Save Time With These Vacuuming Tips

Everyone who vacuums does not think much about the actual process. You plug the vacuum in, turn it on and begin vacuuming, right? Unfortunately, many people take longer than necessary when vacuuming. There are actually some things that can shorten the amount of time that it takes to complete your chore.

Let's take a look at how you can save time and vacuum like a pro with the following tips:

‍Make a Plan: It sounds silly. After all, it is just vacuuming, but making a plan is one of the best things you can do to help save you time. Map out the rooms that you need to clean. Remember that you want to dust before you clean your floors because the dust will fall to the floor. If you vacuum and then dust, you may need to vacuum again to remove any fallen dust. When minutes count, learning how to streamline your cleaning process is essential.‍
Clean Your Vacuum Before You Start: In order to ensure your vacuum cleaner is performing at its peak, it must be cleaned inside and out. Cleaning your vacuum will ensure that it has proper airflow. If you filter is clogged with dust or the canister is full the vacuum will not perform well. By cleaning your vacuum before you begin, ensure that it performs well, which will save you time.‍
Clean Up First: We have already talked about dusting before vacuuming; however, you also need to spend a few minutes clearing the floors you will be vacuuming. Doing this will prevent you from needing to stop and pick up items as you vacuum. Additionally, picking up items will prevent you from accidentally sucking up items into your vacuum cleaner that can damage the vacuum, get tangled in the brushes or cause you to trip as you vacuum.‍
Learn to Vacuum the Right Way: You may think that vacuuming is a no-brainer chore; however, there are certain things you need to know to ensure you are using your vacuum cleaner correctly. One of the best ways to do this is to read your owner's manual. It will teach you how to keep your vacuum in good working order and use it efficiently.‍
Vacuum Regularly: Maintaining a cleaning schedule, including vacuuming, will save you time when you are cleaning. If your clean throughout the week, less dirt can accumulate, which means that it will take fewer passes when you vacuum. This will save you time.

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!”

Miriam T.

“There is no one that cleans our house as well as Katie does! She is meticulous and genuinely loves to clean, and it absolutely shows. We love it when it is our cleaning day. 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.”

Kristin W.

“I have been using Dashing Maids for several years now, and appreciate the communication and consistency with which our home is cleaned. The cleaner that always treats our home as if it were hers is Katie. Thanks Katie for your hard work!”

"We have been dashing maids customers for a couple of years now and the service is always impeccable. Most recently our cleaning team has included Katie and Hannah, and I always get excited when I see them arrive. I know my house will be clean and I’ll get the pleasure of their company while they clean it. They do a great job and give me such peace of mind!”

We've been fortunate to have Dashing Maids clean our home for the past several years. Ashley and her entire team have been great to work with. We'd recommend them without reservation. Most recently, Tori and Carol cleaned our home with detail and care.

We really appreciate our cleaner,
