Many people realize the benefits of having a professional clean their home on a regular basis, especially if they suffer from dust mite or other allergies, or have a sensitivity to cleaning products and want something entirely green and safe.
John Pletz, CEO of ServiceMaster Clean by Pletz, based in Crystal Lake, Illinois, says that a professional clean can help with a lot of the more arduous household tasks, and should be called regularly to perform duties that most homeowners are not equipped to deal with themselves. They include:
Cleaning carpets and floors: Carpets collect dirt no matter how much you vacuum, and if you dont extract the dirt regularly you can breathe it in the air. Unclean carpets can actually make your building dusty.
Cleaning difficult to access upholstery: Make sure a professional attends to furniture on a regular basis.
Cleaning tiles and grout: Can give new life to old tiles.
Washing walls: Makes a building look like new.
However, ServiceMaster Clean recommends that homeowners perform the following themselves, in between professional cleanings:
Blot spills quickly with a clean dry cloth
Vacuum at least once a week
Change air filters in your home
Use a dust mask if prone to sensitivity when cleaning
Keeping a home clean is important. Its not difficult " but youve got to know how. Having a professional cleaner come in at least several times a year may sound costly, but in the long run it can actually save you money. Think of the cost of buying new carpets, new furniture or even a new oven " a regular professional cleaning will keep all those items in good shape and make their replacement unnecessary.
Remember, you live in your home. You not only want it look clean, but you want it to be clean in every room of the house.
