10 Tips to a Cleaner Home in 10 Minutes



↳ Grab your smartphone and set a the timer for 10-minutes. This creates a healthy sense of urgency, forcing everyone in your home to focus on productivity rather than perfection.


↳ Start in the Living Room! Tidy throw pillows, fold stray blankets, and align remote controls so the main seating area looks inviting.

↳ Do a quick sweep of the room and collect anything that doesn't belong. Toss items in a basket to put away later, or place them neatly in their correct rooms.


↳ In the Kitchen, clear tables and countertops. Mist all areas with the Lemon Verbena All Purpose Cleaner and do a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth.


↳ Empty the Trash. Grab small wastebasket liners from around the house, combine them into one main bag, and replace with fresh liners.


↳ Clean your Kitchen Sink. Do a fast scrub of your sink to instantly make the entire room appear cleaner.


↳ Do a Quick Floor Sweep. Use a broom, a dry mop, or a handheld vacuum to target obvious crumbs, dust bunnies, or tracked-in dirt in high-traffic zones. Don't forget to use the Coconut Essence on your Stainless Steel Appliances!



↳ Clean the Bathroom! Mist all areas with a lemon verbena all purpose cleaner and do a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth; place all soiled/wet towels & clothes into the laundry basket.


↳ Make your Bed! Pull up your duvet and arrange the pillows. A tidy bed drastically reduces the visual clutter in your bedroom. Use the back-of-the door-hanger for a quick solution to pick up clothes tossed onto the floor.


↳ Let natural Light In. Open curtains and turn on overhead lights. Bright rooms feel cleaner, larger, and more energized.



↳ Get out your Citrus-Mint Glass Cleaner and clean your mirrors and windows. Keeping mirrors and windows clean lets in more natural light, boosts your home's look, and helps the glass last longer by preventing permanent marks from mineral buildup.

Cleaning high end homes requires more than just technical skill. It demands supreme discretion, meticulous property care, and an elite level of hospitality.

Clean Sheets Day!

  My favorite day of the week is Clean Sheets Day! Did you know that sliding into crisp, fresh sheets improves overall sleep performance? Clean fabric promotes better temperature regulation, which reduces nighttime sweating and helps you fall asleep more quickly. Your body sheds thousands of dead skin cells and produces oils every night. If not washed away, these residues transfer onto your skin, clogging pores and fueling acne or other forms of skin inflammation. Washing your bedding regularly is essential for maintaining good hygiene and health. It removes accumulated sweat, body oils, dead skin cells ― reducing acne as well as other skin conditions. Body secretions and sweat oxidize over time, leaving behind stale or musty odors. Regular washing keeps your bedroom odor free and inviting!
