Important Safety Measures During Cleaning

Cleaning is an essential aspect to our houses. When it comes to cleaning homes, most of us are usually concerned with some obvious things like the last time we cleaned our bathroom and whether we did a comprehensive scrubbing and cleaning or whether we had enough time to clean our fridge before our favorite TV shows commenced. Very few people take their time to think about some of the safety measures that need to be observed when cleaning our homes. Safety measures are an essential topic that needs to be observed when doing routine house cleaning.

It is quite obvious that some cleaners should not be put together or mixed, and you have to unplug your garbage before you start cleaning is essential. In most cases, some safety practices never come to our mind.

You need to be two to do some jobs

Although most of the cleaning tasks can be done by one person, some cleaning practices require investment or at least two people. They include;
Moving heavy furniture: we have some large and heavy furniture in our homes that are too heavy for one person to move them when cleaning. You should request for assistance so as to avoid some accidents that might occur in the proved like even breaking the furniture while trying to pull them over the surface or moving a fridge so as to scrub behind it. Your health is very important; you should give it top priority when cleaning.
Moving high places: this is another area that requires a helping hand. Ensure someone is there to hold the ladder when you are wiping lighting fixture, ceiling, bringing down drapes, or wiping tops of four cabinets.

Safeguard your Eyes

Your eyes are another area that needs some care when you are cleaning. During the cleaning process, dust, suspended particles, and debris floats and fly in the air. These items are very dangerous to your eyes; it is therefore very important to wear eye gear when you are cleaning your home. Keep spray bottles away from your face.it are also important to confirm the nozzles are pointing in the right direction before you use a cleaning agent.

Known your Surrounding Well

Being aware of your surroundings is an important safety measure when you are cleaning. A lot is accidents or mishaps happen when one is too concentrated in wherever he or she is doing without watching what is around them. When you are cleaning, it is important to be orderly and be cognizant of your environment and what is in immediately after you. For example, one has to be keen on the codes when vacuuming so as to avoid tripping on them.

When you are cleaning your stairways, it is important to start from the top downwards. Always stand on your side so as to reduce the risk of falling. Keep a watch on slippery floors.

Organize your Cleaning Gear

When cleaning, keep all your gears in one place so as to watch your surroundings better. Assembling all your gears in one place leads to efficient cleaning and minimizes the chances of an accident.

Remember Cleaners are Chemicals

A lot of cleaning agents are very dangerous; they are made from toxic chemicals that can harm you when inhaled or burn your skin when they come in contact. Ensure there's proper ventilation by opening windows and turning on fans.

Customer Testimonials

I was extremely pleased with Ashley’s team and they left my house extra-sparkling, making me look good for my in-laws’ visit. All traces of puppy fur and hard-to-remove gunk removed, and the house smelled clean, like lavender (not harsh chemicals). This is thorough, professional, fairly priced, and courteous service. All the stars!”

Stacey P.

“We are very pleased with the service we received with Dashing Maids. Their communication and customer service is superb! Ashley is professional and has great attention to detail. She took the time to take notes on all the areas in our house that I wanted to have cleaned during our first walk through, which I really appreciated. In the past, I’ve done walk throughs with other cleaning companies, explained what I wanted cleaned, they nod “yes” and then didn’t follow through. When Dashing Maids came to clean on our scheduled date, they were very efficient. Everything looked great when they were finished and I’m looking forward to having Dashing Maids return on a regular basis.”

Kara S.

“I have never had a cleaning service, but considered it often. Dashing Maids put a flyer on my door which intrigued me enough to call them. I was impressed with their initiative and enthusiasm that I hired them after our initial meeting. Now every other week I get to come home to a wonderfully clean house with their charming additions that make me smile. I’m not sure they are trying to turn my “black thumb” into a greenish one, but I haven’t killed the lucky bamboo they left as a surprise yet. I’d fully endorse them as a cleaning, Dashing Maids service.”

Maggie B.

“It’s so nice to come home to a sparkling clean house! I’ve worked with other cleaning companies in the past and Dashing Maids always provides a more thorough clean than I’ve found with other companies for a very reasonable price. Plus, they’re great with my dog and don’t mind that he’s at home when they come to clean. I highly recommend Dashing Maids!”

I could not be happier with the services provided by her and the Dashing Maids company. They are responsive, timely, and have overall been a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable cleaning company.”
