At Executive Maids we get asked a lot of questions regarding our house cleaning service. We appreciate the fact that for many having a crew of ‘strangers’ in your home cleaning your private living space may feel weird and uncomfortable. That’s why we take care in how we conduct a cleaning in each home we clean.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get.

1 – Will you clean the things I want you to?

Yes, we will. In fact, that is one of the most attractive things about a house cleaning service performed by Executive Maids. We will customize your cleanings to address exactly what you want us to do. If there is a section of your home or a room you would rather we didn’t clean, then that will be honored and detailed in our agreement with you. We all have pet peeves and Executive Maids will do what you want us to do and leave the rest.

2 – Will you be in my home all day?

 No. Executive Maids works in teams of three house cleaners and that permits us to scour your home from top to bottom in what may seem like no time at all. We do this to finish your house cleaning job in a shorter period of time so that you and your household are not disrupted for extended periods of time.

3 – What if I need you and you don’t show up and I’m left hanging?

Executive Maids keeps a schedule for each of our house cleaning teams as well as for every one of our clients. We are constantly updating these schedules as needed and will send notifications via email, text messages and phone calls. If we need to make a change, we will first check with the client. We never leave anyone hanging.

4 –  What happens if I think I’m missing money or jewelry after you cleaned my home.

We get it. You are hiring a stranger when you hire a maid service. Chances are pretty good that you do not know much about them nor will you be conducting background checks on them. You may be just going on the word of your cousin’s neighbor who uses this house cleaning service. Executive Maids does thorough background and work histories on our employees before they are hired. If they pass that we then train them, supervise them and conduct daily staff meetings to continually train, encourage and remind our cleaners of who they are and how important they are to you and what is expected of them.

5 – Are you the gals in pink?  

Yes, they are. You’ll notice that every cleaner wear our bright, beautiful pink uniforms. We like that color.

 Not too fond of them, actually.  Executive Maids cleans the basic living areas of our clients’ homes.

Aside from the hangover, how well did you do with the cleanup planning for after your party? We’re talking about the day or two after the fog has lifted and you are back to functioning normally. If post-party cleanup was that one thing you forgot to include as part of the planning process, are you in for a surprise. House Cleaning after a small, medium or large house party is going to remind you why you don’t do this on a weekly basis. It’s not a fun job regardless of how you tackle it.

 Here are a few professional house cleaning service tips to help you get through the cleanup of this one and to help with the planning of the next one.

1 – Disposable Cups, Plates And Flatware Are Your Friends

Save your dishwasher a lot of extra work by ensuring that all the items used for serving and enjoying food and drink can be tossed after use. Sure, if your party guests paid attention to your requests during the evening, they would have filled your garbage bin with all of these items saving you a lot of work post-party clean up. Even if the countertops and tables and window sills still have partially empty disposable cups on them, house cleaning will be fairly easy. Well, until you find the ones that stick to something because of food or booze that spilled somewhere.

2 – Assign Someone To Collect Leftover Food

The second to last person to leave the party should be one of your house cleaning helpers. Hopefully he or she are still coherent enough to gather up all the remaining bowls of chips, dip, finger foods and whatever else will attract flies if you don’t pick up, wrap and refrigerate before turning off the lights and passing out in a corner. Leftovers are nasty if forgotten after the party and discovered a day or two later when cleaning.

3 – Get Trash Out Of The House ASAP

Before you can actually attempt to wipe down counters and all other surfaces, you need a clear plan of attack. The first post-party house cleaning job you should take on is collecting everything that is considered garbage. You may fill numerous bags and that’s okay. Regardless of the volume, once you pick up all the trash, bag it and get it outside. This will give you room to move and a better visual idea of what is left to do.

4 – Clean All Surfaces

With a cleaning cloths, a damp mop, power washer or sandblaster, go from room to room and wipe each and every surface clean. That’s How We Clean At Executive Maids.  You are going to encounter some sticky stuff, some crusty stuff and maybe even stuff that can’t be identified with just a single glance. Getting all the surfaces looking close to normal is an important step to follow.

5 – Floors

With a shovel, backhoe or broom, get rid of all debris and trash followed by a good floor cleaning with vacuuming, mopping, or whatever is appropriate for the floor covering you are dealing with.

It may sound a tad on the creepy side, but whenever you use your bathroom, you are always sharing it. Even if you go in alone, lock the door, close any curtains and turn on music or whatever to help you relax, you are not in the tub or shower by yourself. Like we said, it’s sort of creepy when you think about it and it doesn’t get any better when you realize that its germs that are keeping you company in there. Germs are crafty and do a good job of hiding but at Executive Maids we know bathrooms inside and out and know where these little buggers tend to hide. Here is our list of the top location germs will hide in your bathroom.

1 – Toilet 

It’s kind of obvious, isn’t it? This is the hot spot in your bathroom. One way to reduce the amount of contaminants you feed into the bathroom is to always close the lid before flushing. You’ll thank us for that tip sooner or later. House cleaning tips: Sprinkle cleanser, like Comet or Ajax around the bowl and clean thoroughly with a toilet brush around the bowl once or twice a week. Also, and very important, clean the top and bottom of the seat with disinfectant once or twice a week, too.  And, and, and…clean the toilet flushing handle regularly!!!

 

2– Water Spigots and Handles/Knobs

This is another real hot spot. When you consider that in order to wash dirty hands you have to use those dirty hands to turn the water on, well, you get the picture. When you consider how many dirty hands will touch them during the course of the average day and it makes the toilet seem tame in comparison. House cleaning tip: keep disinfectant wipes by the sink to clean the handles, knobs and spigot after every use.

 

 

3 – Light Switch

Instead of doing the ole copy ‘n’ paste on this one, re-read when we said about the water spigots and toilets and apply that same basic message here. Yuck.  House Cleaning Services should be cleaning these germy spots with every cleaning.  At Executive Maids , we got that!  House Cleaning Tip:  Once a week walk around your home cleaning all of your light switches with a disinfectant.

 

4 – Toothbrush Holder 

Oddly enough, in some homes this little item outranks the toilet as being the dirtiest, rankest place in your home. If you think for a moment about the scum that can form at the bottom of this holder you’ll get a clearer picture as to why this is such a dirty place in your home. House cleaning tip: Run through your dishwasher once or twice a week plus.

 

5 – Shower

Consider all the grime, dirt and goop that come off of your body and every other body that gets into the shower each day. Not all of it is going to get washed away down the drain.  Maid Services scrub away the germs in your shower so that when you shower you know that feel clean even when you first climb in the shower.  House cleaning tip: Squeegie that glass shower doors and tiles or towel dry after every shower.

 

6 – Fl o or 

First off, a carpeted bathroom is an invitation for fulltime germ  residents. If possible get rid of the carpeting. The floor, without carpet, still needs to be kept clean in order to ward off any kind of germ infestation.  House Cleaners are great at vacuuming the hair and debris and cleaning floors.  House cleaning tip: Hang small area rugs over a rack or shower door to air dry after every bath or shower, vacuum and clean floor weekly.

 

7 – Towels

Here’s why we left this one to last: your towels are breeding grounds for such fun things as fungus, mold spores and bacteria . The same happens to your bath mat if you don’t keep them clean regularly.  House Cleaning Tip:  Throw your towels, bath mat that sits in your tub and your area rug into the washer and dryer at least once a week.

For anyone in the Philadelphia area, you will know what the Philadelphia Magazine Design Home project is all about. Essentially, Philadelphia Magazine organizes this annual event where a uniquely designed and built new home is featured. Each home represents an example of the market trends at the time and the 2019 Design Home is no exception. This one is being called a “modern farmhouse revival” and focused on the rustic and rural elements combined with contemporary styling. Imagine a mixture of classic and state-of-the-art technology and building features in a new home.

The Official House Cleaning Company

Executive Maids has once again been named as the official house cleaning company of this stunning 6,000 square foot Design Home. Our commitment is to keep it spotless and presentable from ceiling to floor while the structure is open to the public for touring. In fact, the partnership between Executive Maids and the Philadelphia Magazine Design Home program dates back to the very first home built as part of this annual event. Executive Maids has been the Official House Cleaning Company each year Philadelphia Magazine created a Design Home.

 

What This Means To Us And You

While the 2019 Design Home is open to the public, a lot of people will tour the home and look it over. Also, special groups will be hosting parties at the home. All of these activities require careful and Professional Maid Services to keep the new home looking bright and spotless. This keeps our team of house cleaners busy, which is good for our business. It also means that if Philadelphia Magazine has trusted their cleaning of the Design Home to us each year since the beginning of this program, it should tell you something about the quality of work we provide.

 

Who We Are

Executive Maids is a Philadelphia area-based house cleaning company that was established in 1993 and happens to be a privately, woman-owned and operated maid service. We are also much more than just house cleaners as our approach is to provide a positive impact on the quality of life of the homeowners we serve. Plus, we aim to extend that same positive impact on the quality of life of the people we train and employ as a member of the Executive Maids Cleaning Team. As a result, we have become a leading provider of house cleaning services in the Philadelphia TriCountry in PA and   Burlington & Camden Counties region in NJ.

We are fully licensed, insured and bonded. Each of our team members is trained, supervised and uniformed with all equipment and supplies provided to clean your home from ceiling to floor.
