Having an organised cleaning routine can benefit us in many ways. Cleaning aprons help us stay organised, and staying organised while we clean is a great way to improve the speed by which we clean. It might seem like an odd choice, using a cleaning apron just to clean our own homes—maybe once a week. […]
There are always extra little things we can do around the house. Cleaning these little things make a huge difference, and it gives our homes an extra shine. There’s no end to the extra upkeep and those extra touches that we can use to up our cleaning game. So, what about lightbulbs? They can definitely […]
Our kitchen countertops are something we clean multiple times a day. With how often we prepare meals in there, it’s an important step to keep everything (especially on kitchen counter tops) sanitary. Sometimes, no matter how frequently or how often we wipe down the counter tops, after we’ve used them, it seems as if there […]
Here at Maid to Shine, we talk quite a bit about the importance of wiping down furniture and other things around our homes to get up grime and built on dust. We all know it’s not always possible to dust to get things clean. Hand wiping is a great method to have handy. But sometimes […]
Dusting, as a part of our regular cleaning habit, is a good practice, but dusting only maintains objects. It isn’t meant to deep clean, and day-to-day dusting doesn’t work up the dust that has settled down into the grooves and surface of your household items.

When tidying up the kitchen, we’re quick to wipe down the stove and counter surfaces.

We touch the surfaces of these items a million times, but we never think about sanitising […]
A great chore for spring or fall cleaning is a thorough, deep clean of your blinds! Sometimes, the best cleaning routines can be spruced up with a good cleaning of the blinds. It’s a good idea to keep them dusted, or at the very least, to deep clean them twice a year! Cleaning the blinds […]
It’s much easier to advocate for natural cleaners and cleaning techniques than to simply jump in and use them. This isn’t because they’re hard to use, but we aren’t used to cleaning green. At Maid to Shine, we love to advocate the many reasons we should all be quick to use natural, green cleaners. It’s […]
The effort we put into cleaning and keeping our homes clean is because we care. We want the best for our families and ourselves. It’s only natural to have questions about how well natural cleaners work to disinfect our homes. Last week, we looked briefly at the myth that natural cleaners don’t work. We’re so […]
It’s no secret that Maid to Shine supports cleaning with 100% green, eco-friendly cleaning products. The question some might have: do they really work?
