What is Deep FOG Sanitizing?

deep fog sanitizing

If you’ve been following us for the last few months, you may have noticed we’ve been expanding our menu of services we refer to include all sorts of home care in addition to our signature Maid Service (see the full list below). Now we’ve added something new and truly amazing: Deep “FOG” Sanitizing & Antimicrobial Treatment!

The Ultimate Deep Cleaning

Your ENTIRE living space can be TOTALLY sanitized in LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. How? With Deep “FOG” Sanitizing!

This is a remarkable process where the cleaning professional uses a special “electro-static emitter” to put a sanitizing “fog” into the air that penetrates every part of your home or apartment.

Within just a few minutes of dwell time, EVERYTHING in your space will be completely sanitized. All surfaces, walls, carpets & floors, all surfaces, windows and sills… EVERYTHING.  It gets into every nook & cranny.

The whole process takes no more than 30 minutes.  It’s also 100% people and pet-safe, and with ZERO odor.  Best of all, it’s surprisingly affordable.

It’s like the ultimate “deep cleaning”!  Since it doesn’t remove dust, we recommend a maid cleaning first. And if you’re looking to completely sanitize your space — especially if you’re at risk for illness, or to clean-up after an illness — there is simply no betterconvenient & quick, or affordable solution.

We’re Your “One-Stop Shop” for Home Care

Our clients ALWAYS receive special deals and referrals from our “ONE-STOP SHOP” family of home care service providers, including:

  • Maid Service (our signature service) — weekly, bi-weekly, 3+ times per week, occasional cleanings, move-in/out, or one-time cleanings

From Irvine to Glendale, Newport Beach to Long Beach, Mission Viejo to Pasadena and everywhere in between, we’ve got you covered with expert specialty home care specialists!

We only refer top-quality home-care professionals and maids (independent domestic workers) that are security-conscious, with wonderful personalities. They know how to get the job done right!

Halloween Cleanup

Glitter, Pumpkin Stains, and Candle Wax on Carpets

Once a year, ghosts, ghouls, banana men, and sexy witches knock on your door and bring out the Halloween spirit. As you open the door they joyfully say, “Trick or treat!“ as you hurriedly reward them with your prepared treats hoping that these would satisfy their devilish temper.  Most of the time treats work but sometimes, these aren’t enough to deter them from targeting you.  You wake up with all kinds of messes around your property and you panic. 

You’ve just entered… “The Halloween Cleanup Zone” (cue Twilight Zone music).  

Halloween Cleanup Tips

Howard’s believes that cleaning up after Halloween doesn’t have to be a terrifying ordeal. As Orange Country’s and L.A County’s best house cleaning agency, here are our tips for getting your home back to normal.  Disclaimer: we got these tips off the Internet, so your mileage may vary!

You’ve Got Eggs!

House got Egged on Halloween

So you awaken on November 1 from a peaceful sleep. No goblins or ghouls in your dreams! You stretch. You yawn. You put on a pot of coffee and start toasting your bagel. You crack a couple eggs in the pan. You’re officially awake now!

That’s when you notice something yellow streaking down your window… and the same thing on your other window… and…and… ACK! Your whole home is covered with eggs!! You’ve been “egged”!

If you’re facing an abundance of dried eggs all over your house, no need to panic. Don’t pour hot water over them as these would only make the situation worse. High temperatures will start cooking the eggs, congealing their proteins, making cleanup even more difficult. Instead, wet the area around the eggs and wait a couple of minutes. Then, use your hose’s water pressure to take as much off as you can. If the eggs are stubborn, mix a cup of non-bleach detergent, wet the area with the solution. Let the solution sit for a couple of minutes, and then start scrubbing using a soft-bristled brush. After scrubbing, hose the area with water and repeat if necessary.  

Your House as a Toilet Paper Zombie!

TP-ed on Halloween

Ah, the common Toilet Papering (“TP’ing”) prank…

Back when they used to make toilet paper that was strong and really worked, it was a nightmare to deal with — what made it “good toilet paper” is what made it really hard to clean up!

Nowadays, toilet paper is designed to disintegrate when it comes in contact with water. In fact, you may have noticed that some toilet paper brands start to disintegrate the minute you start <ahem>, um, <ahem> actually using it for it’s <ahem> intended purpose.

Well, if your home has been “Toilet Papered” you’ll have a much easier time cleaning it up if the perpetrators didn’t use the best, strongest brand! I can just picture the Product Development team at the toilet paper company “spit-balling” some new product ideas and coming up with this one: “Let’s make our toilet paper SUPER WEAK, because our customers will thank us when their house gets TP’d.

So, you can just wait for it to fix itself but you may want it gone as soon as possible. Use a power nozzle set to a direct spray to spray down your home or trees. Always remember to spray from the top, down. If you find the toilet paper isn’t disintegrating when in contact with water, then you’ll need to manually remove it. Sorry.     

Glitter, Pumpkin Stains, and Candle Wax on Carpets

With Halloween costumes and decorations all over the house, you’re bound to have some messes.  When it comes to glitter, a good old vacuum cleaner will do the job nicely.  For fabrics and other surfaces, a lint roller will come in handy, and If you don’t have one at home, painters tape or masking tape will do the job just fine.  

Pumpkin stains, though, are not so common. It only takes one careless move to make one pumpkin splatter everywhere.  If you managed to drop a pumpkin, use paper towels to pick up the splattered pulp but be careful not to rub it into carpet fibers.  As for the stains, pour a small amount of white vinegar and sprinkle baking soda over it, then let it sit for several hours and vacuum the area afterwards.  If the stain is still there, use a carpet cleaning formula and remember to follow its usage instructions.

Ever since the good old days of Bella Lugosi, Vincent Price and Elvira Mistress Of The Dark, the candelabra has been a Halloween MUST HAVE as part of the decorations. Ordinarily, filling your home with candlelight fills the mind with romantic thoughts — “Honey, can you make some chocolate-dipped strawberries while I get the bearskin rug out of the attic?” — but somehow, on Halloween, even romantic things can take a sinister turn. It gets especially sinister when your candles melt all over your couch and carpet!

As for candle wax on carpet, do not handle it when it’s hot, you can potentially burn yourself or make the situation worse by spreading it around. Instead, allow the candle wax to cool down and solidify. After that, use something like a dull knife to break apart the wax and sweep or vacuum the broken up pieces.

For cleaning candle wax on cloth surfaces like a tablecloth or couch, first try to break it up and manually remove as much as possible. Then place some clean newspaper over the wax spot and roll a hot clothes iron over the newspaper. The remaining wax will get absorbed by the newspaper and come right out of your cloth.    

Contact the Professionals

With all these tips, your Halloween cleanup will surely be a breeze.  But if you can’t take care of your Halloween cleanup right away or if you want to have a stress and worry-free cleaning experience, book a general house cleaning appointment with Howard’s House Cleaning Referral Agency Inc. 

Camilla and Jacob from Garden Grove are our frequent customers.  Fortunately, last year’s Halloween wasn’t a prank horror-show for them, but we were still able to give them a hand.  They’ve got this to say, “We had so many things planned, from house decorations to the Halloween party, we were pretty wiped out.  Luckily, Howard’s had our backs. All we had to do was to give them a call and set up a general cleaning appointment… and the rest was smooth sailing.  I would rate them a 5 / 5 stars.”

You can schedule a general house cleaning appointments suited for your needs. Call us through our hotline at 949-215-9550 or visit our website. You can also connect with us on social media. When you need professional house cleaning, carpet cleaning and window cleaning, Howard’s is always at your service.

End of Summer House Cleaning!

Lounge in the summer

Being that it’s officially the last day of Summer 2020, it’s time to say goodbye to Summer House Cleaning and say hello to Fall! Hopefully, you have used Howard’s to get your maid service in order, so you (a) haven’t had to do any of that deep “Summer Cleaning”, and (b) you haven’t had to RE-DO any of that deep “Summer Cleaning” (when you get top quality maids, you don’t ever have to re-do their work!).

Of course, we’re all here in Southern California, so doesn’t REALLY feel like the end of summer until, what, sometime in mid-November? Let’s call it the “SoCal Summer”! Anyway, most of us would like to get a few more things done before autumn. The feeling of dread starts kicking and you want to savor every minute of summer. There are plenty of activities that can be done whether you are at home or outside enjoying the nice summer heat.

Howard’s recommends the following activities that can help you relax and enjoy the rest of your “SoCal Summer” without shedding out any money. These can be done in the comforts of your humble abode. It is time to savor the last days of [what still feels like] summer!

Watch an entire television series or movies

Summer-Bingewatch

Binge-watching is a treat for homebodies. Online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu are lifesavers for most people. For example, Netflix has a number of new shows that launch around this time of year. (A couple personal favorites in the latest batch of Netflix shows are Umbrella Academy and Away!) Watch movies that depict the great things that can happen during summer. You can also catch up with that television series you have wanted to finish since the beginning of summer.

Read your favorite book

Read During the Summer

You can allot the last days of So Cal Summer in finishing that book you stopped reading. Delve into the pages of literature with a refreshing beverage in hand while seated in a comfy chair. The peace and quiet of your reading corner can be relaxing especially in the confines of your own home. It’s good for your brain, and good for the rest of your body.

Make a snack buffet

Snacks in the summer

Eating healthy is always important but it would be nice to spend the day to eat your favorite sweet and salty snacks. Set up a snack buffet of your favorite chocolate bar, cookies, candies, or your favorite chips. If you have fulfilled your appetite, you can set them aside. But do watch that sodium… it can add up fast! Try an alternative like “Mrs. Dash”, or a lower-sodium option like “Jane’s Crazy Mixed Up Salt”, which uses a combination of sea salt (naturally lower in sodium) and herbs for some great flavor.

If you’re a popcorn lover, there are some really healthy low-sodium bagged options out there, or of course, you could pull out the kettle and make your own — try popping it with olive oil for a unique tasty, healthier alternative to butter or vegetable oil!

Relax and chill this summer

It can be a bummer if work takes too much of our time. We always spend summer on vacation, but maybe you feel like extending it a little. Enjoy one day of just sleeping or lounging around. Just laze around the house and forget any schedules. Turn off your phone, TV and other electronics. Unplug your Alexa — she needs a break too. Even remove your watch. And by all means, leave the summer house cleaning to us!

Computers, phones, TV — all those distractions can be exhausting! Just try to spend a day doing NOTHING. Make it a day all for yourself. The lack of distractions will help you reset and be more productive when you head back to work. Of course, then you can jump right back into binge-watching on Netflix!

Labor Day House Cleaning

We all know Mondays can be a drag. Luckily, tomorrow, September 7th, is Labor Day! We all know that Labor Day entails a long weekend. We would rather spend this time enjoying the company of our friends and family.  Labor Day also marks the end of summer. Thus, making it even more important to spend the day with our loved ones before busy schedules take over our lives.  

But why do we celebrate this day? What is its significance? 

What is Labor Day?

What is Labor Day - Howard's House Cleaning Referral Agency Inc.

Labor Day is an annual celebration of workers and their achievements that helped develop the working standards that we Americans know today. 

Labor Day comes off the back of America’s most dismal labor periods dated back to the height of the Industrial Revolution.  In this time period, twelve-hour, seven-day work weeks were ingrained in society for people to make ends meet. 

Child labor was also common during this time despite restrictions in some states. Children, as young as five years old, were worked hard in mills and factories. They had salaries only a fraction of adult wages.  Workers also faced very poor and unsafe working conditions. They had little access to fresh air and sanitary facilities.  

As businesses grew, so did its workforce and its representations. Labor unions started to rise in prominence.  As their prominence arose, so did their voice. Unions had began organizing strikes and rallies in protest of poor working conditions. They had compelled employers to renegotiate work hours and pay.  

Not all of these protests were peaceful though.  Some of these have turned violent and have caused several fatalities.  In the height of this movement, many have stopped working outright or were continually striking.  Congress had to ultimately step in to get the workforce back and running. It passed an act that made Labor Day a national holiday and president Grover Cleveland signed it into law on June 28th 1894.  

How do we celebrate it?

How do we celebrate Labor Day - Howard's House Cleaning Referral Agency Inc.

Many celebrate Labor Day through barbecues, trips, parades, fireworks and other gatherings. We don’t want you to miss out on all the fun with your friends and family.  Howard’s House Cleaning Referral Agency is always at your service to provide you with the best house cleaning service in Orange County. 

Lucille and Dan from Laguna Woods have been long-time customers of our house cleaning service and we’ve helped them out many times before.  They’ve got this to say, “We really do try to take advantage of the long Labor Day weekend to spend time with kids and our friends.  Most of our time is spent at work and cleaning is usually an afterthought.  We usually do that cleaning in our free time but we don’t really like sacrificing the limited time we have with our family and friends.   Howard’s is such a blessing in our lives because all we have to do is give them a call and set a date, giving us all the time we want. Their cleaning is exceptional and their service is very professional.  I would rate them a 5 / 5 stars.”

Book a house cleaning appointment today and experience the best in Orange County and LA County. You can get $20* off in time for our Big Labor Day Cleaning! We can provide you the best deals and services you need to make your home clean and comfortable especially this Labor Day!

House Cleaning During COVID-19

Hiring a House Cleaner During COVID-19

COVID-19 has brought plenty of change especially for employees and entrepreneurs. In this new normal phase, most employees work remotely at home. Everyone’s at home due to the pandemic. Where does house cleaning during COVID fit within this picture?

Keeping your house clean is the first line of defense against disease and illness, and one of the most controllable factors in keeping you and your loved ones healthy!

However, you might not have the time or energy for house cleaning. In that case, hiring someone to do the house cleaning for you can be a huge relief. But is it safe to do that during COVID-19?

There is no definite answer as to when exactly is it safe to let someone inside the confines of your house. Factors differ in different areas and situations. In order to address this, here are the things to consider in making the decision.

Check state and local stay-at-home guidelines

Precautions During COVID-19

Know your area’s official recommendations and restrictions. Get updates if quarantine orders have been lifted. These orders may be implemented if COVID-19 cases arise.

The idea of a house cleaner in your home

Discuss with your family the idea of a house cleaning entering the home. It is always your priority to put you and your family’s safety first especially in the time of the coronavirus pandemic.

At the same time, keeping your home clean is the best protection against illness. Remember, even the more common maladies like the cold virus can make you more susceptible to something more serious like COVID-19. Homes that are not clean are known to have poor air quality — something that does not help your lungs stay healthy. Keeping your home clean and dust free is recognized as one of the best ways to prevent many illness, especially respiratory illnesses!

The health status of your family

Precautions During COVID-19

If you or someone in your family is at high-risk in contracting the coronavirus, you will want to discuss this with your house cleaners in advance so they can make the necessary preparations to ensure your safety. You may also talk with your physician regarding your plans to see if there are any additional recommendations they have for your safety.

It would be best to let your house cleaning agency know whether you or any of your loved ones have been sick in the past 48 hours to protect the cleaners they refer to your home from any risks of COVID-19.

When you schedule a house cleaning appointment with Howard’s, please let us know if you or any of your family members have been sick for the past ten days. You can also let us know of any specific personal needs. We will take note of them and inform the house cleaning professionals before they visit your home.

Our customer’s story

Maggie from Tustin shares her story of hiring Howard’s during the pandemic and how we take precautions to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

“I started working from home since June and I cannot juggle work and home. My husband helps me out with the kids. With the rising cases of COVID-19, it makes me think about the safety of my family.

Howard’s is always my go-to house cleaning referral agency. His house cleaners are professionals and always know what I want when it comes to cleanliness. They follow the guidelines the health sector implemented. I know my family and I will be safe when they clean our house.

With the pandemic, I take extra safety precautions in making sure my family and Howard’s house cleaners will not be exposed to any health risks. Howard’s always accommodates my specific needs and that’s what I love about them.”

Your home should be the safest place for you and your loved ones. That’s why Howard’s is always ready to service our customers during the pandemic. You can schedule a house cleaning appointment with us by calling 949 215 9550 to learn more about our house cleaning referral agency and how we can help fight against COVID-19.

Weekend Summer House Cleaning

It’s the weekend again! You’ve spent the entire week working and you’ve decided that when the weekend comes, you’ll do something fun. Somehow that doesn’t happen. You look around the house and it is a total mess. You would allot the entire day to make your house look spick and span, but going to the beach sure sounds more fun.

There is no need to worry about cancelling that weekend plan of yours. All you have to do is pick up the phone and call Howard’s. We are always at your service to do the house cleaning while you splash the cool waters.

One of our dear clients, Darlene from Huntington Beach, shares her story of how Howard’s saved her plans from being postponed.

“My family and I always schedule a family get-together every weekend. Stan and I work every day while the kids are in school so there’s barely any time for us to bond as a family. As a mom, I can’t even squeeze in the time to do a full house cleaning. I found out about Howard’s House Cleaning Referral Agency while browsing Instagram. After my first schedule with them, I immediately had their number on my speed dial so I can book a weekly house cleaning schedule with them. I just adore Howard’s excellent and professional cleaning services. They are the best!”

(100) Days of Summer

Finally, Summer is here! How are you going to spend 100, well technically 93, days of summer? I’m sure you’ve got tons of plans and ideas. How about house cleaning? I know you don’t want to spend the entire day cleaning all the while you could be out with friends or family.

When you need some house cleaning done, you can rely on Howard’s to do that for you. No need to cancel any plans you’ve been looking forward the entire week.

Timothy from Fullerton has shared his experience with Howard’s House Cleaning Referral Agency.

I’m a single dad who resides in Dana Point with my son, Jackson.  I am at work for almost the entire week so I leave my son at my sister’s house, which is a block away.

During Saturdays and Sundays, I always make sure to spend time with Jackson. Now that it is summer, I got tons of plans to do with my kid.

My sister reprimands me about how messy our house can be. What can I say? I’m a guy who works most of the time and all I want is to take a rest the minute I get home. She suggested that I book a house cleaning schedule with Howard’s especially now that they’re giving a big summer cleaning discount. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now, I don’t have to think about spending my days off cleaning the house. I could just spend it with Jackson while the professionals do the cleaning for me. Thanks Howard!

Spend your days off with your loved ones this summer while we take care of your house cleaning. Dial Howard’s today at 949 215 9550 or visit our website at howardshousecleaning.com.

The Importance of Hand Washing

Hand Washing

Did you know that one way to keep yourself safe from getting sick is to wash your hands? Yes, it’s as easy as that aside from eating healthy and drinking your vitamins. There a lot of diseases that have spread all because of the fact that people didn’t wash their hands properly.

Proper hand washing before handling anything is a good way to kill harmful viruses and bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hand washing can prevent 1 in 3 cases of diarrhea and 1 in 5 cases of respiratory infections such as a cold or the flu. You should also keep in mind that touching your eyes, nose, mouth and face and other parts of your body and even household surfaces should be avoided when you are unsure of the cleanliness of your hands.

The Discovery of Hand Washing Importance

A Hungarian physician, Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, discovered the medical benefits of proper handwashing. On the 20th of March 1847, Dr. Semmelweis introduced the washing of hands with chlorinated lime solutions for interns who had done autopsies. During his tenure at Vienna General Hospital in the mid 19th century, there was an unknown and poor disease called “childbed fever”. Thus, it led to high mortality rates in maternity wards across Europe.

Hand Washing

He discovered through a thorough investigation that the doctors themselves were the cause. For instance, a doctor who went through autopsies of cadavers would later attend a mother in labor. Think about where the hands of the doctor had come from!

Semmelweis later ordered something that most doctors did not agree with: Proper handwashing after every patient examinations. After that, there was a reduction of new mothers getting the childbed fever. Thanks, Dr. Semmelweis!

Proper Hand Washing Prevents Spread of Infectious Disease

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, handwashing education reduces the spread of numerous diseases.

Hand Washing

The number of people who get sick with diarrhea reduced by 23-40%. Diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems reduced by 58%. Respiratory illnesses in the general population reduced by 16-21%. Absenteeism due to gastrointestinal illness in schoolchildren reduced by 29-57%

Through proper handwashing, we can prevent the following:

Hand washing

First of all, touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with dirty hands is a big no-no. These are the places where germs can get it and we are never even aware of it.

Hand Washing

Also, dirt can get into the food that you eat. If you don’t wash your hands before preparing, you might get sick in the stomach.

Aside from that, you can also get germs from handrails, tabletops, and other objects or surfaces. This is through transmission from someone who did not wash their hands.

Lastly, we also need to think of how to clean our homes. That’s where we can help you out. We have the best referral and professional cleaners. They always practice proper handwashing and proper hygiene too.

If you aren’t confident with yourself or you just want the best for your family, another answer is to hire the professionals Howard’s House Cleaning Agency can refer. The professional cleaners we refer are trained to have the best-in-class cleaning practices that prioritize your health and safety. With their expertise, you will rest easy knowing that your house is not just clean but THOROUGHLY CLEAN!

We spoke with Lucy S., one of our recurring customers from Fullerton, about her experience with the professionals we referred — and she had this to say: “After witnessing how Howard’s [referred maids] clean, I’m really impressed. They truly are professionals. They didn’t just clean the obvious stuff but they also made sure that the common areas where me and my kids usually touch are cleaned and disinfected. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a thorough cleaning.”

So there you have it. There is such a big impact just by washing your hands properly. With that, get those hands soaping, scrubbing, and a thorough washing! Always remember to keep safe and stay healthy!

PSA from Howard of HHCRA

maids

PSA from Howard of HHCRA

As you know, the maids (Independent Domestic Workers) referred by Howard’s are the best in the business. They are experts in cleaning and sanitizing. That’s one problem resolved.

Next; some of our clients require the maids to wear a mask. This is nothing new. The client’s supply them. We are also recommending that the clients use some sort of aerosol sanitizing spray periodically, or as needed. Again, the clients typically already have one of their choosing.

Finally; the maids are aware of the health issues, and are paying attention to everyone’s benefit.

Just a quick note. I’m sure you’ve been bombarded with all kinds of information about the Corona Virus on the television and internet… Also; remember it’s Flu & Cold season. So, drink a lot of liquid, and keep nourished. Here are some common-sense ideas…

Practice Good Hygiene

1) Wash your hands frequently

maids

We never know where our hands have been so make sure to wash your hands. Pick a 20-second part from your favorite song and sing it while you do.

2) Avoid touching your face, nose & eyes

maids

As much as possible, don’t touch your face even when it feels itchy. You can use a clean handkerchief or tissue paper to wipe your face.

3) Cover coughs & sneezes

maids

Listen, it is always important to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. It is also proper decorum and avoids spreading droplets.

4) Disinfect surfaces regularly

maids

We never long how long it will last on the surface so make sure to disinfect your furniture and fixtures.

5) Limit handshaking

Human to human contact may be a way to spread unwanted diseases or viruses. Make sure to avoid touching someone else.

6) Maintain Social Distancing

Maintain a distance of one meter away from another person. It may be hard especially if you’re the kind of person who likes to hug or be hugged.

Meeting & Travel Precautions

1) Stay home if you are sick

It’s better to be safe than sorry as they always say. If you are sick and don’t want someone else to catch it, please stay at home and isolate yourself so you can recover fast.

2) Consider postponing travel plans

Why travel during the global crisis? Big discounts aren’t really worth it if you are going to be sick just by traveling. How about a stay-cation instead.

3) Avoid large gatherings

We never know who we get in contact with crowds. Avoid them for now.

4) Conduct video conference meetings

With the power of technology today, we can still see each other but through our screens. If it is an important topic to be talked about, you can schedule a group message or video conference.

WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. TIME TO GET SAFE:

The maids referred by Howard’s House Cleaning Referral Agency, Inc. are literally the best in the business. They are experts at cleaning and sanitizing. If you need help, call us … (949) 215-9550. ALWAYS… AT YOUR SERVICE!

Kindest Regards, Howard

Ways To Attain Good Hygiene

Good Hygiene

Ways To Attain Good Hygiene

Good Hygiene, and ways on how to attain it. Do you remember when you were young? Your parents always told you to clean up before eating? Take a bath every day? Nowadays,  with what’s going on right now, I think we should take those reminders seriously.

Let us take a calming moment and remind ourselves of what we can personally do in order to maintain good hygiene that can have good benefits for our immune system and prevent diseases and viral infections.

Wash your hands more often

Good Hygiene

We can never tell or remember what we’ve touched using our hands. With that, it’s always better if we wash regularly. You can also use isopropyl alcohol or alcohol-based hand sanitizing gel. Isopropyl alcohol that have 70% solution are better than 40% when it comes to disinfecting. These are handy when water and soap are not available.

Bathe Regularly

Good Hygiene

Always take a bath! Scrub your body with soap or body wash. Doing such helps in removing dead skin cells. This also helps in getting rid of the germs and dirt that have clung to you for the rest of the day. Aside from that, it leaves you feeling refreshed. You can also use a shower cap if you don’t feel like washing your hair every day.

Brush Your Teeth

Good Hygiene

In order to attain good dental health, you have to brush your teeth twice a day or every after a meal. This is important as it prevents gum diseases that may lead to complications. You can also use mouthwash when you aren’t carrying a toothbrush around. Flossing is also important as it takes out the nook and crannies that brushing cannot reach.

Trim Fingernails and Toenails

Good Hygiene

Do you notice every time you look at your fingernails and see dirt underneath them? Where did that come from? Did I scrape something dirty? Yikes! Aside from maintaining the cleanliness of your nails, it also prevents hangnails and other damages.

Wear Deodorant

Good Hygiene

One thing to remember is that you need to smell fresh and clean. This is where using a deodorant comes in. Also, if you sweat profusely and want to control that sweating, you can also use an antiperspirant. Use natural and aluminum-free deodorants.

Clean Your Hair

While taking a bath, make sure to massage your hair. Doctors recommend that you wash your hair twice or thrice a week but that all depends on your hair quality.

Now that we know how to maintain our personal hygiene, we also need to think of how to clean up our surroundings. This is also specifies our own homes. If you want hassle-free cleaning and sanitizing, you can schedule a regular appointment with Howard’s House Cleaning and Referral Agency.

We refer professional house cleaners that can provide quality cleaning and sanitizing services. They can disinfect your house from dirt and other viral infections. There is no need to fear for as long as you maintain cleanliness and discipline.

A cleaner home… is a healthier home.
