Green Cleaning, Is it Worth the Cost?
24 Sep 2010 Leave a Comment
Green Cleaning cost so much! Why is it worth it? The hippies had it figured out in the early 60’s, peace, love, and respect for mother earth, but how does that relate to today’s culture. It seems everywhere you look, companies are promoting “going green”. But, is this just a popular slogan, or are there real benefits to going green.
This is not a science blog, so I’ll leave all the serious number crunching to those techie blogs and look at it from my perspective. The world’s population is exploding, literally, and with this explosion there also comes an explosion in consumption. It’s anti-capitalism to preach about leading a conservative lifestyle, but how long can we continue to deplete our natural resources before we run out. Oooopps, stepping back off the soap box. Other writes have expressed it far better than I, but you get the point.
Cleaning is something every household, does. Well, at least I hope they do. And as such, each household gets the opportunity to choose what products they use. The EPA can tell you about.” Excessive phosphate blooms”
But who has a clue what that means. However, it’s just common sense. Do you really want unnecessary chemicals around your family. It may take year before the science labs determine what all the common chemical do during a life time of exposure.
Tell me what you think about it. Are you willing to pay extra, and if so how much to use cleaners that pass the “green” test even if it means it cost a little more?
Bathrooms a Mess — OH My!
08 Sep 2010 Leave a Comment
What is your least favorite part about house cleaning? Most would say it’s cleaning the bathroom. So let’s make an attack plan to do it as quickly as possible.
First, get organized. You need a bucket carry all the bathroom cleaning supplies including:
- soap scum and mildew remover
- surface cleaner; window cleaner
- toilet bowl cleaner
- rags
- paper towels
- sponges
- scrub brushes
- floor cleaner
Second, prep the bathroom. Make room to work by taking out all dirty clothes, towels, and bath mats. Do a general reorganization by putting everything else back in place.
Start with the shower. Generally it is the most time consuming of the tasks. Start by pre-soaking the shower scum so that it is easier to remove later. While the scum softens, you can clean the shower curtain, door and track. Then turn your attention back to the scrubbing the scum. When it’s gone, rinse with water to rid yourself of any other loose dirt or chemicals.
The toilet comes next. Spay some toilet bowl cleaner inside of the toilet and let it soak. While it soaks, clean the tank lid. Using a brush, clean the inside of the toilet bowl, use disinfectant wipes on the toilet seat, the rim of the bowl and both sides of the lid and finally, the base of the toilet.
The hard part is now done. You can start on the sinks including the faucets and then move on to the counter tops and the pedestal part of a pedestal sink.
The mirrors are next to last. Use a glass cleaner (or vinegar and water) with a dust free rag to clean these. Finally, mop your way out of the bathroom. Once it dries, come back to replace clean towels and washcloths.
If this still sounds like too much work. I would be glad to help you out in the Austin area. Visit my Austin Maid Service website.
