TARGET is our number one location when buying cleaning products. Both selection and prices are impressive. Only at Target, we buy Seventh Generation cleaning supplies for example. But there is a trick. At Target you are only allowed to buy 3 items of the same cleaning product. It is very unfortunate because as a small house cleaning company we need way more than 3 items of Pledge Wood Polisher for example. We hope that this restriction will be removed soon and small house cle

House cleaning companies use all sorts of advertisements in order to attract potential customers. Being the number one search engine in the world, Google plays a huge role in small businesses such as house cleaning services. To be on Google maps is a must, But does a cleaning company really needs to spend money on Google? To my knowledge, there are two different advertising solutions: Google Ads and Google Adwords. In Google Ads you can set up a Call-only campaign, which has

Time to time we receive requests for a wall cleaning service. Our standard reply is that we'll be happy to do a spot cleaning but we'll definitely not be able to clean all of the walls tops to bottom. Our hourly rate is $60 per hour and you can imagine how long (and how much) will it take to clean all the walls in a standard 2000 sq ft house. When dealing with larger areas, we do exactly what we are asked to do: washing the walls. But for small trouble areas, we use Magic E

When booking service with your local house cleaning company, does start time matter to you? We believe that the arriving time is very important and try to be as specific as possible with our customers. A lot of Seattle based cleaning services don't care as much as we do and the only 2 options that they can offer to you are anytime between 8am-12pm or 12 pm and 4 pm. I think it neither fair nor professional to be so unspecific with customers about scheduling. Usually, if booke

There are many different products for cleaning ovens. Some are not as strong as others, but at the same time less hazardous. Each cleaner must be chosen based on a specific case. If your oven is fairly clean, just use the regular product with light strength. Neglected ovens would require the heavy duty stuff. Either way, standard safety precautions have to be taken. 1. Please consider putting on a mask; 2. When spraying the product, do it as far from your face as possible

When thinking about the areas that are most important for the majority of customers, I can definitely name wood floor, master bath shower, and kitchen appliances. That is why we here A&K Cleaning trying to pay extra attention to those particular areas. For the wood floor, we have to wait till it completely dries after washing and make sure there are no streaks. The grout between the tiles in the master bathroom shower is another great example. If not cleaned properly and

We often have questions about how to schedule a cleaning when nobody's at home. It is pretty common for all the family members to be away during regular business hours. When parents at work and kids at school, there should be a way to arrange access for the house cleaning crew. Option 1 is to provide a spare key. Each house has assigned professional who provides regular cleaning services each time (either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly). Because it is the same person each t
