De-Clutter Before You Move RSS

Posted in Cleaning Services on Jun 07

We all tend to travel with too much gear, and that includes when we move between homes. As a result we pay movers to Find a Cleanerpack, transport and unpack goods that we really no longer require, and may pay dearly for that privilege too. And when we do try doing something about all the junk we have accumulated, we invariably are distracted or cannot find the time.

And the answer? Find a Cleaner to take the pain out of the gain! Why so?

o A cleaner has the time to do the job thoroughly, and often has a sharp eye to make suggestions too. Moreover, when you Find One on Mr-Skill the chances are excellent that you could trust them.

o A cleaner is objective and will ask you probing Find a Cleanerquestions when you allow them to. They will not hang on to all the alibis that you sometimes use either. For them an anorak without a sleeve, or a cell phone without a battery are both useless junk, although they may hold memories too for you.

o A cleaner is also an expert at tidying up and finding storage places for the goods that you decide to keep. When negotiating for Cleaner Quotes to de-clutter it is fairer to agree an hourly rate instead of a fixed price one, because neither of you probably have the faintest idea how long the job could take.

Several Cleaners in London that I know well make their main living out de-cluttering people’s lives from time to time. Why not try the experience too? You could be amazed at the difference this makes to your peace of mind.

A New Year’s Resolution – Housekeeping RSS

Posted in Cleaning Services on Dec 27

Now that the first round of Christmas Festivities are over, and mothers all over the world are faced with the task of tidying up after their more or less enthusiastic families, its time for the domestic executive to put her foot down, and inculcate a New Year’s resolution that may stand her off-spring in good stead for years to come. If they don’t, the mailboxes of their blackberries will be forever overloaded with unanswered cleaner quotes.

After all, you’d hardly like to be confronted with your worst nightmare when you visit them after they have flown the nest – not that your little darlings could ever be quite this bad.

o Buy cost-effective eco-friendly cleaning materials in bulk packs from wholesale suppliers, not at downtown shops. Decant these into smaller containers to avoid wastage by over-generous hands.

o Clean up as you go along. Make a habit of wiping down kitchen surfaces and washing up the pots and pans before you sit down to eat. What a pleasure afterwards.

o The firm Cleaners London Sparkling Clean insist on de-cluttering a home before they take up the main contract. That’s because they know that an organized home takes much less time to clean.

o A place for everything and everything in its place are the best two starting points for a clean and tidy home. That’s because, like de-cluttering, they make the cleaning job just that bit easier.

o When everything is in place, draw up a cleaning roster and make sure it gets obeyed. A family of four can keep their home sparkling clean if they just each spend half an hour a day working at it.

Does this sound like a dream in Cloud Cuckoo Land? It doesn’t have to be, especially when you find a cleaner on Mr-Skill to do a once-off sparkle clean to get you started for the New Year. You might even get interviewed by the local papers as an inspiration for others.

Freshen up a Room for Just a Few Pounds RSS

Posted in Cleaning Services, Electrical Work, Moving Homes & Hauliers, Painting & Decorating on Nov 15

Does the appearance of your lounge or bedroom depress you? Do you feel like chucking out everything and starting all over again? I heard you loud and clear – not everybody has the money to pay for major redecorations. Instead, here are a few tips on inexpensive innovations that you could even achieve your self.

o Invest in Full Spectrum Light Bulbs

Many of us still have not quite caught up with modern light bulbs and are using old ones that make everything look dull. Full Spectrum Light Bulbs produce natural illumination just like the sun was shining indoors too. You will be amazed at how much brighter and cleaner everything looks inside your home. Don’t take chances if an old bulb is stuck though – find an electrician at Mr-Skill.

o Apply some Elbow Grease

Now that you can finally see properly in the room you will notice clutter and dirty spots that you may not have noticed before. You need to do two things urgently – first de-clutter the space, and then give everything a good clean. If a piece of unwanted furniture is too heavy for you to shift yourself, find a man-with-a-van here.

o Buy a Small Tin of Paint

A quart-sized tin of modern paint goes a long way these days. You could redecorate one wall, the door or window frames, or even a piece of furniture like a table in a chic new colour. Don’t remodel – just add fresh highlights. This time you may not even need to find a painter.

o Add a Few Accessories

To complete the picture and the transformation of your room why not invest in a few inexpensive accessories like rugs and silk flowers in bright vases Second hand shops often have antique mirrors and table lights that can be spruced up for next to nothing. That way, you get more style for less money too.

By following these ideas, you will achieve an “almost new” room for very little outlay. Thanks Heavens for Mr-Skill and their good ideas.
