Cleaning Dirty DishesWhen our maids service comes over for a house cleaning in your Woodstock, GA home, we want you to feel relaxed and not have to worry about last minute “tidying up” first.  Of course, we all have a little prep work before a house cleaning service comes by, but it does not need to be another task that eats away at your day.  We feel that when it comes to cleaning your home, a good defense is a good offense.  What I mean is that it is very important to start where the mess usually begins; a lack of organization.

Good organizational habits will help you in the future when Rejoice Maids comes by for a house cleaning.  Here are a few tips to help you start.

  • Clean the Junk Mail Mess:  First it fills your mailbox, then the pile makes its way to your kitchen to rest, cover, and clutter your kitchen table or counter top.  This is where it all begins.  When we start cluttering up this area, our valuable counterspace is eliminated which causes more of an organization disaster.  Eliminate this stress by decluttering your mailbox.
  • Hamper Your Clothes:  If you have kids, you understand how clothes can get thrown everywhere.  Shoes are left in the living room, socks are mysteriously missing their partner, and bedrooms are covered in wardrobes.  A good habit to enforce before house cleaning comes to your Woodstock, GA home is to take care of the clothes mess before it happens.  Using a clothes hamper is key to a well organized home.  Oh, and Mom and Dad… leaving your clothes out will clutter your room too.
  • Don’t Leave Dishes for Another Day:  Most people hate doing dishes, but leaving them in your sink for later usually adds to stress, is unsanitary, stinks up the kitchen, and it only draws out the task.  I have found that using team work with your family is the best way to clean dishes and it is a great way to spend time together.  Washing the dishes together is directly related to a couple’s happiness according to research.  After eating, wash your dishes, and put away as soon as possible so they don’t pile up.
A house cleaning visit to your Woodstock home should be stress relief, so that you can focus on other important things in your life.  Don’t let the pre-cleaning get in your way due to poor organization.
