Not only do they smell great, they’re also known to help improve the air quality in your home.

6. Hire a professional house cleaning company, like My Elite Clean

To take care of the essential cleaning tasks that need to be done regularly. Think dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, kitchens and more. When these tasks are off your list, you can focus on other tasks and maybe even save some time for yourself! 

House cleaning doesn’t have to be as hard as it sounds. Your housework doesn’t have to get in the way of caring for your family and enjoying life. 

Now that we’ve shared some of our best house cleaning tips for busy moms, we bet you’ve got a few of your own.  We’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

A house cleaning company near you?

ELITE TIPS

Looking for a house cleaning company near you?
Is hiring a cleaner worth it?

These are valid questions! People genuinely want to know if what we do is worth their hard earned money.

 If you’ve ever searched for “a house cleaning company near me”, then you’ve seen just how many results come back. Just how do you choose? We’re going to spend the next few blogs sharing some of the answers to your top questions about house cleaning companies, including “is hiring a cleaner worth it?”

MEC- Is Hiring a Cleaner Worth It

So is hiring a cleaner worth it?

To answer this question we first need to look at what a good cleaner does when they come to  clean your home. A typical cleaning company would include the following services in their standard packages. Now this may not be what everyone does, but it’s definitely what the professional service providers I know do.

  • General dusting
  • All floors; sweep/vacuum and mop
  • Clean moving glass (front and sliding doors)
  • Clean exterior of kitchen appliances (plus interior of microwaves)
  • Wipe light switch plates
  • Empty trash cans as needed
  • General straightening completed
  • Kitchen and bathroom sinks, countertops, toilets, shower, tub (clean, sanitize, polish) as well as all glass, mirrors. and chrome

Ok, so now we have a basic idea of what they will do when you hire a cleaner to clean your home. So now let’s look at the time you save by letting someone else do the housework. Let’s consider how many other things you can accomplish in the time you would spend cleaning before you hired a cleaner. Look at all the time you just freed up to spend with your kids, or to look after yourself.

I know, I know. “But hiring a cleaner is expensive”. We hear it all the time. But take a second look at that list above. How long would it take you to do all of that cleaning? Would you enjoy it? Could your time be better spent doing something – anything else – besides cleaning?

When was the last time you did something for just you?

Let’s face it, as moms, wives, employees, even employers we are always putting others first and leaving ourselves at the very bottom of the “take care of” list. You know what I’m talking about. The kids “need” to have that new game, your spouse must have those new golf clubs, even the dog gets a spa day before you’d ever think of doing something for just you. So why not spoil yourself just a little and let someone else clean up the house for you? Think about what hiring a cleaner means for you. Someone else can empty those smelly garbage cans, clean the toilets and mop the floors. Sounds good, right?? You are finally taking care of you!

Still not quite convinced that
hiring a house cleaning company near you is worth it?
Keep Reading!

What will you do with this new found free time?

I can think of a few things now that you are hiring a cleaner!

  • Read that book that you have wanted to ready for ages
  • Grab a glass of your favorite wine and sit out on the patio enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
  • Go to the gym (or not!)
  • Have lunch with some friends you have seen in forever
  • Take a nap! (Don’t worry, we won’t tell!)
  • Take up a new hobby
  • Do a little gardening
  • Explore the City

Whatever you want really! This is time you are creating just for yourself, so don’t even think of trying to justify it to others. Just grab it, enjoy it and have no regrets. You have earned this after all. Hiring a house cleaning company near you is worth it! There is no doubt about it.

Mom Smarter, Not Harder

ELITE TIPS

Mom Smarter, Not Harder

Five easy ways to manage everything on your (very) full Mom plate
Juggling full-time jobs, trying to get kids up and ready for school, taking care of everything in the house (the laundry is piling up again!) – it’s no wonder we are ex-haust-ed. And we haven’t even mentioned the invisible list of “stuff” no one knows about but still has to get done around the house. The Avengers have got nothing on you, Mom!  And while this is a testament to your awesomeness, being a “superhero” can also take its toll. It’s okay to admit it. Juggling can be a struggle, Mom!
Mom smarter, not harder MEC
Mom smarter, not harder - its ok to lighten your load mom

It’s OK to lighten your load, Mom!

“But I’m a mom. Being busy is part of the package.”

“If I don’t do it, who will?”

“I’d feel guilty if I hired someone to do that.”

We’ve all been there! Let me remind you again:

“It’s okay not to do everything yourself.”

Reread it one more time. 

“It’s okay not to do everything yourself.”

You see, the problem with getting everything done is that chances are, you won’t. You’ve only got a limited number of hours per day (and time travel hasn’t been invented yet). And when you do get close to getting it all done, you end up burnt out, exhausted, a little (or a lot) snappy, and resentful that you have to do it all again tomorrow. Because as you know, there are no holidays for moms. 

So what are your options? How about, Mom smarter, not harder.

Five ways to save time by sharing the load

1. Team up and ask for help

Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Just because your daughter needs to get to soccer doesn’t mean you have to be the one to drive her. Coordinate with other parents on the team and see how you can set up a carpool—taking turns once a week can save you a lot of time and free you up to do other essential tasks, or even sit with a magazine and some good tunes. What’s great about this approach is it also works for helping with homework and even meal prep (lasagna exchange, anyone?).

2. Delegate household chores to your kids and partner

Kids (and spouses!) can learn a lot from doing chores themselves. They can even gain an appreciation for how much you do on the daily. To keep them on track, create a board with a checklist of all tasks and their deadlines. Increase the fun factor with rewards for a job well done!

By the way, don’t forget to give them a proper “orientation” on getting chores done. Or you’ll find yourself fixing it later.

3. Get organized and use technology to automate tasks

There are apps for virtually everything these days—from keeping track of chores to scheduling who needs a ride and even your grocery lists. Stay organized and remind everyone of what needs to be done. Apps can help you stay on track without lifting another finger.

4. Arrange for a babysitter

Sometimes all you need is a couple of hours to get things crossed off your list. So when the kids are home and you are running short on time, call in reinforcements. Make arrangements with other moms in the neighborhood to take turns to watch your kids. Know a young adult looking for babysitting gigs? Keep them on speed dial. If Grandma is close by, watching the kids is likely one of her favorite pastimes!

Arranging childcare can be a total time and sanity saver for those days where there are just too many things going on. 

5. Tag in the professionals

Sometimes there aren’t enough hands or hours in a day to get everything done, like buying milk and bread for breakfast. But that’s okay. There are options like grocery pick-up and delivery services available that are huge time savers. You can also hire cleaning services like our experienced team at My Elite Clean. We’re the affordable and efficient white-glove cleaning service that clients trust. Because we make it easy (and stress-free) to keep your home sparkling and fresh. Be the envy of all your friends. They will want to know how you do it all and still have time for R&R!

Time to tackle tomorrow, better!

Congratulations, Mom! You’ve made it through another day. We know that there never seems to be enough time in the day for housework between work and taking care of the family. That’s why our professional team of detailed-oriented cleaners is standing by, ready to sweep your home back into shape. 

So if you’re ready to cross off “clean the house” on your to-do list, Book Us Today. 

We’ll take care of everything, while you enjoy well-deserved rest!

Love is in the air at Casa de Myers

What does LOVE have to do with house cleaning?!

EVERYTHING!

Love is in the air all around us this time of year!

Valentine’s Day brings out the romance in all of us, and Casa de Myers is no exception!

We love Valentine’s Day and the fact that you get to show your love for not just your spouse (although he is pretty fabulous!), but also for the rest of your loved ones – sons, daughters, and especially grandkids! Although we like to do the typical flowers, dinner and candy, we also love to spoil our grandkids just a little (ok, a lot!). I’m not sure how much their mom appreciates the sugar high, but that’s the job of a grandparent isn’t it? Wind them up and send them back to their parents.

Rod and I love the time we get to spend with each other on Valentine’s Day and we are thankful each and every day to have our family, friends and each other. With the busy lives we all seem to live in today’s hectic world, finding time to spend with your loved ones can be tough with everything else going on in life. From running the kids from this activity to that activity, working, volunteering and making sure the house is presentable, it can be a challenge to squeeze in time for what really matters.

Why Hire Cleaning Services Before the Holiday Season?

ELITE TIPS

Why Hire Cleaning Services Before the Holiday Season?

The holiday season is a time to welcome family and friends into your home. See your house through their eyes before they arrive. Remove those tiny cobwebs between the hinges and get the thin layer of dust off your surfaces before the guests arrive. Click here for a quote on holiday house cleaning in Blue Springs, MO. While the holiday season is a good reason in and of itself, let us give you several more to clean your house.

Get Enough Sleep Before the “Sleepless Season”

We don’t know if you know this, but homes that host family and friends for the holidays lose 2.5 hours of sleep on average during their stay. If you’re also expecting people to stay the night or week, you might want to get enough sleep in the bag to lose the odd hour. You can’t exactly do that if you’re preparing the home for the guests. Invite our experts to tick cleaning off your to-do list while you:
  • Decorate your home
  • Cook your holiday feast
  • Set out the tableware
Leave the old and new clutter to our specialists to avoid putting in long hours before your guests arrive.

Leave a Clean Slate Before Going on a Holiday

If you’re among the 47% of Americans traveling during the holiday season, you might want to return to a spotless home. Recruit our deep cleaning services before leaving because we know how busy the days leading up to a vacation can be—with all the packing, arranging the travel itinerary, tying loose ends, and making a note of all the last-minute items that need to go into tour luggage. The tasks of packing and getting ready to leave may also leave your home in disarray that your tired self doesn’t want to return to.

One Less Reason to Stress Out

Did you know cleanliness is closely linked with lower stress levels? During one of the merriest yet busiest times of the year, wouldn’t it be nice to have one less reason to stress out?

Women with cluttered homes report higher levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. Conversely, people with clean and organized homes display better physical health than those who walk or run for it.

All to say: Keep a clean and organized home this holiday season. If you don’t have the time for it, don’t shy away from the professional help at My Elite Clean. We’re the top-rated house cleaning service in Missouri due to our experience and expertise. There’s nothing we haven’t seen before.

3 Company Events that Require Professional Cleaning Services

ELITE TIPS

3 Company Events that Require Professional Cleaning Services

As a Kansas-based office manager, you already have too much on your plate. Add hosting a corporate event to all that, and things can get out of control fast. Call our professional cleaning services in Kansas City to prep the meeting room and deal with the aftermath of an office party, birthday, or formal conference that gets a little out of hand once the food and drinks are served.

1.Conference or Meeting

If you run an office, you’re bound to reserve boardrooms for conferences and meetings—that’s par for the course where team-building is concerned, especially for traditional office-based models.

While you must ensure your surfaces are near-reflective by hiring office cleaning services before the fact, you should keep these rooms clean because you might get visitors on short notice.

By keeping boardrooms clean, conference or no conference, you’re always ready to impress clients, administrators, auditors, and other valued guests.

2.Calls for a Celebration!

Nothing screams success better than a company that reaches important milestones and gets to celebrate achievements like anniversaries, repeat clients, massive deals, and executive retirements.

Celebrating these milestones is essential to recognize the hard work of your staff. However, you don’t want to see the result of your celebration the day after, not longer than it takes a cleaning company to come in and tidy up the place anyway.

3.Holiday Party

The holiday season is right around the corner, and we have it on good authority that 3 out of 4 companies are planning office holiday parties for their employees. In this increasingly unpredictable world, who knows if they’ll even get the chance to throw one next year?!

Holiday office parties usually involve alcohol, late nights, and embarrassing dance moves. In light of day, all of this could lead to stray party decorations, not to mention spilled food and drinks. Hire commercial office cleaning the day before the party and the very next day, so you’re more tempted to do a repeat come next year.

Cleaning Issues the Next Day: What to Expect?

In the harsh and unfiltered morning light, you’re likely to detect the following cleaning-related issues spread around the former party venue:

Bits of trash all over the place

  • Decoration in place that needs to be taken down
  • Spilled food and beverages
  • Mysterious stains on the carpeting, floorboards, walls, and furniture
  • Mysterious stains on the sinks and cabinetry
  • Displaced tables, chairs, and, weirdly enough, plants
  • Dirty restrooms

How to Keep the Peace (and the Tidiness) When You Have a Pet

ELITE TIPS

How to Keep the Peace (and the Tidiness) When You Have a Pet

Raising a pet is like raising a baby, except the baby never grows up. Therefore, you’re left to contend with presents like dead mice on your porch and pet hair everywhere, even on your contact lenses (true story!).

It’s always better to call our residential cleaning services when your pet’s latest shenanigans leave an unholy mess. However, here’s what you can do the rest of the time.

A Dog Sitting Beside a Person Lying Down Covered in Birthday Decorations and NeedingResidential Cleaning Services in Kansas City

Start with Your Pet

There is no such thing as an introverted dog. They have all made peace with going out for the odd pee break and walk. When they get back, things might get gnarly for their parents.

If your dog has rolled through a muddy trail or wet their coats, they’re bound to bring it home. You can keep them confined to one area before they cause too much damage. We’d choose the kitchen or laundry room because they’re made for easy cleaning.

Once there, you should give them a quick rinse with tap water and only use a pet shampoo if they’re due a grooming routine.

Change or Cover Your Couch

The slightest stain or pet hair can show up on a couch with too light or too dark upholstery. It’s even worse for those who own cats and have leather or textured couches. Kitties love fraying at leather, and their claws usually get stuck in a textured upholstery.

Architectural Digest recommends flat fabrics in a neutral color for pet owners looking to replace their couches. You could also match your couch with your pet’s coat to disguise hair and stains.

The paper also recommends placing a scratching post near the couch or, if you can’t bear to scooch them off your couch, placing a clean throw over the upholstery and chucking it in the washer at the end of the day.

Clean Your Pet's Property

There’s no denying that having a pet turns you into a loving parent, and you want to provide them with everything, like a decent bed, several leashes, and toys. Since these things can draw odor and dirt, they can spread throughout your house through your pet.

Therefore, you must clean/wash these items every week. If they aren’t machine washable, you can hand wash them at the sink and leave them out to dry naturally.

Rest of the Time: Hire Our Top-Rated House Cleaning Service in Kansas City

Maid services can be a must for people who own pets. Keep your house organized, clean, and free of stray fur by hiring our professional house cleaning in Kansas City. You can also book a single or recurring deep cleaning with our cleaning experts to https://myeliteclean.wpenginepowered.com/house-cleaning-kansas-city/make your house shine, especially the day after a pet party at your place.
