Cleaning for the Cleaning Lady

Do you ever find yourself cleaning for the cleaning lady?

I do it all the time. And I remember teasing my mother when she would clean before Isabella, her sweet little cleaning lady, would come - and now I'm doing the same thing! I always thought Mom did it as an image thing - so that she didn't appear to be so messy.

I do it mostly for organizational reasons. I want to make sure my things are in their proper place so that they're not just put into piles for me to go through later - doubling the amount of work I must do. But I do clean as I organize to save my lady some steps herself. To some that may seem ridiculous.

If your cleaning person uses conventional toxic products for cleaning your house........here are some ways to clear your environment after those petrochemical based household products have been used:

• Open the window and doors (tough if the weather is cold)


• Run ceiling fans


• Diffuse therapeutic essential oils - they naturally destroy petrochemicals (try putting a drop of lemon oil on a Styrofoam cup to see how this works)


• Put a drop of therapeutic essential oil on your kitchen counter and bathroom sink area and wipe (orange or pine are good to use)


• Sprinkle a few drops of therapeutic essential oil in your bathtub and run the shower for a few minutes
  
  

If you do take the time to educate your cleaners on the use of non-toxic ways to clean your household, here are some suggestions to give them:

• To clean mirrors and windows: mix 1/4 c. white vinegar with 2 c. water and 1/2 tsp liquid soap - use in spray bottle


• If you want a natural abrasive for cleaning tubs, showers, and sinks: use Borax and mix with dish washing soap - add a few drops of lemon or pine essential oil


• Use Thieves Household Cleaner by Young Living Essential Oils. Thieves Cleaner is a proprietary suspension of safe surfactants (wetting agents) and Thieves essential oil blend. Thieves Household Cleaner is highly concentrated - here are the ratios to mix with water for these jobs:
  
  
  • Light Degreasing 60:1
  
  
  • Medium Degreasing 30:1
  
  
  • Heavy Degreasing 15:1
  
  
  • Floors 100:1
  
  
  • Walls 30:1
  
  
  • Upholstery, Fabrics, Carpet Spotting
    40:1
  
  
  • Carpet 100:1
  
  
  • Glass 320:1
  
  
  • Pots and Pans 100:1
  
  
  • Hand Cleaner 1:1
    
    

In our homes we have a choice who to bring in and which products they use. Finding and educating a service about using natural cleaners may be tough but worth it. We don't have a choice as to who cleans our rooms nor which products are used when we stay in a hotel.

Here are some tips on how to minimize exposure to toxic cleaners in your hotel rooms:

• Don't let the maid clean your room every day - just get your towels replaced and trash emptied, and make your own bed


• Place a hand towel sprinkled with your favorite therapeutic essential oils in the vents of the heat/ac system and turn on the fan


• Run a steam shower and dowse a few drops of lavender into the water streams
