These are all the areas we can cover at Athens Cleaning Services.
House cleaning in Athens Ga is not at the top of most families’ list of the “dying to do” things and IF you let your mind wander too much, then you’ll spend the entire day and only get a fourth of the things on the above list done. Concentrate on the task at hand… Clean what needs to be cleaned. Vacuum where it needs to be vacuumed… clean the floors where dirt rests.
Remember your time is valuable and if your mind wanders you will learn to hate house cleaning. If you are organized, then cleaning a house in Athens Georgia can be a very short task. Our teams will come in and because we know what we are doing, we are usually out in less than two hours at the most.
Athens Cleaning Services will clean top to bottom, back to front, right to left and work our way around the entire room… cleaning as we go… one area at a time. One important tip is to make sure you carry your cleaning supplies with you in a basket or cleaning bucket so you don’t waste time having to go back to retrieve them.
Make a schedule for yourself and stick with it. The mess gets worse the longer you put it off. If the house is too big, hit a floor at a time, or clean all the bathrooms on Mondays. If you are too busy to do this yourself, then Athens Cleaning Services can help you any month.
Our average client will stay with us for years because they discover all the things they could be doing instead of house cleaning.
Make sure to look for your trouble spots, and determine how you’re going to get them cleaned up. Do you need any special cleaning products? Is soap scum or mold and mildew taking over the bath? Select the tools you’ll need, and who you can assign the task to. Our teams at Athens Cleaning Services have a very detailed checklist and we aim to please each and every customer.
Listen to what Kathleen Sakal at Lake Oconee Elks Lodge says about us:
“I wanted to thank C&C Janitorial Service for doing such a wonderful cleaning job at the Lake Oconee Elks Lodge last month. Michelle and her crew knocked themselves out to ensure that the kitchen and prep room were spic and span. The four person team barely took a break as they worked for 9 hours on this monumental task. Lodge members were delighted with the results.
The team had to work around the cooking staff in the latter part of the day. They were consistently polite and cooperative in a cramped situation. Your team went above and beyond to ensure that the Lake Oconee Elks were satisfied customers. Thanks again.”
If you are doing this yourself, get help. If there are others living and breathing in the house with you, who are most certainly contributing to the mess, get them to help. My favorite is to assign tasks to each child for a week at time, and rotate tasks. Don’t forget to throw in deep cleaning items, like the mess under the sink, or spraying down and wiping the trash compactor.
Gather all your cleaning supplies and place in a bucket. Don’t waste time running around getting a broom or cleaners or whatever you need to complete the task that you’re doing. Your bucket should contain glass cleaner, disinfectant, detergent degreaser, soup scum remover, comet, soft scrub, scrub brush, sponge, toothbrush, and a green scrubber for starters.
Use the right products for the right job… At Athens Cleaning Services we have tested many products out to make sure we were using quality cleaning products that work and are safe for your house.
Use natural cleaning products if possible. We don’t use fancy products but it’s important to use good quality, heavy duty cleaning products that do a great job. This doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money either.
If all these steps seem overwhelming, the Athens Cleaning Services is here to help you…
Just give us a call at 706-363-0247.
