How to Clean Baseboards the Easy Way Apr 30, 2019

Show notes

How to clean baseboards the easy way is a favorite #cleaning question. Every house cleaner, Airbnb host, and homeowner want to know how to clean baseboards the easy way.

Angela Brown says other common questions are: how do you clean baseboards with a bad back? And How often should you clean baseboards? How to clean baseboards the easy way is not about baseboard cleaning hacks. It's about using the right tools.

You'll use Mr. Clean Magic Erasers if know how to get scuff marks off baseboards. Or Krud Kutter Original Cleaner Degreaser for nicotine and grease build up.

The DocaPole and Swiffer Duster are also easy ways to work smart not hard.

Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsor is Savvy Cleaner. (House Cleaning Training, and producer of these cleaning videos.)

Broken Vacuum! Who Pays? You or the Homeowner? Apr 25, 2019

Show notes

Broken vacuum! So, who pays the house cleaner or the homeowner? Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says we replace things we break while house cleaning. It's a cost of doing business. But a broken vacuum is normal wear and tear and the maid is not liable. Same rules apply for a toilet valve replacement as the broken vacuum.

Sure, it may need vacuum repair, and you can apologize and be honest but set realistic expectations upfront. Replacement parts for old household items don't fall on the cleaning business owner or their employee.

When the maid arrives to clean the vacuum and toilet should be in working order. And they should leave them in the same condition.
