Thanks to DIY TV and the ever-present internet, we can be fooled into feeling like HGTV experts. But it takes a skilled professional to claim that title, one who rolls up their sleeves and tackles challenges on a daily basis. When it comes to keeping your home clean, turn to Olympia’s Maid Perfect. A local staple since 2007, they’ve seen – and scrubbed – it all.
But accidents happen, no matter how hard we try to avoid them. For touch-ups in between service, owner Drew Freemantle suggests keeping a well-stocked cleaning caddy on hand and has a few suggestions about the products that work best for everyday issues.
Keeping Your Home Clean In Between Cleanings with Olympia’s Maid Perfect
Maid Perfect specializes in deep cleaning, move in and move out sessions, construction cleanup, window washing and much more. They are happy to schedule regular monthly or biweekly sessions or just be on-call for your party, holiday or just-plain-overwhelmed days.
In our corner of the world, it’s damp nearly three-quarters of the year. For those of us with pets, kids, active hobbies, backyard gardens or just sick of tracking the outdoors in, having a sturdy caddy full of trusted cleaning supplies is a must.
Freemantle recommends something like a Husky brand carrier bag, which is made from fabric, as opposed to a tippable plastic bucket. Standard Husky bags are ringed with plentiful pockets for holding bottles, sprays and equipment.
And while the Maid Perfect team carries nearly two dozen different products on any given occasion, Freemantle says your home kit only needs to cover key categories for spills and messes in-between professional visits.
Stock Up on Key Cleaning Supplies Thanks to Advice from the Pros at Maid Perfect
In your caddy, cupboard or supply closet, Freemantle suggests having a blue kitchen sponge (not the overly abrasive green type), basic toilet bowl cleaner, a multi-purpose cleaner/disinfecting spray, window cleaner, gentle grit powder like Bar Keepers Friend, sink and dish treatment like Dawn Powerwash and a dusting tool like a Swiffer duster or microfiber cloth. Don’t forget rubber gloves to protect your hands, jewelry and manicured nails—or that it’s okay to call a pro and save yourself the hassle.
“We are prepared for every type of situation,” he says, “like stained rings in sinks and toilets, stubborn discolored grout, streaked stainless steel, hard water discoloration, sinks that just won’t come clean, scuffmarks and stains that seem impossible to remove without damaging the surface. We don’t, however, clean carpets but that’s about it.”
With just a phone call, the Maid Perfect team will handle a whole home job or just the chores you can’t stand doing. Fine with dishes but hate to mop? Have an injury that limits chores you have to stoop, bend or stretch to reach? Maid Perfect can tackle it.
Olympia Cleaning Professionals are Skilled, Fast, Experienced and Always Happy to Help
Whether you work from home or an office 9 to 5, live in an apartment or multigenerational house, chase furbabies or grandbabies, life can be messy. Freemantle understands that there’s only so much time in the day so why spend it cleaning?
“We do this all day long,” he explains, “and are so fast and efficient that an average house takes us around 1 ½ to 2 hours to clean in great detail with just a staff of two. We look for all the cobwebs and the little things that just seem to pop up. We lift items and dust under things and want to remove all the little distractions from your life. We’re constantly trying to improve our service to our clients.”
Imagine coming home from work and crashing on the couch. Now look around and you might notice dust on top of the TV or cobwebs on your soundbar. Is your bookcase a spider’s playground? Are dust-bunnies breeding behind the door? Not with Maid Perfect.
Freemantle says his employees keep four key questions in mind at every visit:
- How can I improve my quality and service?
- What makes this client happy and how can we focus on that?
- How can I make the family’s life easier with my cleaning?
- Am I doing my best?
Chances are, your grumpy after-work self or kid-doing-mandatory-weekend-chores won’t maintain such a positive vibe so just let the pros do what they do best. Maid Perfect typically sends the same teams every time so they’ll be able to adapt and overcome to your home’s unique layout and your family’s distinct habits.
Call 360.402.6248 or fill out the Maid Perfect Contact Us form on their website. Freemantle tries to schedule new clients within two weeks but is always happy to try and meet your needs whenever possible.
So, stock your caddy, book a thorough cleaning and enjoy life with one less chore on your honey-do list thanks to Maid Perfect.
