Durham, NC- based Dirt Doctors Cleaning Service is at it again. Did you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month ?

Day after day millions of people find out that they are battling with this horrible illness and the staff at Dirt Doctors Cleaning Service are willing to help

This Saturday, October 29th, Dirt Doctors Cleaning Service will join the Pretty In Pink Foundation in sponsoring a pampering day for 13 wonderful women. Dirt Doctors Cleaning Service will provide each of these women with a FREE house cleaning along with a note of encouragement from the owners’ mother (a breast cancer survivor) ! All women were nominated for this event by Rex Cancer Center located in Raleigh NC.

The Pretty In Pink Foundation provides financial assistance to uninsured and under-insured breast cancer patients with quality, life-saving medical treatment regardless of their ability to pay.  They make this happen with financial commitments through sponsorships, fundraising, donations and pledge drives that support our Champions locally and throughout North Carolina.

” It is such an honor to be able to provide house cleaning services to these women!”

For more information about this wonderful foundation, please visit http://www.prettyinpinkfoundation.org/index.aspx or call (919) 532-0532 .

* Don’t forget to ” Like ” our Facebook page! If we get to 100 “likes” before Saturday we will donate 2 additional cleanings to this foundation   So make sure and forward this to ALL of your friends!

So you wake up one morning and you decide that you can’t take it anymore, and just need help around the house ? So what to do ? Ask a friend or neighbor ? Surf the Internet ? Look in the phone book?

First thing that you should do is figure out a budget that you are able to pay for this type of service. This type of service usually will run about $ 75.00 or more per cleaning, depending on a number of things (pets, number of people in the home, size of home, frequency of cleaning, etc.) . Once you have figured out a comfortable budget, its now time to do your research.

If you are going to have someone in your home, you definitely want to make sure that this is a company that you can trust. Just about anyone can pick up a few supplies from Walmart or Target and call themselves a cleaning company.  To view an article on hiring a company/person under the table, please visit What the Heck is a Trunk Slammer?

Since the people that will be in your home will know just as much about your family as you do, we have listed a few major tips below to help you through the process.

1. Check to make sure the company is insured. – This is a very important part of your relationship. Did you know that if someone was injured in your home that doesn’t have insurance, you can be sued for medical expenses ? Dirt Doctors carries a 2,000,000 dollar policy for your protection.

2. Make sure that the company is licensed by the state. -  If you are working with a professional company, they should have no problem showing you their up to date business license.

3. Can this company provide you with references ?  – References from previous clients is always a good sign. Ask for about 3 or 4 references from current clients.

4. Do a Google search to find reviews on the company. – In this day in time, if you are a service provider, you most likely will have reviews somewhere online. Be mindful that all reviews will not be good and that is not a bad thing. Thoroughly read through as many reviews as possible and that should give you a pretty good idea about the company you are about to bring into your home. http://www.dirtdoctorscleaningservice.net/PersonalRecommendations.html

After you have done your research and found a few companies (2 or 3 is typical) that you like, call and ask them to come and give you an in home estimate. This way, they can get a feel for the job as a whole and you can get a feel for the company that will be in your home.  Below you will find a few FAQ’s that clients tend to ask during an in home estimate:

It’s that time of year and everybody is trying to move before the school year begins!  Although we (cleaning services) love this time of year, our  clients usually don’t. With all of the packing, unpacking, and reorganizing that goes along with the big move, the last thing that you want to think about is the CLEAN!

Well, since we only have about 2 weeks before the school year begins, let’s talk about some house cleaning tips that will make your move go alot smoother.

Since there is usually alot of chaos with the entire moving process, you want to try and stay as focused as possible during the clean. Although this is the part of the moving process that people hate the most, it is the most important. Especially if you are looking to get back a hefty part of your security deposit!

So get a pen and a piece of paper and lets map out your cleaning process!

1. First you want to tour the house and write down everything that needs to be cleaned before you must turn in the keys. Make sure to take extensive notes so that you are sure not to miss anything. While you are taking notes, be sure to open every cabinet, drawer, closet, etc. This is where most people like to leave stuff behind. The less you have to remove, the easier the cleaning process will be.

2. On the other side of your notepad write down all of the supplies that you will need. Be sure to include an all-purpose cleaner, a window cleaner, a neutral floor cleaner, a mop, a broom, gloves, and plenty of rags; just to name a few items. Since we’re all about the environment, we would suggest that you check out Method, Seventh Generation, or Simple Green cleaning supplies. All of which are environmentally friendly and can be purchased at your local Target or Wal-Mart. And of course don’t forget the Barkeepers Friend which can also be purchased from a local store.

3. After you have removed all the furniture and purchased your supplies , it’s now time to start the dirty work. One thing you want to make sure to remember is to always clean top to bottom, left to right. This will cut down on the amount of time you spend in each room.

4. The Bathrooms: Everybody hates cleaning the bathrooms! Lucky for you, you are going to start in this room first so you can get it out-of-the-way. Spray everything down and work your way around. Dont forget to do the toilet last!

5. The Kitchen: The kitchen is my favorite place to clean but it can sometimes be more tedious . Especially if the appliances are still there! Start with your appliances and again spray them down. Make sure that they are unplugged. You want to be sure not to have any electrical accidents (Oven)! Yikes! I like to start in the refrigerator first. With the refrigerator, it is important to take out each and every drawer and shelf. Did you know that hair can come through your refrigerator vent and get trapped underneath and behind those shelves and drawers? Yuck! Yeah make sure to take those out! What about the ice maker? Yes, empty the ice maker and clean it out as well. We wont get into what can get trapped in your ice cubes   Then move on to your stove/oven, microwave, and then the interior/exterior of your drawers and cabinets. Again, lets focus on left to right, top to bottom.

6. After you have completed the bathrooms and the kitchen, you can now focus on the easy part. Yiiipppppeeeee! Now we get to move onto the bedrooms, living rooms, bonus rooms, and office areas. For the most part, all there is to do in these rooms are the windows, window sills, doors, switch plates, ceiling fans/light fixtures, baseboards, closets and floors. I know it seems like a lot but again, if all of your furniture and clothing is removed, these rooms should be a breeze.

7. After all is done, check your work and take pictures. A lot of people  forget to take before and after pictures of the residence before they turn in the keys. Have you ever thought that everything was done and then you got your final check, only to realize that your landlord charged you for something that was already damaged. Oooopppssss! Take pictures! It will save you the headache!

For your convenience, here is a complete list of the items that we clean during a move in/out cleaning: http://www.dirtdoctorscleaningservice.net/Maid_Services_Durham_NC.html

Happy Move!
