DIY SPRING CLEANING - BATHROOM

Let’s face it-no one likes to ‘Spring Clean’. It involves a personal and up close confrontation with you, your stuff and your shopping habits. We buy stuff-it seemed like a good idea at the time but months later…there it sits unused, possibly expired or growing like a science experiment gone horribly awry.
The worst offenders are the kitchen and bathroom-in that order. Let’s deal with the bathroom shall we? If you can commit 10-15 minutes a day, you’ll have this room in order inside of a week. If you’re ambitious, you can do this in about an hour.
We’ll start easy and work our way to difficult. You’ll need a trash bag, a good will box and the cleaning products of your choice.
1. Medicine cabinet/Under Sink Cabinet- if it’s more than a year old, if you can’t remember why you have it or it’s a I *might* need this someday-toss it. Wasn’t that simple? Now wipe out the cabinet, the shelves and the door-front and back. 
The goal is not to rush out and buy replacement stuff you will throw away next year. Instead, free up some other valuable bathroom real estate by putting items in the medicine cabinet. Besides, the bathroom is the WORST place to keep medicine…and perfume. Humidity really does a number to both of ‘em.
2. Sink Counters/Toilet Lid-this is valuable real estate. If it’s cluttered with decorative stuff aka dust collectors, time to thin out the herd to the best pieces (read: pretty AND functional) and put the rest in the goodwill box.
If your counter is a wasteland of hair/skin/personal products, throw out the stuff that isn’t working for you. If you have gadgetry that you meant to use but didn’t-goodwill. Broken gadgets go in the trash. No you’re not going to fix them one day…no really you aren’t.
Tip: Sticking to personal care products that work for you-even if they are pricey-saves you money in the long run.
Wipe down the counter, sink and faucet. Cross it off the list!
3. Toilet-first things first. If you have a drop in, clip on or any other kind of toilet cleaner/freshener in there-THROW IT OUT. No it’s not my green cleaning showing. The drop ins eat away at the inner workings in your toilet tank. They don’t clean or freshen anything…and yeah it’s bad for the environment-mainly yours.
If you have toilet lid covers/toilet rug and a pee smell-these are probably your main offenders. Throw ‘em out and don’t replace them. Your other 2 offenders are the seat itself and where the toilet meets the floor. Toilet seat-remove and soak in tub or replace.
Spray the entire toilet top to bottom and let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe it top to bottom making sure to get all the nooks, crannies, behind the toilet and the baseboards/floor surrounding it. If you did not use your toilet brush in this process-THROW IT OUT. Wipe down the seat that’s been soaking in the tub, replace it and…you’re done. For pee smell try rubbing alcohol, Listerine or a pet enzyme spray for urine.
4. This leaves-the bathtub. Take EVERYTHING out. If you don’t use it-pitch it. That includes the shower caddy. If you don’t use it. what’s the point in adjusting it every so often? If you hate your shower head-this is a great time to replace it with one you love. If you have shower curtains, replace or throw in the washing machine along with the bathmats/rugs.
Now to the actual cleaning-you’re going to be tempted to use a bleach based tub and tile product if you have grout mold, caulk mold or any other kind of black icky going on. Bleach is going to leave tell tale spray marks and you’re still going to have to get in there and scrub at it.
An easier way is to just get in the tub and start scrubbing from top to bottom with…are you ready?? A mixture of liquid dish washing detergent and water. Dish washing liquid is safe for all surfaces and will cut soap scum like nobodies business. If you need a little extra oomph, use that box of baking soda from the kitchen and/or a magic eraser. If after this you still have mold, try hydrogen peroxide.
Glass shower doors-if they ‘feel’ clean after cleaning but still look bad, it’s probably hard water stains or etching. If you can live with it great-if not-try Bar Keepers Friend and expect to really scrub at it. To keep your glass fixtures scum free a little longer, use Rain-X. I don’t recommend using furniture polish on glass as it may over spray into the shower/tub…it will definitely come off the glass first time you shower.
To help keep soap scum away permanently-throw out your drugstore bar soap and switch to a liquid shower soap or a quality handmade soap.
Put the bathtub stuff back, wipe the front and back of the bathroom door, mop the floor and turn out the light on your way out.
…and if all else fails…Call a professional. peachycleantulsa.com. Private Independent Green Maid Service in Tulsa, OK.

Should you hire a housekeeper?

If you're so busy that you run out of clean socks, or find yourself spending more time scrubbing floors than playing with your kids, it might be time to at least consider hiring a bit of help around the house.

We all know how stressful and time-consuming everyday life can be when you have a home, a family, and a full-time job. With only 24 hours in the day, keeping the house clean, the groceries stocked, and the laundry moving can feel like an impossible feat.

And if you're frugal, hiring some help might seem out of the question. After all, why should you pay someone to do a task you can easily do yourself?

Firstly, if you have someone come clean your home on a regular basis you can focus on the daily stuff - wiping down counters, picking up toys, laundry, and dishes. And instead of feeling overwhelmed because you have so much more to do you can relax because no matter how busy life gets, your housekeepers visit is never more than  few weeks away.

Here are some signs you might need to hire a housekeeper:

You're planning your life around avoiding chores

Working part-time or full-time can take a toll on your body and your mental health, and that's especially true if you're also running a household and taking care of kids. And sometimes the "extra," mundane stuff is enough to make you downright miserable.

If you find yourself wearing the same clothes for days in order to avoid laundry, or stopping by McDonalds for dinner to avoid dirtying up more dishes or your kitchen, it might be time to hire some help.

Your husband is down to his last pair of underwear

This has happened to me more than once. After working several 8-hour days in  row, I realized that no one in the house had any clean dress socks or underwear for work the next day. So instead of coming home from a long day to relax, I had to spend some late night hours doing laundry instead.

This is a telltale sign that it might be time to outsource something - anything. When you don't have enough hours in the day to keep basic laundry items clean, something has to give.

Your weekly pay is 4x or more than what you would pay someone

When you aren't earning a lot, paying $100-$400 for a housekeeper can be out of the question. But, what if you earn considerably more than what you would pay someone else?

This is an important question to ponder if you're thinking about hiring help. Lets say you pay $130 every other week for a house cleaner to clean your house from top to bottom for four hours. If you invested that time into overtime at your job or your side job, could you make that much or more? If the answer is yes, then it definitely makes sense to hire some help.

You're missing out on quality time with your partner, spouse, or children

When you work full-time and have a family, sometimes the weekends are all you've got left. But, would you rather spend your Saturday afternoon doing something fun with your family - or watching life go by while you deep clean your kitchen and lint roll your couch?

The fact that there are only 940 Saturdays from the time your child is born and they day they turn 18 means you should spend that time making memories. If you spend that time cleaning instead, you could live to regret it.

The bottom line

While it's important to save money for the future, it's equally important to have a happy life today. And some times, that means figuring out what you can and cant do - and hiring help when you can't be everywhere at once.

So if you're struggling to keep up with your to-do list, give yourself permission to at least explore the idea of hiring help. And remember, if always running on empty, it might actually make sense to hire someone to mow the lawn, clean your house, or deliver your groceries.

There's only 24 hours in a day, and its up to us to make the most of them. And sometimes, that means being smart enough to realize we need time for ourselves and our families more than anything else.

House Cleaning Availability in Tulsa, Oklahoma October/November 2015

'Ello!

I am very blessed to be almost completely booked this fall season.
My availability is extremely limited but I will list what I have as of right now:

My amazing cleaner Jessica has two availabilities:

Thursday afternoons at 12-12:30 starting October 29th (biweekly or monthly)
Friday mornings at 8-8:30 starting October 30th (biweekly or monthly)

My other amazing cleaner Rachel has only one spot left:

Monthly cleaning starting Tuesday afternoon at 1-1:30 November 17th (house smaller than 2500 sq ft)

And as for myself:

Wednesday mornings at 8-8:30 starting November 4th (weekly, biweekly, or monthly)
Thursday morning at 8-8:30 starting November 5th (biweekly or monthly)
Friday mornings at 8-8:30 starting November 13th (biweekly or monthly)

Also, as I get more booked I end up having less time to do deep cleans so an initial deep clean is no longer required before starting a maintenance clean. It is still recommended highly though but since my availability is more limited I realize I may not be able to accommodate everyone.

I will come on Saturdays and Sundays for deep cleanings with advanced notice and if I am available.

And as always email is my preferred method for rate quotes. So if you would like one of these open spots I have available please shoot me an email with your square footage if you know it, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and what town you are located in.
