All Clean Services reminds homeowners to “think green” during National Cleaning Week.

Spring is here, winter is fading away, and it is time to get into the spirit of Spring Cleaning. To mark this age-old tradition, Spring Cleaning National Cleaning Week is this week: March 25 – 31.

All Clean Services kicks off National Cleaning Week with a few hints to keeping the environment clean as well. “Many people think about harsh chemicals and cleaning aids when they envision Spring Cleaning, but that does not need to be the case,” says Ken Celebucki, President and Owner of All Clean Services. “During this year’s National Cleaning Week we want homeowners to put the “Spring” back into Spring Cleaning by using non-toxic, safe and natural cleaning products.

All Clean Services offers these quick tips to “clean green” this Spring:

• Oven – Clean ovens and other surfaces that have contact with food with non-toxic, safe alternatives. For example, a solution of ¼ cup baking soda, ½ cup vinegar, and 1 gallon of water is great for cleaning grease on appliances.
  
• Children – Get rid of all poisonous cleaning products and start using natural products today.
  
• Air – Use citrus based air fresheners, which freshen the air naturally. Lemon is an especially great scent to welcome in Spring.
  
• Carpet – Use a carpet cleaning company that specializes in safe, non-toxic cleaning.
  
• Work and Home – Request that your cleaning service use natural products, or switch to a service that does.
  
  In the spirit of National Cleaning Week, All Clean is offering its new customers a special “Get Acquainted Offer” of $20 off their first cleaning. For existing customers, they are also providing a special $10 off their fourth cleaning. All Clean uses environmentally safe products and equipment.
  
  

Feng Shui – A Calm Home

In this day in age, we are busy, busy, busy with kids, work and the family as a whole and it is sometimes difficult to bring our positive energy through because it takes more time. And who has that! We’d like to suggest a simple and meaningful solution to this troublesome setback. The Ancient Chinese have used Feng Shui (pronounced FUNG-schway) for thousands of years to explore their surroundings to create harmonious energy. The goal of Feng Shui is to produce and enhance space that is favorable in bringing the flow of good energy leaving you to feel more energetic, creative and balanced. Thereby, increasing the potential for social and financial success and personal harmony. Many books are available to help you with ideas on how to Feng Shui your home. Here are a couple of ideas:

• People tend to feel uncomfortable--even unsafe--when their view is blocked, so be sure all of the seats in a room allow guests to see who is coming and going.

• Clutter is an obstruction in life force (or ch’i), so find a place for everything to feel more peace in your rooms.

• Bring more life into your family room and living areas with mirrors or crystals.
