  • The Benefits of Professional Cleaning Over DIY Cleaning

    The Benefits of Professional Cleaning Over DIY Cleaning

    “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”  – Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr

    The reality is that life, in general, has undergone huge changes since 2020 with the constant need to navigate, adjust, and adapt to new ways of being. It’s no wonder so many of us have seen an increase in our stress and anxiety over the past three years.

    However, there are still things that remain the same. The need for consistency in key areas of our lives is one of them. This is where cleaning comes in. Cleaning our homes is a never-ending chore, one that keeps our homes healthier. Of course, this chore tends to be one of monotony that interferes with our free time. Time we could – and should – be spending doing things we enjoy, with the people we enjoy.

    However, with all the hustle and bustle throughout the week, we often do not have the energy or desire to clean our homes in the evening or on the weekends. This is why we can always rely on cleaning services to be there when we need them, helping us to keep our surroundings clean, safe, and organized.

    There’s a reason that Clean Club Calgary believes that we clean so you don’t have to. Even with all your Do It Yourself (DIY) cleaning intentions, life happens, easily distracting you from ensuring your home is cleaned and cleaned effectively. A professional cleaning company doesn’t just provide comfort in the consistency and quality of cleaning. They provide several other health benefits that support your overall well-being.

     

     

    Reduce Stress

    DIY cleaning may seem like an easy way to save money, but it often leads to increased stress and anxiety if you do not like cleaning or you continue to put it off. The more you procrastinate, the bigger the chore becomes, eventually overwhelming you because it is always in the back of your mind when you’re at home. Constantly seeing clutter pile up or surfaces that need to be scrubbed are visual reminders that you aren’t doing something. It overstimulates your mind, distracts you and pulls your focus from more important things, creates guilt and frustration, and can leave you feeling helpless.

    Working with a professional, you take the stress of having to clean your house off your shoulders because you know it will be taken care of…just not by you!

     

     

    Goodbye Sick Germs

    Cleaning has become even more important in recent times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With schools and workplaces placing greater emphasis on staying home if you have even a hint of a sniffle or cough, a clean home helps reduce time away from these important areas of life.

    One key thing here is that cleaners don’t just clean your home, which is the removal of dirt, debris, dust and other unwanted materials from surfaces, we sanitize them. This further reduces the germs living on a surface, helping to minimize contact with unwanted bacteria that may have made their way into your home. A professional cleaner brings industry training and an understanding of the science behind cleaning, which offers knowledge and experience to thoroughly clean and sanitize all areas of a home. We are equipped with high-quality equipment and cleaning supplies to ensure no corner is left untouched. Knowing that your home is regularly being cleared of these critters and unwelcome germs provides greater peace of mind. We get our hands dirty so you and your family can breathe more easily.

     

     

    Enjoy a Regular Schedule

    Working with a professional cleaner on a regular schedule ensures that your space is consistently clean and maintained. This not only reduces stress but also promotes better health and well-being for everyone in the space. This also provides a greater sense of comfort that matches your personal preference and lifestyle because it builds consistency in your calendar, which provides a sense of control in this uncontrollable world.

    How often cleaning is scheduled is up to you and the factors that influence the cleanliness of your home. If you’re a family of four with two furry dogs, we recommend weekly or bi-weekly to avoid the build-up of clutter, hair, fur, and grime. If you’re single, child and animal free, travel two out of four weeks a month and live in a spacious condo, monthly may be enough. Whatever a regular cleaning schedule means and works for you, is the schedule that we would recommend. 

     

     

    Deep Cleaning Splendour

    Lastly, professional cleaners provide a deep clean that removes dirt, grime, and bacteria from every surface without damaging your home along the way. We’re trained in what type of cleaning product works best on what type of surface, how to clean leather furniture versus fabric ones, and the tricks to get your toilet sparkling. This level of cleanliness can be difficult and time-consuming to achieve with DIY cleaning methods, particularly without the knowledge of how to help prolong the life of furniture, carpets, and other household items.

    We always recommend a deep cleaning at least twice a year, often at the beginning of spring and the end of autumn. This allows us to really get into the corners that a regular clean doesn’t allow time for.

    Ultimately, a cleaner isn’t there to tidy up. We are there to scrub, freshen, and transform your home into a place to relax in, not complete yet another chore that distracts you from what’s truly important – your time.

    While DIY cleaning may seem like a cost-effective solution, it’s important to consider the short and long-term benefits of hiring a professional cleaner. With their expertise, equipment, and commitment to deep cleaning, professional cleaners offer a stress-free, high-quality solution for maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

With spring here, now’s the perfect time to enjoy a deep clean, removing the heaviness of winter, and welcoming in a new season that entices us all outside…where we just don’t have time for indoor chores.

  • What You Need to Know About Moving Cleaning Services

    What You Need to Know About Moving Cleaning Services

    Oh, the excitement ahead! You’ve sold your house, you’ve packed all your belongings, you’re ready to move and start life in your new home. Then you realize…your old home still has so much of you left there. The dust bunnies that hid under furniture, the stubborn grime that simply doesn’t want to leave the stove, the scuffs, stubs, and scratches that were once part of your decor are now in full view and definitely out of place. And leaving it there is not an option! Saying goodbye to these leftover stains doesn’t have to be hard. That’s why professional moving cleaners exist.

     Is a move-out cleaning worth it? We certainly think yes. Below are a few ways to reduce your moving stress by working with a cleaning company to properly deep clean the house you’re saying goodbye to.

     

     

    Plan for Hiccups

    It can be hard to get the timing of your moving cleaners just right. Knowing you need a cleaning when you start your moving process is the first step to reducing stress. Next is knowing that there are always hiccups with every single move, so planning helps avoid unnecessary stress.

     If you discover you need a cleaner too late in the process, you may not be able to get the time/date for the cleaning that you need, which will impact all other aspects of your move.

     We recommend looking for a cleaning company that can be flexible with your schedule and recognizes that hiccups happen with moves. To support you in minimizing these challenges, ask your potential move-out cleaner the following questions to help you plan accordingly:

    1. What happens if the movers don’t show on the date/time planned? What is the process to reschedule with ease?

    2. Will the cleaning company bring all their own cleaning supplies, including a vacuum? Remember – all your supplies will be packed up, possibly already at your new home.

    3. What sort of quality assurance is guaranteed? For instance, at Clean Club Calgary, we have a 24-hour guarantee so if the new owners move in within the 24-hour mark of us completing a move out clean, and see something we’ve missed, they can call us to come and fix it at no charge.

     

     

     Understand the Cleaning Process

    I know a company that once sent one person to clean a 2,003 sq ft house + basement in eight hours. No process to follow, no guarantees, no accountability checks. This, to me, is a red flag. Clean Club Calgary requires two people for the same duration to clean the same space. The reason is that we have processes and procedures in place to ensure a quality deep clean every time. Moving cleaning is not a regular clean. This requires more detail and often involves removing years of caked-on dirt, dust, and grease. Examples of what’s involved in a move out cleaning include:

    • Cleaning inside and outside of all cabinets.

    • Cleaning the top of kitchen cabinets. This alone can take an hour or more due to grease and other food that makes its way up there over the years.

    • Washing walls and baseboards.

    • Deep cleaning the tops of ceiling fans and light fixtures.

    • Vacuuming air vents.

    • Pulling out and pushing back appliances.

    • Adjusting for floor types (e.g., not all hardwood floors are the same. Some are generous and need only one mopping; others love to show all marks, even after being mopped three times.)

     A move out clean is a thorough, top to bottom cleaning. Everything from A – Z is thoroughly cleaned, taking time to bring the full sparkle. Make sure the company you work with is there to make the property shine…not merely complete a quick once over. 

     

     

    Look for Partner Services

    Not all cleaning companies offer all types of cleaning that are often involved in a move out clean. For instance, carpets typically need to be deep cleaned (not vacuumed) and the outside of windows must be washed. Both are specialized cleaning services.

    When you are moving, you are already coordinating enough people and services. Adding more “to-dos” to your list adds unnecessary stress. This is why we suggest connecting with a cleaning company who partners with these specialized service companies for ease in schedule coordination. For instance, Clean Club Calgary partners with Future Now Carpets for carpet cleaning services and Clean Shine for exterior window cleaning. Here, we’re able to coordinate our cleaning team with both the carpet and window cleaning teams for effective scheduling of all our services. This helps to finish the entire move out clean in one day, rather than you having to schedule multiple appointments with multiple companies.

    Ultimately, working with a professional move out cleaning company helps to keep your moving plan on track.
