My current cleaner is always reliable and her cleaning is of a high standard. She has continued to clean while “Lock Down” was on but we kept in touch by text to check that both she and my husband and I were all still well before she came to our home. Joyce keeps her distance and we think our arrangement works well for us all. Many thanks.

-Mr and Mrs D – Southwater

I have been very pleased with the service I have received from Cleanhome especially from Roger. In the last few weeks his emails have shown how much he cares about both his clients and his cleaners. I am very glad to have my lovely cleaner Linda back again.

-Mrs B – Patcham

Two cleans in we are very happy with our cleaner. She has turned up each time when she said she would, and has done a thorough and professional job. The poor girl didn’t hesitate to carry out the clean, even when I forgot to leave her payment on the second occasion!

Beat the Heat: 8 Tips for Cleaning in the Summer Heat

Cleaning can be a challenging task, and when it’s combined with the sweltering heat of summer, it can feel even more daunting. However, with the right strategies and precautions, you can keep your home sparkling clean while staying cool and comfortable.

Today, we’ll share valuable tips and tricks to help you manage your cleaning tasks during the heat of the summer and make your cleaning routine more efficient, enjoyable, and bearable in the scorching summer temperatures.

1. Plan Cleaning Tasks

Schedule your cleaning tasks early in the morning or later in the evening when the temperatures are cooler. Take advantage of the relative coolness during these times to tackle more physically demanding chores, such as hoovering or deep cleaning. By avoiding the peak heat hours, you can minimise discomfort and exhaustion while cleaning.

2. Stay Hydrated

Cleaning in the heat can lead to dehydration, so it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Keep a water bottle nearby and take frequent breaks to drink. Consider adding slices of lemon, cucumber, or mint to infuse some refreshing flavour. If possible, opt for cold or iced drinks to help regulate your body temperature and keep you cool.

3. Wear Protective Clothing

When cleaning around the outside of your home or in your garden, always wear lightweight and breathable clothing that covers your skin to protect it from direct sun exposure. And wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to shield yourself from harmful UV rays. This will not only help prevent sunburn but also minimise the risk of heat-related illness.

4. Take Advantage of Fans and Ventilation

Maximise airflow and create a more comfortable environment by using fans or opening windows. Position fans strategically to create a cross-breeze and open windows to promote air circulation and let fresh air in. This will help dissipate heat and keep the space cooler as you clean. If you need to clean on a particularly hot day then placing a bowl of iced water in front of your fan will cool the air down even further, being careful to keep it a safe distance apart from your fan or other electrical devices.

5. Prioritise Energy-Efficient Cleaning Tools

Choose energy-efficient cleaning tools and appliances that generate less heat. Consider using microfibre cloths or mop heads, which are highly absorbent and require less physical exertion. Additionally, choose cleaning solutions that do not require hot water, as this can further contribute to heat build-up in your home.

6. Break Down Tasks into Smaller Jobs

Instead of tackling large cleaning tasks all at once, break them down into smaller, manageable segments. Clean one room at a time or focus on specific areas within a room. This approach not only allows you to work more efficiently but also prevents excessive heat exposure and reduces the risk of exhaustion.

7. Delegate and Share the Load

Cleaning doesn’t have to be a solo task. Enlist the help of family members or housemates to share the cleaning responsibilities. Dividing the tasks not only lightens the workload but also reduces the individual heat exposure. By working together, you can complete the cleaning tasks much faster and make the process more enjoyable.

8. Use Natural Air Fresheners

Avoid using chemical-based air fresheners that can release additional heat or artificial scents. Instead opt for natural air fresheners to keep your home smelling pleasant. Place bowls of citrus slices or herbs in strategic locations to infuse the air with a natural and refreshing aroma.

Cleaning in the heat of summer may seem daunting, but with these practical tips, you can tackle the task while staying cool, comfortable, and safe, even when temperatures outside are soaring! Need some help from the professionals? Contact our friendly cleaning team today.

Bespoke Service

We are not happy until you are! Your cleaner will usually tailor their services to fit exactly with your requirements, including spring cleaning and ironing.

Peace of Mind

Only 1 in 50 applicants makes it on to our carefully screened database. We interview them twice, visit them in their own homes and take up at least two references. And if they still subsequently don't measure up to your standards, we will send you someone who does.

Personal Cleaner

We don't operate in teams, and therefore you get the same cleaner every week. This is good because you develop a relationship with your cleaner. We have some clients who have had the same cleaner for years and years - and that's what we want for you.

COVID-19 5th January Update

 

Just to let you know we are open for business as usual and you can continue to have your cleaner clean your house.

The government has made it clear that cleaners are still permitted to work inside peoples' homes as long as Government Guidelines on social distancing and staying safe are followed (see below). In summary:

You can be outside of your home for work purposes where your place of work remains open and where you cannot work from home, including if your job involves working in other people's homes.

The full text can be found here New National Restrictions from 5 January (in England; there are similar texts available for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Specifically relating to cleaners, the guidance continues: 'This guidance applies to those working in, visiting or delivering to home environments. These include, but are not limited to, people working in the following areas:

  • 'This can include work in other people's homes where necessary - for example, for nannies, cleaners, social care workers providing support to children and families, or tradespeople (this is not an exhaustive list)'

Note this guidance is for people who are fit and well, and is dependent on the following social distancing guidelines being followed:

  • No work should be carried out in a household where people are isolating or where an individual is being shielded.
  • The cleaners can continue work, providing that they are well and have no symptoms. No work should be carried out by a cleaner who has coronavirus symptoms, however mild, or when someone in their own household has symptoms.
  • No work should be carried out in a household where any occupants are clinically extremely vulnerable to coronavirus, or households with a possible or confirmed case of coronavirus.
  • Whilst in the house. a cleaner should maintain a safe distance of at least two metres from any household occupant at all times, and ensure good ventilation in the area where they are working, including opening the window.
  • Upon entering the home, cleaners should wash their hands using soap and water for 20 seconds.
  • Cleaners should wash their hands regularly, particularly after blowing their nose, sneezing or coughing, and when leaving the property.

The good news with regard to cleaning is that the cleaners can social distance from their clients very easily, and we would advise that, if you are at home when they are there, that you remain in a separate room to your cleaner.

If you are happy to adhere to the government guidelines - and if your cleaner has not been in touch already - then please just call the office and we will ensure that your cleaning continues.

Best regards
