I Creep, do you?

My Confession!

In my ongoing quest to be the best cleaning company in Richmond, I have a confession to make. I do not come up with all the customer pleasing methods such as being on time, courteous behavior from myself and my staff, thorough and consistent every visit, hiring only the most polite and well groomed staff on my own. I am a very moral and fair person and so, I have to give credit where credit is due.  I confess; I have read and will continue to read customer complaints about my competitors. The bad reviews on other cleaning companies are my classroom. The proof is in the pudding as we say. Of course I do realize I will have some complaints from some folks that are never happy unless they are critiquing someone. However, if we do happen to get negative feedback, I welcome the advice and love to listen and learn what not to ever do again! My customer’s suggestions or complaints fire me up to be even better than the best! Please do take the time to write about your bad experiences with other cleaning companies (please, no names) and of course leave your feedback on Domestic Touch as well here on my blog. Also, if you are pleased with our work, shout it out, we love braggers!

 

Till next time, have a healthy, happy and clean day!

A place for everything?

“The trouble with, "A place for everything and everything in its place" is that there's always more everything than places.”

― Robert Brault

 If you find that there is always more everything than places, then, it’s time to get to work. With the change of the seasons I always sense a desire to throw out the old to make room for the new.  I have found the most efficient way to start a deep spring cleaning is to make hard decisions…and three piles.

1. Keep

2. Give away

3. Toss

 Ask yourself the following questions about items that are in the way of your vacuum cleaner; Have I used it worn it or admired it over the last year? Has it been replaced by a newer model? Is it in disrepair? Could someone less fortunate use it?

 Once you have your 3 piles, take them off to their final resting place ASAP. Whether it is the local good will, the garage for the sale or an area waiting for pick up, out of site is the surest way to keep your commitments. The longer this stuff is within your reach, the greater the chance your ‘keep’ pile will grow!

Living a natural and healthy lifestyle is an investment in your future.

 Reducing clutter and eliminating chemicals from your life will extend and enrich your life as well as those around you and help to create a stress free life. Do it for you and do it for all who we share this earth with.

 Go to http://www.charitynavigator.org/ to decide where you will donate your unwanted or un-needed items. There are some organizations that will come to you for your unwanted items, big or small.

Plan a garage sale with your neighbors or family. Not only can you make some extra cash, you are helping out people in your community who cannot afford the everyday items that we take for granted.

Call us at Domestic Touch. We are the experts on deep cleaning, naturally and will put the final touch on your de-cluttering project! Scheduling weekly, biweekly or monthly cleaning days will help motivate you to stay organized.

Wishing you all a healthy and happy spring!

What is your definition of clean?

Mothers Day is next week. We have Gift Certificates!

Look for our deal on Living Social this month!

 

Clean can be a very subjective declaration. To some folks, clean means lack of clutter and to others, no visible dirt. To me, clean means spotless everywhere that can be seen or not. When I clean, I move everything that is not bolted down, wipe all sides, under the item and over it and then return it to the original place. Many of my customers only want this type of cleaning every 3-6 months and that is fine. Every other week we will do a surface cleaning which is basically all most people do in their homes. Domestic Touch home cleaners are trained to do the best job they can within the constraints of the clients time request using nothing but the natural products I hand mix and have researched to be most effective in cleaning and disinfecting. A first cleaning may take twice the amount of time a surface cleaning would but the investment really pays off. If you take care of your home and maintain deep cleanliness, it will always feel new and retain resale value.

The most obvious advantage of scheduling a cleaning every week or other week or every month, is to keep your household motivated to organize their personal items so that your common areas will always be ready to receive guests at a moments notice.         

I am happy to share my research and knowledge I have gained over the past several years with others. Knowing there are options to toxic substances used to clean and disinfect your home is invaluable to your family’s heath. Baby and pets can now crawl on your floors and not get toxic residue in their little bodies. Because you choose to use natural products to clean your home, you are most assuredly guarding your family against the effects of hazardous household chemicals. This is certainly worth scrubbing a little harder. Whether we clean your home or you switch to natural cleaners and do it yourself, the outcome is the same. We are invested and passionate about helping you maintain your health. Let us do the dirty work, naturally.

Wishing you and yours a clean and happy day!
