Kick Off Earth Day with Cleaning Tips

All Clean Services is kicking off Earth Day with some friendly tips on how to “clean green” in honor of Earth Day. Earth Day is quickly approaching, April 22nd and All Clean wants to inspire people to “go green” with their cleaning routines to make a positive impact on the environment.

“This Earth Day people around the world will celebrate by planting a tree or cleaning a neighborhood park,” says Ken Celebucki, President and Owner of All Clean Services. “While these are important projects, we want to offer ideas to homeowners for making every day an Earth Day and preserve our environment by using cleaning methods that are earth friendly.”

Here are a few suggestions from All Clean Services:

Windows – Clean windows and mirrors with a non-toxic, safe alternative. For example, a solution of 1 cup rubbing alcohol, 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon vinegar makes a great window cleaner and consists of products you already have in your home.
Pets – Use tea tree oil for ticks and fleas. Works great on people too, as a safe, natural mosquito repellent.
Shower – Use natural shower cleaner that won’t hurt your lungs or body when you clean or shower. Mix lemon juice with vinegar and or baking soda to make a cleaning paste for your bathroom or shower.
Land - Support our environment by practicing the three R’s with dealing with trash: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Work and Home – Request that your cleaning service use natural products, or switch to a service that does. All Clean uses environmentally safe products and equipment.

In the spirit of Earth Day, All Clean is offering its new customers a special “Go Green Earth Day Special” of $35 off their first cleaning.

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.

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.
