Fall time means raking leaves, getting the outside ready for winter, but your inside living space needs a little fall clean up to. We found this great link that has a wonderful check off list to help you keep track. And dont worry, our teams can help you with your fall cleaning punch list too!
Fall is my most favorite season. Not only is the air crisper, the fall foliage beautiful, and the weather cooler, it’s also time to air out the house and clean it thoroughly before winter.
Once winter arrives, we tend to hibernate a bit and that is much more fun with a clean home! Also, by doing some extra deep cleaning now, holiday preparations will be easier.

Normally we don't like repeating ourselves but in recent light of certain current events, we feel it's necessary.
Cleaning and Disinfecting for Coronavirus
Many of us are staying home to remove ourselves and our loved ones from harm’s way and/or to at least slow the spread of this deadly virus. Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new threat and we are all uncertain on the proper precautions at this time. We, here at Maid Brigade, have excellent standards of cleaning and we are thorough in our process, but in this article we hope to give you some instruction on what you can do to ensure as safe and healthy a home as possible.
We encourage you to be vigilant in this fight against the virus. We would discourage you from trying to kill every bit of bacteria in your home. We want a certain amount of bacterial microbe around us. It actually keeps us healthier. These are our recommendations if you feel that you have an exposure or have active illness in your home.

How to remove old house smell: Dry the place out
“Opening up the windows and airing the place out—like your mother did when spring came—can help,” says Carroll.
If your house tends to be humid and you’re sure you don’t have any leaks, "Keep your air conditioner or a dehumidifier running," suggests Carroll.
Oh, and if you do have a leak of some kind—even if it's just a leaky faucet?
“That needs to be fixed before any progress can be made,” notes Carroll. (Progress meaning “fresh-smelling house.”)

Old House Smell: What Is It, and How Do You Get Rid of It?
What is Mold?
You may be asking how do you clean mold, but first, it’s important to know what you’re dealing with. Mold is a fungus that breaks down plant or animal matter like leaves, dirt, wood and food. Spores are transported in the air, so high levels outside make for favorable conditions to grow inside. Any home can develop a mold problem given the right conditions, and cleaning mold can be tough if you don’t have the right tools for the job. There are hundreds of thousands of types of mold with some that are likely to be found indoors. The thought of mold is an unpleasant one. Mold is a more common problem than most homeowners realize. Mold usually found in excessively moist places like bathrooms and basements where humidity is higher. Molds require two factors to grow indoors:

Many people don’t realize that pets are vulnerable to health hazards associated with traditional house cleaning products. Green cleaning is healthier for your whole family, including your pets.
Not All Labels Mean Safe for Pets
Keep in mind that green, or eco-friendly, cleaning products are not all the same. There are countless meanings and uses of the word “green,” and some products labeled this way may still contain toxins for pets.
Finding out which chemicals are being used, and if they are safe for use around pets, is indeed the best way to keep your family safe in the home.

11 Festive Ways to Celebrate Halloween at Home Instead of Trick-or-Treating
This year's Halloween traditions will look different, but you can still plan a fun night for the family! As Halloween approaches, we're making alternative plans for trick-or-treating. The CDC officially recommends skipping the activity entirely (it would be hard to social distance from all the other families on the sidewalks, and there’s really no way to stay six feet apart as you’re handing out candy), so we plan to have a fun at-home celebration instead. And of course, even if your neighborhood does allow trick-or-treating, you don’t have to participate if you don’t feel comfortable doing so. That might not be a popular decision with the little ones, but luckily we’ve got tons of alternative ideas that are just as fun—and still involve plenty of candy!

7 Things Your Windows Are Trying to Tell You
Your windows are talking, so listen up. They're telling you they're stuck, suffering from moisture damage, or letting in outside air.
Condensation Forms Along the Bottom or Corners of the Glass
Your window is trying to tell you: The house is not adequately ventilated, or there is a high moisture level in the home. This is less of a window problem and more of a moisture issue, but your window provides the telltale sign.

Tips for reducing Covid-19 risk during the holiday season
Ask yourself if you should get together at all
Some people should not be participating in any type of gathering. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this includes people who have been diagnosed with Covid-19, those who have coronavirus symptoms, people waiting for test results, or those who think they may have been exposed to someone with Covid-19 in the past 14 days. And remember that more than half of Covid-19 transmissions come from people who have no symptoms, says Dr. Blumberg.
Protect your older relatives. Deciding whether or not to get together with family should hinge at least partly on whether older relatives will be present.

How to Prep for Family Visits this Holiday Season
We hope that everyone has a safe and fun family filled Halloween weekend!
As the days get closer to Thanksgiving Day and most of us are still staying in our own homes. Holidays may not be like they were a year ago. I started going thru old family traditions and came upon a book that I read as a child and begged my mom to make the Cranberry Bread recipe found in the book. I loved how it smelled and that it connected me to the story of coming together, even when you may not know all the people sitting at the table.
I am grateful for this memory and sharing it with you.
Maybe this year, you can create a new family tradition and share this story of Cranberry Thanksgiving with your children, and enjoy the fun of baking the bread!
Being Grateful can help you relieve stress and manage life better. We are grateful for our customers allowing us to make their home life easier, cleaning their spaces for them. What are the things that make you feel grateful?

What are some COVID-19 related considerations for hosting overnight guests during the holiday season?
Consider whether you, someone you live with, or anyone you plan to visit with is at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, to determine whether to stay overnight in the same residence or to stay elsewhere. College students who travel to visit family or friends should be thought of as overnight guests. They and their hosts, which might include their own parents, should follow all overnight guest precautions to protect themselves for the duration of the visit. For longer visits, after 14 days of following guest precautions, the student, if without symptoms or recent contacts with anyone with COVID-19, can be considered a household member and follow steps to protect themselves and others.
Assess risk for infection based on how you or your visitor will travel.
Consider and prepare for what you will do if you, or someone else, becomes sick during the visit. What are the plans for isolation, medical care, basic care, and travel home?
Let's not forget that for some, the holidays are hard without having a pandemic. Lets remind ourselves, to take that extra moment and pause before before reacting to someone else. They may be having an even harder time than we know.
Home is where the health is: how to make your home energy efficient during social distancing. With the whole family or household spending so much more time at home, it’s important to prepare for a larger home energy bill. But don’t panic! Keep in mind that transportation energy use and cost will be reduced and help offset extra home energy.
Here’s how you can do even more to help the energy bill from blowing up too much:

COMPLETE CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
FOR YOUR HOME AND BUSINESS.
PUREcleaning® is the healthiest, most advanced and complete home cleaning and disinfection system on the market. Exclusive to Maid Brigade, PUREcleaning starts with a multi-point cleaning process to remove dirt and debris, and follows it with a powerful, non-toxic, EPA-registered disinfectant to remove harmful contaminants. Generated onsite, our Electrolyzed Water cleaner and disinfectant has no harsh residues, dyes, or odors, and is safe for people, pets, and the environment. Some cleaning services may use a disinfecting solution, but neglect to allow for proper dwell time to truly disinfect. Our electrostatic technology allows the disinfectant to bond to areas that are unreachable by traditional pump sprayers and does not need to be wiped away so the disinfectant can dwell and then air dry for proper disinfection. Maid Brigade is in homes, offices, gyms, schools and more each day cleaning and disinfecting to help prevent the spread of harmful viruses, germs and bacteria.

Yes, everything! Next, comes the sorting of your pieces into different piles based on keeping, donating or throwing away.
After you know which pieces you are keeping and what you are getting rid of, you can put everything back. The key to putting everything back is being smart about it. You will have to get a little creative for this…

From the bathroom and laundry room to the office, kitchen, garage and even the great outdoors, there are some expected and unexpected hazards your pet might face.

Biodegradable poop bags and kitty litter
Dog waste is full of harmful bacteria that can find its way from a storm drain into the water system. You can only imagine the potential health and environmental hazards associated with this. Be sure to always pick up after your dog and dispose of waste in the trash using biodegradable bags instead of regular plastic bags whenever you can. Organic, biodegradable plant-based litter and litter made from pine wood pellets, recycled newspaper, clumping sawdust, barley and dried orange peel can also be used in your cat’s litter box. The benefit here is that you can safely compost the used, biodegradable litter at home.

5 Ways to Clean with Snow!
Ever wanted to go out and play in the snow, but you really needed to get some cleaning done? Now you can do both! Fresh snow works wonders for cleaning some otherwise tough-to-clean items with ease.
Broom Cleaning
One of the easiest ways to clean a broom is to sweep it through the snow a few times. Don’t try to sweep up the snow (therefore scraping the dirt underneath); instead just move it through the snow horizontally so that the cold snowflakes can gather up the dirt from the broom. It is always best to use dry snow for cleaning, as the wet snow can dampen the bristles.

The Los Angeles Times has a feature on the increasing popularity of electrolyzed water for cleaning laundry without detergent, disinfecting medical instruments and wounds, sanitizing food, washing dishes — you name it.

ESOL (Electrolyzed water) – 16 questions you need answered
The electrolysis of the salt solution produces a mix of hypochlorous acid and sodium hydroxide.
The resulting water is a known cleanser and disinfectant or sanitizer. It is safe to humans and animals and because, over time it returns to its constituent parts, it is also environmentally friendly.
This solution is highly effective at killing:

PUREcleaning® with Electrolyzed Water
Maid Brigade pioneered the cleaning industry by being the first to introduce our Green Clean Certified™ system. Now, we’re the first to advance to PUREcleaning® with electrolyzed water!
PUREcleaning is our comprehensive house cleaning system. It uses an electrolyzed water solution. Electrolyzed water is completely toxin free. To prevent cross-contamination between rooms, we use color coded cleaning clothes (ex: green-dusting, red-bathroom). Our mops are also color coded and we use commercial backpack HEPA filtration vacuums.
Why are Electrolyzed Water solutions better?

5 Ways to Clean with Snow!
Ever wanted to go out and play in the snow, but you really needed to get some cleaning done? Now you can do both! Fresh snow works wonders for cleaning some otherwise tough-to-clean items with ease.
Broom Cleaning
One of the easiest ways to clean a broom is to sweep it through the snow a few times. Don’t try to sweep up the snow (therefore scraping the dirt underneath); instead just move it through the snow horizontally so that the cold snowflakes can gather up the dirt from the broom. It is always best to use dry snow for cleaning, as the wet snow can dampen the bristles.

7 ways to ensure your home is not a haven for germs this winter
Prevent the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, with these expert cleaning tips.
As the leaves fall off the trees and the cooler weather arrives, sadly the season of pesky bugs also sets in.
It's not just our bodies and immune systems we need to look after, however, we also need to look at how we can protect our homes from becoming germ and humidity incubators, which can lead to making you sick or your home becoming a breeding ground for mold.
"We all know that winter and germs go hand-in-hand. Naturally during the winter months we spend more time indoors, we bring germs in, and if we're not careful, they grow and spread.....

7 simple ways to get rid of germs and bacteria in your home
Most people associate high humidity levels with summer, but did you know that your home can have high humidity levels in the winter as well depending on your home and climate?
So, how do you reduce the indoor humidity in your home during the winter? In most climates, humidity levels tend to be low during the winter. High humidity levels inside a home during the winter are unusual, therefore, and usually a sign of major issues like water leaks, condensation problems and poor ventilation. Solving those issues, in addition to adding a powerful dehumidifier, should solve most humidity problems.
We’ll take a look at each one of those possible problems and how to fix them. We’ll discuss the following solutions that will help lower humidity during the winter months:

9 Things You're Doing to Make Your Home Dustier
When you think about what dust really is—a conglomeration of dead skin particles, insect parts, mold spores, ash, pollen, and more—you become more determined than ever to make sure your home is attracting as little of it as possible. The good news is, there a…
Still using an old T-shirt for dusting, just like your mom did? Drop it right now and head for the store. There’s a modern miracle called microfiber, which, thanks to its fine synthetic fibers, attracts much more dust than simple cotton fabric ever could. To make quick work of cleanups, choose a microfiber wand duster for tight corners and shelves, and a regular cloth for dusting tabletops and counters.

The Dirty Dozen: 12 Places You Probably Never Clean But Definitely Should
So, you think your house is clean? Well… you might have to think again! If you’re like most people, there are areas that you never even think about cleaning, unlikely places where dirt, dust, and germs may be lurking. Even if your home has its share of “dirty…
Door and window frames often harbor large accumulations of dust and dirt. A regular swipe with a microfiber or feather duster will help cut down on the dust buildup; a regular monthly or quarterly wipe with a soft cloth and plain water will keep those surfaces sparkling.

11 Ways to Winterize Your Home on a Budget
Keep the cold out, the heat in, and your energy bill down with these cost-effective tips for winterizing your home.
Ceiling fans are everyone's favorite summer budget-saver. But they can help out in the winter as well! Have your ceiling fans move in a clockwise direction so they push hot air along the ceiling towards the floor. If they're going counterclockwise, they won't be as effective.
