00:57 our whisper ohms and we will start again

00:59 at the top right yeah yes that’s right

01:02 we’re gonna try to push everything down

01:05 right so we’re gonna get up there bring

01:09 it all the way down beautiful and then

tip-top shape for the spring ladies good

0:00:08.730,0:00:22.949

morning ready okay are you stressed

0:00:13.200,0:00:24.840

about the mess spring cleaning my

0:00:22.949,0:00:27.119

friends we’ve got a lot of hot tips from

0:00:24.840,0:00:29.670

made to shine and Jordan right and

0:00:27.119,0:00:31.800

you’re really kind of diving in with a

0:00:29.670,0:00:33.450

deep clean this is not a surface clean

0:00:31.800,0:00:39.480

that’s correct spring cleaning is made

0:00:33.450,0:00:40.760

to be very we’re getting in there that’s

0:00:39.480,0:00:44.969

hurt of getting the grind

0:00:40.760,0:00:47.219

thank you brother okay so let’s do this

0:00:44.969,0:00:48.930

you said wax on wax off is not the way

0:00:47.219,0:00:51.270

to go that is correct most people will

0:00:48.930,0:00:53.100

just automatically go like this well the

0:00:51.270,0:00:55.980

problem with that is now we are

0:00:53.100,0:00:57.719

spreading everything around including on

0:00:55.980,0:01:00.149

the surface that we just clean what

0:00:57.719,0:01:03.000

spread we don’t want to do that so we’re

0:01:00.149,0:01:05.549

going to take the concept of going from

0:01:03.000,0:01:07.860

back to forward you want to pull

0:01:05.549,0:01:10.560

everything and drop it to the ground

0:01:07.860,0:01:12.630

crumbs crumbs anything that you’ve got

0:01:10.560,0:01:14.610

left is going on in here have it that’s

0:01:12.630,0:01:17.430

right last week’s dinner whatever it is

0:01:14.610,0:01:19.979

sure we’re pulling it down that way in

0:01:17.430,0:01:21.570

the end all we got are floors to do and

0:01:19.979,0:01:23.340

that will take care of all of our

0:01:21.570,0:01:24.840

rubbish talks about I talked about it

0:01:23.340,0:01:26.670

that’s right top to bottom so you should

0:01:24.840,0:01:31.890

have these guys already died it’s gonna

0:01:26.670,0:01:34.079

say these yeah all right so we’re gonna

0:01:31.890,0:01:35.729

practice that pulling method and can I

0:01:34.079,0:01:37.290

catch the Cross you can always catch the

0:01:35.729,0:01:39.450

crumbs especially if you got a good

0:01:37.290,0:01:42.119

handful of that no crumbs that makes

0:01:39.450,0:01:42.750

your floor cleaning easier later very

0:01:42.119,0:01:44.670

nice

0:01:42.750,0:01:47.670

perfect well and then countertop

0:01:44.670,0:01:49.530

cleaners I know you guys use all green

0:01:47.670,0:01:51.119

products correct so you want to make

0:01:49.530,0:01:52.380

sure that you are using something safe

0:01:51.119,0:01:53.759

because this is where a lot of food is

0:01:52.380,0:01:55.320

perfect that is right yeah you don’t

0:01:53.759,0:01:58.290

want to end up you know with some kind

0:01:55.320,0:01:59.909

of chemical base that’s there and you’re

0:01:58.290,0:02:02.189

gonna ingest that that’s just not a good

0:01:59.909,0:02:04.469

idea so definitely I mean we really

0:02:02.189,0:02:05.670

recommend going that green route I’m

0:02:04.469,0:02:09.869

something that’s gonna be safe and

0:02:05.670,0:02:11.060

friendly for for the whole family which

0:02:09.869,0:02:12.050

is that’s correct

0:02:11.060,0:02:13.190

Spring Cleaning Tip #2| Light Switches and Door Knobs

Video caption is below:

This place is a disaster. Good thing we’re here this morning because the dirt and grim, it’s here and it’s time to get rid of it. Spring cleaning, we’re in the season, right?

Jordyn, with Maid to Shine, she is our expert this morning, walking us through and right now we’re going to talk about one of the places in your home or office or space wherever ya live, it doesn’t matter, where there’s going to be a lot of dirt and grim and it’s gonna maybe even get you sick so it’s going to be important that you clean it.

That is correct, that would be your doorknobs and light switches. So you don’t typically think about cleaning those kinds of items, but we’re always touching them, no matter what.

And this guy is going to be your best friend? Yes, the toothbrush! You’ll be able to get in all the crevices and cracks plus we’ll sanitize it at the same time. Make sure we get rid of those germs.

So we’ve got a lovely example here. We do take our cleaner, this could be anything, Lysol or any kind of dissenficant, that you would prefer. We go ahead and spray directly on to the light switch plate.

And this is safe? Yes, this is safe. Never any accidents, as far as electrical.

Then you’re just going to go ahead and scrub away. Get the little “on” and remember to flip the switch as well to get the other side. Often times we forget to clean that side. Make it sparkle!

So then we gotta do the door knob? Yes! So door knobs, again, same thing. We’ll go ahead and spray it down. You’ll use your toothbrush to get up in those crevices.

Now Jordyn, you don’t know this about me, but I am a cleaner. I love to clean! So we have that in common, but you I must say, are changing my life this morning.

Because these are things, typically, you wouldn’t really think about. We’ve been saying it all morning, “clean on the surface”, but you gotta get in there and get that grim.

One step at a time we’re getting that grim this morning live and local with Maid to Shine. We are gonna have this place sparkling by the end of the morning.

Spring Cleaning Tip #3 | The Dobie Pad

Video Caption:

Live and local right now with Maid to Shine Cleaners. Lauren McDonald, is getting rid of the grim. Lauren, good morning, tell us some more of these hot tips for spring cleaning.

Let me tell you one thing, we are off to the races. Because Jordyn she is the Jeff Gordon when it comes to cleaning.

This morning we are making sure that we’re getting this place nice and clean, right? So we’re in the kitchen which can be a a place that can collect a lot of grim.

You’re going to want something with a little more scrub to it because of dried on food and build up that can happen in the kitchen.

So we’re going to use this miracle worker: The Dobie Pad. The dobie is going to be your new homie. It is!

It’s very safe and doesn’t like to scratch items, but it’s tough enough to get off dried on food and things like that.

And you can get this anywhere? Yup, like Walmart or your local grocery store.

So we’re going to attack this microwave. Hose it down with your spray. Just go to town! And the great thing about this is that we’re using all safe cleaning products. All green. Everything we use is all safe and all natural.

Just start scrubbing? You can start scrubbing! Is there a way I need to scrub? Typically we start with the door. Scrub away and then wipe her down.

And you guys mix all your own cleaning products, correct? Yes, that is correct.

From there again we’re going to start from top to bottom. Start at the top of your microwave, work to the sides and then finally to the bottom.

No matter what you’re cleaning you’re cleaning top down? Yes, that’s correct.

Spring Cleaning Tip #1 | Top to Bottom Cleaning

Video transcription is below:

Right now Laura McDonald is up live and local getting set to clean with Maid to Shine with tips to make sure your space is in tip-top shape for spring. Ladies, good morning Craig and Ivy I am feeling just fine because you’re looking at the newest member of Maid to Shine this morning! So I’m here with Jordyn Reece and we are cleaning, right? We’re at this house and we are getting ready to spring clean because spring it’s technically this week. It’s sprung on us! Weather might not illustrate that but hopefully we’re gonna be looking up at no more snow. That is correct. So we’re gonna talk about top to bottom cleaning right? That is correct. So we’re all about working efficiently that way you can get the best quality of work but also with the least amount of time. So a good way to do that is always to go from top to bottom anywhere in the house. Sure. So starting with any kind of fixtures, whether you’ve got fans fixtures. You may also want to check your corners for any kind of cobwebs all of that is going to be brought down and then you can continue cleaning ultimately getting it to the floor. Which is easy.

Right okay so how would we start with this? So this one you’re going to want to start as high as you can reach. Okay, you want to get up here into the little crevices here. A lot of people they don’t realize spring cleaning is also good for your health, right? That is correct, especially if you’ve got any kind of asthma or anything like that. You want to make sure you get the chains cuz those always like to collect cobwebs. Right. It is up to you whether you want to go into your little bowls here but I always at least try to get those bulbs you know kind of cleaned up there. Makes the lights brighter too? Correct, that is correct.

So moving on from there you would move to your table. Typically we will clean this with some of our disinfectant juice and kind of clean it all up but I will go ahead and just go over it with our duster here. So you would want to bring whatever you had here onto the table to the ground. You guys use all green products? Yes, so we like to make sure everything is green. Not only is it safe for you and your pets it’s safe for your furniture but it’s safe for the environment.

Jordyn’s gonna be walking us through all morning with Maid to Shine. I’ll tell you what, if you guys could see this it might look clean on the surface but there’s still dust here.

Gotta get some of that disinfected juice. Yeah, Lauren she pretends like she doesn’t like spring cleaning but we all know Lauren loves to clean, she loves crafts.

A Colorado Springs Christmas | Maid to Shine

When Maid to Shine comes to clean then there’s plenty of time to do fun things with the family this December! We’ve compiled a small list of fun and local attractions to get you in to the holiday spirit.

  1. Skate in the Park

Test your balance as you skate around a 4,675 square-foot ice rink. Located in downtown Colorado Spring’s Acacia Park, this chilly exploit makes for a perfect family outing or date night. Rent a pair of skates for just $10 and hit the ice. Afterwards, you can enjoy one of Colorado Springs fine eateries that surrounds the lovely little park.

  2. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s Electric Safari 

Bundle the kids up and head to the zoo! All throughout December you can stroll through Christmas lights as you take in the beauty of the animals that call this place their home. Plus, Santa will be seeing good boys and girls through December 23. Check their website for details and get ready to have a great time!

  3. Enjoy Live Theater

Support Colorado Spring’s Fine Art’s Center as they put on Roald Dahl’s, Matilda the Musical, through January 6. Although this musical isn’t exactly Christmas themed it is full of child-like wonder and teaches the importance of believing in ones self (that seems to be in the spirit of Christmas).

If you’re looking for something a little more festive check out the unique live performance, “The Puppet Maker: A Story of Christmas”. Step inside the workshop of a village woodcarver as he painstakingly prepares a marionette Nativity scene for a local Christmas music festival. On this eventful Christmas Eve night before the pageant, as he applies the finishing touches to his figures, a Christmas story unfolds that is both timeless and unexpected. This holiday show runs from December 14-January 1.

  4. Michael Garman’s Magic Town

It’s Christmas in sculptors, Michael Garman’s, Magic Town! See the miniature buildings and streets decked out for the holidays, plus enjoy a scavenger hunt as you peek in to tiny hotels, restaurants and so much more. This local attraction is certainly worth seeing and is excellent for those on a budget with adult admission costing on $5 and children $3. We recommend this sight to anyone who wants to feel like a giant!

  5. Yule Tea at Glen Eyrie Castle

Feel like royalty this season as you sip on tea in Colorado Spring’s Glen Eyrie Castle. This beautiful feat of architecture is truly something to behold, take a step back in time and see where Colorado Spring’s founder, General Palmer, called his home. This activity is magical for all ages and a wonderful look into the history of our gorgeous city.

  There’s of course so many things to do this season, but if time is limited, we recommend checking out these festive holiday events. What are your favorite activities to do this time of year, we’d love to hear from you! We wish everyone all this best as we go in to the most wonderful time of the year!

Rent a pair of skates for just $10 and hit the ice. Afterwards, you can enjoy one of Colorado Springs fine eateries that surrounds the lovely little park.

  2. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s Electric Safari 

Bundle the kids up and head to the zoo! All throughout December you can stroll through Christmas lights as you take in the beauty of the animals that call this place their home. Plus, Santa will be seeing good boys and girls through December 23. Check their website for details and get ready to have a great time!

  3. Enjoy Live Theater

Support Colorado Spring’s Fine Art’s Center as they put on Roald Dahl’s, Matilda the Musical, through January 6. Although this musical isn’t exactly Christmas themed it is full of child-like wonder and teaches the importance of believing in ones self (that seems to be in the spirit of Christmas).

If you’re looking for something a little more festive check out the unique live performance, “The Puppet Maker: A Story of Christmas”. Step inside the workshop of a village woodcarver as he painstakingly prepares a marionette Nativity scene for a local Christmas music festival. On this eventful Christmas Eve night before the pageant, as he applies the finishing touches to his figures, a Christmas story unfolds that is both timeless and unexpected. This holiday show runs from December 14-January 1.

  4. Michael Garman’s Magic Town

It’s Christmas in sculptors, Michael Garman’s, Magic Town! See the miniature buildings and streets decked out for the holidays, plus enjoy a scavenger hunt as you peek in to tiny hotels, restaurants and so much more. This local attraction is certainly worth seeing and is excellent for those on a budget with adult admission costing on $5 and children $3. We recommend this sight to anyone who wants to feel like a giant!

  5. Yule Tea at Glen Eyrie Castle

Feel like royalty this season as you sip on tea in Colorado Spring’s Glen Eyrie Castle. This beautiful feat of architecture is truly something to behold, take a step back in time and see where Colorado Spring’s founder, General Palmer, called his home. This activity is magical for all ages and a wonderful look into the history of our gorgeous city.

  There’s of course so many things to do this season, but if time is limited, we recommend checking out these festive holiday events. What are your favorite activities to do this time of year, we’d love to hear from you! We wish everyone all this best as we go in to the most wonderful time of the year!

Excellence in Customer Service Award | Maid to Shine

What a wonderful journey Maid to Shine has been on for the past 4 months! We are proud to say that we were selected as 1 of 10 spectacular businesses to receive the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado Excellence in Customer Service Award! Thank you to our amazing team and everyone we’ve had the pleasure of servicing. We are happy to give superior customer service to Colorado Springs!

  How We Got Here

Attaining this award certainly was not easy. We spent months writing up our application that ended up being a total of 8 pages. We answered some tough questions and took a deep dive in to what’s worked and maybe what hasn’t so much over these past 10 years. After submitting our written portion our President, Vice President and Marketing Coordinator participated in an hour and half interview with BBB Customer Service Award committee members. This is the section of the process where we learned the most, thank you Steve! It was such a rewarding process to share all of our hard work for the past decade and so fulfilling to look back on client testimonials as we worked to showcase our dedication to customer service.

  Why this Award is Important to Us

Maid to Shine is a Christ centered business that gives PEACE to its clients by providing custom residential house cleaning so that they can reclaim their valuable time and rejuvenate their minds, bodies, and spirits. We instill this in to every team member rather they’re cleaning your home or answering your questions over the phone. Through our mission statement and our ten core values we’ve been able to deliver excellent customer service. This award means so much to us because while we know we work hard to please our clients and those we interact with, we don’t often take the time to step back and look at how we’ve developed our methods and how important it is to a community to always have customer service at the forefront.

  Now a BIG Thank You

We wouldn’t be where we are without our amazing team! To our cleaning techs, thank you for being trustworthy, hardworking and so delightful to be around. To our scheduling managers, thank you for being the voices of Maid to Shine, you’re the first impression many people get of us and you all do a wonderful job! To our office managers, thank you for taking care of our girls and for always working hard, we wouldn’t be here without you both! And to our corporate team members, the work you do is so important to the success of Maid to Shine, never forget that. Without our incredible family working together like we do this award would have only been a dream!

  We’d also like to say a giant thank you to our clients. It’s been your constant support, feedback and trust that continues to make us love what we do. It’s been such a pleasure servicing each and every one of you. Your confidence in Maid to Shine means everything to us.

  What an excellent year 2018 continues to be for our small business. We started with just our president, Crista Burwell, cleaning houses alone. Then we grew from 2 to 10 to 20 and beyond! With recognition like this from the Better Business Bureau this local company is able to succeed beyond our wildest dreams. We appreciate everyone who has encouraged us for the past 10 years!

The Whisk Broom

Hello class, today we will review the whisk broom. This trusty cleaning tool is easily overlooked, but one we think everybody should have in their cleaning arsenal. It may be small and light weight but this bad boy can really help in those tight spaces.

  How is a Whisk Broom Different from a Regular Broom?

Great question! Now here’s a great answer: A whisk broom is a small, short-handled broom best used to brush fabric. Thanks to it’s stiff bristles and convenient carrying size this tool is ideal for couches, seat cushions and other things along those lines.

  What Should I use a Whisk Broom to Clean?

As mentioned above we recommend whipping this out when the couch needs a good sweep or the dog’s bed has started to collect an unsettling amount of hair. When the kids take snack time in to the living room make sure to hand them a whisk broom to help with clean up after. We also recommend keeping one in your car, especially if your lunch time is spent munching at red lights. Although the whisk broom is a godsend for fabrics it’s also great for tight spaces. Thanks to it’s small stature and flat top you can easily get under chairs cabinets, etc. Plus, it’s excellent for sweeping up right next to walls, baseboards and carpet edges clearing out dirt to be vacuumed up later. Pro tip: Use light pressure when cleaning with this tool.

  Where Can I Get My Own Whisk Broom?

Luckily, whisk brooms aren’t so hard to find. However, we recommend not buying with corn bristles. These tend to break and leave remnants behind. Try one with split tip fibers made from something more durable, such as plastic. We recommend this one that can be found on Amazon.

  And that’s the beauty of a whisk broom! As trusted cleaning professionals in Colorado Springs we’ve been using this tool in our kit for several years and its yet to let us down. It might be one of our favorite ways to fights against crumbs and dried on mud. What are your favorite cleaning tools, let us know in the comments down below.

However, many customers wonder how property management and concierge service works. In these two-part series of blog posts, we will explain what kind of requests you can make for each of these services. Trust me, there’s a lot more than you imagined!

  What is Property Management?

Property management refers to the operation and maintenance of your home. In broad categories, this can refer to the home infrastructure and appliances, with special services applicable for landed properties.

Here are some examples:

Infrastructure

How-to ButlerInSuits (Part 2): Concierge Service

If you haven’t read the first part of this blog post on property management, read it here!

We’ve seen concierge services in hotels, but how does it work in our homes? Imagine the same array of services, but personalized to your day-to-day needs. ButlerInSuits’ concierge service brings help to every aspect of your life, so that you can experience a five-star treatment in the comforts of your home.

  What is Concierge Service?

Many people think that concierge service is for the super-rich, or that it’s only possible to receive it when you’re staying at a hotel. But concierge service is for everyone – singles, couples or families – who needs an extra help taking care of the odds and ends that get overlooked in our busy life. It not only lets you save time on certain tasks and chores, but also gives you access to ButlerInSuits’ expertise in many different areas. Think of it as a lifestyle management and personal assistant service that’s dedicated and customized to your needs, so that you can earn the most valued commodity – time.

Here are some examples:

Personal Needs

Booking the best deals (hotels, flights, transport)

Florist – for mother’s day, valentine’s day, graduation, etc

Cobbler & Shoe shine

Beauty (hair, manicure, massage)

Tailoring

Dry cleaning

Restaurant booking

Personal shopping

Experiences

Expat orientation

Curation of local experiences (such as these!)

Party organization

The possibilities of a concierge service is endless. Let’s say you’re hosting an event at your child’s school and need some help organizing it – we can help organize, design, and clean up. Hosting a fancy party at your home? We will help you find the best private chef and wine specialist.

Concierge service is not just for when you’re around. Are you going away on a vacation with your family and need someone to take care of your plants during that time? We will make sure your garden is maintained.

  How does it work?

Contact the concierge service team’s email or hotline.

We will process it during our working hours, which is Monday to Friday 9am-6pm, and get back to you if we need additional information about your needs.

Depending on the request, we will provide you with a quote of the requested service. If it’s a longer-term task, we’ll keep you posted on the progress through your preferred method of communication.

Whatever your request may be, expect a high-quality outcome, and save time by working with us!

  If you have any questions, feel free to contact our team at hello@butlerinsuits.com!
