Your Guide to Cleaning With Bleach
Bleach is a cleaning super power and is a permanent staple in our cleaning caddys. We love that it’s fast-acting with immediate results, which is important as our time is precious and we don’t want to be cleaning longer and harder than necessary. If you’re looking to transform your filthy house into a spotless, gleaming and germ-free home, bleach will do that for you and so much more.
It’s important to know when and how to use bleach so you reap all the amazing benefits.
Here is our cleaning recipe that put us on the map. We use this recipe in every home we clean.
Bleach Precautions
SAFETY FIRST. You don’t want any accidental stains to your home or harmful injuries to anyone present while cleaning. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind:
1. Dilution. Always follow the label instructions and safety guidelines on the bottle.
2. Ventilation. Open those windows and turn on fans while you clean.
3. Clothing.Wear old clothes you don’t care about but that is still protective. Gloves, a mask, and safety glasses while pouring are a good idea.
4. DO NOT mix bleach with any cleaning products other than Tide®. Our saying goes: “Water, bleach and Tide®. Anything else you get an ambulance ride.” Here are some common mixes that could land you in trouble:
5. Test surfaces. Bleach is not for every surface. Do not use on marble. Use caution on porous surfaces and test a small area first.
6. Drips and stains. Err on the side of caution and be careful with bleach around any fabric or carpet. We opt not to use bleach around these.
7. Storage: Keep bleach in its original container (it will degrade in the presence of sunlight) and out of reach from kids and pets (like your other cleaning chemicals).
Bleach is a must-have in our arsenal of cleaning products and we use it in every home we clean to get rid of germs, stains and odors.

Sneaky surprise clean for my Mom for Mother’s Day! She deserved this so much, she has scrubbed a lot of houses with me over the years. Many of you may not know this but my Mom has tagged along and helped with cleaning and training the team since day one. She knows the entire team inside and out and we all love to call her “Mom”. She taught me how to clean, how to run a business and most importantly, how to stand on my own two feet. Then I took everything she taught me and turned it into ✨ THIS ✨

I used Mr. Clean undiluted, sprayed it on and let it sit for about ten minutes, scrubbed and wiped it off well to rinse. Letting your cleaning products sit is part of the process, they do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. I think many of us get discouraged with cleaning products because we spray and wipe immediately with minimal results…dirt and grease needs time to soften and break down before you can remove it. However, there is always a little bit (or a lot) of elbow grease required, nothing in life is free 🙃

Recipe:
1 gallon of hot water in a bucket
1 teaspoon of powered tide laundry detergent
Microfibre cloth or a ripped up old towel—you need a cloth with texture to get into the grooves of the paint but do not scrub too hard or scrape because you’ll chip the paint.
Wipe the walls down and let it soften the boogers/food/dog slobber, then repeat. The hot water will help soften the crud, the tide will lift the dirt.
No need to rinse.
