Cleaning tips & Resources

---

Keep your home or business looking its best with simple, effective cleaning habits:

• Clean high-touch surfaces daily (light switches, doorknobs, remotes)
   
• Use microfiber cloths to trap dust instead of spreading it
   
• Vacuum slowly and in multiple directions for a deeper clean
   
• Don’t forget overlooked spots—baseboards, behind doors, ceiling fans
   
• Use natural deodorizers like baking soda for odor control
   
• Disinfect bathrooms and kitchen sinks at least once a week
   
• Keep a cleaning caddy stocked for quick touch-ups on busy days

Stay ahead of seasonal mess and maintenance with these proactive cleaning tips to help your home or property stay fresh, functional, and guest-ready year-round.

Spring & Summer Prep

• Deep Clean Windows, Screens, and Sills
  After a long winter, windows collect dust, grime, and pollen. Clean inside and out, wash the screens, and wipe down sills to let in more sunlight and fresh air.
   
• Clear Dust and Allergens from Vents and Ceiling Fans
  Warmer weather increases airflow—but it can also spread allergens. Use a microfiber cloth or vacuum attachment to clean air vents and fan blades for better indoor air quality.
   
• Pressure Wash Patios, Walkways, and Siding
  Outdoor surfaces accumulate mildew, dirt, and pollen. Pressure washing gives your exterior a fresh look and helps prevent long-term wear and buildup.
   
• Clean Outdoor Furniture and Grills
  Get ready for outdoor gatherings by scrubbing patio furniture, cushions, and the grill. Remove cobwebs, rust, and buildup to create a more inviting space.
   
• Rotate and Freshen Bedding and Linens
  Swap out heavy winter blankets for lighter fabrics. Take the opportunity to wash duvets, mattress covers, and curtains to reduce dust mites and allergens.
   

Fall & Winter Prep

• Clean and Inspect Fireplaces, Chimneys, or Heating Vents
  Before firing up your heat, make sure it's clean and safe. Remove debris and dust, and consider a professional chimney inspection for wood-burning fireplaces.
   
• Deep Clean Carpets and Upholstery Before Holiday Traffic
  With more guests and indoor activity during colder months, it's smart to remove summer dust and prepare soft surfaces for high use.
   
• Organize Closets and Donate Unused Clothing
  Rotate seasonal wardrobes, store summer wear, and take the opportunity to declutter. Donating gently used items keeps your home organized and helps your community.
   
• Wash Windows Inside and Out Before Winter Sets In
  Clean windows one last time before cold weather makes it harder. Sparkling glass lets in more light during shorter days and improves overall appearance.
   
• Disinfect High-Touch Areas to Reduce Cold/Flu Spread
  As flu season begins, increase sanitation of doorknobs, remotes, countertops, and handrails. This small step helps protect your household or office through the winter months.
   

Post-construction cleaning is the final step that brings a project to life. It’s more than just tidying up—it’s about safety, presentation, and protecting your reputation. Here’s why hiring a professional cleanup team is essential:

• Removes Hazardous Debris Like Nails, Dust, and Residue
  Construction zones leave behind sharp objects, drywall dust, and chemical residue that can pose risks to workers and future occupants. A thorough cleanup ensures the site is safe, clean, and code-compliant.
   
• Prepares the Property for Final Walk-Throughs and Inspections
  First impressions matter. A professionally cleaned space is inspection-ready and allows your work to shine during walkthroughs with clients, inspectors, or new tenants.
   
• Ensures the Finished Space Looks Polished and Move-In Ready
  Even high-end finishes lose their impact under dust and smudges. Post-construction cleaning highlights your craftsmanship and ensures every surface looks its best.
   
• Helps Maintain Your Reputation with Clients, Inspectors, and Future Tenants
  Delivering a spotless final product reflects your professionalism and attention to detail—two things clients remember when it’s time for referrals or repeat business.
   
• Saves Time and Money by Reducing the Need for Touch-Ups
  A professional team identifies and removes debris that could cause scratches or damage during final staging. It reduces callbacks and costly rework due to rushed or incomplete cleaning.
   
• Demonstrates Your Commitment to Quality and Excellence
  A clean finish shows you don’t just build well—you finish well. It reinforces your dedication to delivering a turnkey project, from groundbreaking to handover.

Want to boost bookings and earn consistent 5-star reviews? A clean, well-prepared space is one of the biggest factors in guest satisfaction. These expert tips will help you stand out and create memorable guest experiences.

• Use a Professional Cleaning Service Between Every Guest Stay
  Consistency is key. A professional cleaning team ensures the property is spotless, sanitized, and guest-ready every time—no missed spots or rushed turnovers.
   
• Keep Essential Supplies Stocked
  Guests notice when basics are missing. Always have toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish detergent, and trash bags available. Consider keeping extras in a labeled cabinet.
   
• Provide a Detailed Welcome Book or Guest Guide
  Include check-in instructions, Wi-Fi info, local recommendations, emergency contacts, and house rules. A thoughtful guide sets expectations and reduces guest questions.
   
• Stage the Space with Thoughtful Touches
  Little details make a big impression. Neatly folded towels, fresh throw pillows, welcome notes, or local snacks add warmth and hospitality that guests remember.
   
• Inspect and Clean Less Obvious Areas
  Under beds, behind furniture, and inside drawers are often overlooked—but guests notice. Deep cleaning these areas regularly shows you care about every detail.
   
• Encourage Guests to Leave Feedback and Respond Quickly
  A follow-up message asking for feedback shows professionalism and attentiveness. Respond to reviews and inquiries promptly—positive engagement builds trust and reputation.
   
• Schedule Regular Deep Cleanings
  Beyond routine turnovers, quarterly deep cleans keep your property in top shape—tackling buildup, wear-and-tear, and preparing for peak season bookings.

More and more families and businesses are choosing to clean green—and for good reason. Eco-friendly cleaning is better for your health, your home, and the environment. Here’s how to make the switch to safer, smarter solutions:

Natural Alternatives to Harsh Chemicals

Swap out traditional chemical cleaners with safer, plant-based options that are just as effective:

• White Vinegar – Great for cutting grease, cleaning glass, and deodorizing
   
• Baking Soda – Acts as a natural scrub for sinks, tubs, and odors
   
• Lemon Juice – Disinfects and leaves a fresh, natural scent
   
• Castile Soap – A plant-based, multipurpose soap for surfaces, dishes, and more
   
• Hydrogen Peroxide – A safer disinfectant for bathrooms and kitchens
   

Make your own eco-friendly cleaners at home using simple ingredients:

• All-Purpose Cleaner:
  1 part white vinegar + 1 part water + a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or tea tree)
  → Great for counters, sinks, and general surfaces.
   
• Natural Scrub Paste:
  ½ cup baking soda + small amounts of water to form a paste
  → Perfect for tough grime in tubs, stovetops, or grout.
   
• Glass Cleaner:
  1 cup water + 1 cup vinegar + 1 tbsp rubbing alcohol
  → Streak-free shine for windows and mirrors.
   

Choosing non-toxic products isn’t just about going green—it’s about creating a safer space for those you care about most:

• Reduces exposure to harmful fumes and residues
   
• Safer for crawling infants and pets who are close to the floor
   
• Less risk of allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or skin irritation
   
• Supports indoor air quality and a healthier home overall
