Starting a Commercial Cleaning Company

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

These days people are always thinking of being their own boss, and living their life, and running their own business how they want to live, and run them. The problem that normally stops most people is what to do, how to do it, and how much can I make by doing it?

If you are not afraid of hard work, and you want to earn some good money doing a legitimate business, then why not start a commercial cleaning company?  Commercial cleaning companies can specialise in the following sectors of cleaning:

Carpet Cleaning

Offer carpet cleaning as part of your business and you wont be short of work, as carpet cleaning if not for only peoples home, but also for small business offices, and even the larger scale businesses need carpet cleaners to come in if there is a spillage of food, drink or print toner on the floor in the office. Once you get work with a company doing their carpet cleaning, as long as you do a good job and your are priced accordingly, then next time they need carpets cleaned you should be the first they call, also look out for referrals too.

Office Cleaning

This is seen as contract work. If you are able to sell your company to a number of small to large local businesses in the area that you operate in, then you would have a great business going forward. Office cleaning is normally seen as at the beginning or end of each day, the cleaning company will go into the office and dust, vacuum, and generally tidy the office area so that it is clean for the day workers. The same service can be tailored to the retail world. Cleaners can and do go to shops and retail outlets and clean the shop ready for the next days work.

End Of Tenancy Cleaning

End of tenancy cleaning can be used in two ways. First of all if you are renting a property and you are coming to the end of the duration, and you are now moving on to another property, you often have an inspection before you leave the property by the landlord. If the property in not in a tidy state when leaving the property the landlord usually has a clause in the contract that they are allowed to keep any deposit that was given at the beginning of the tenancy agreement (usually one months rent).

The other way that you may gain business by this stream is if someone has moved out and not left the let property in a decent order, then the landlord will have to use an amount of that deposit that he has kept from the previous tenant to hire a cleaning company to tidy the property before new prospects come to view the property to rent.

Builders Cleaners

If you are based in a city, or an area like London that has a lot building works happening then this will be a very large chunk of business that you can rely on to keep you going if you can gain the right contacts. Builders leave a lot of mess when doing building works in peoples houses, some more than others, and some jobs cause more mess, and therefore need more cleaning than others. If you are able to gain contracts with building companies, then you can gain a lot of business from going to each and every building job that they do, and clean up after they have finished their work. If you are able to get two or three large building contracts, then that should be enough work on its own for a medium sizes cleaning company.

Pub Cleaning

Pub cleaning is a great type of contract to gain, as the hours are normally pretty good, you can usually go and start working in a pub at about 8am – 10am as doors regularly do not open until 11am in most pubs across the country.

If you think that you are able to gain some of the above works, and you think that being a commercial cleaning company owner is appealing to you, then give it a try first by going to work for a small cleaning company and you will get to see what it is like to work in the environment.

If you still feel that it is right, then start off by gaining some clients from the fields above, and if you do, start off small by doing the work yourself, and as you gain more clients, then take on more people, and slowly grow your cleaning business at a speed that is comfortable to you. Don’t feel that you have to accept work if you cant handle it, as bad press spreads quicker than good.

Groovy Golfing Accessories For The Avid Golfer

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Constant innovation in the golf industry has made for many interesting inventions and advancements. Golfers have seen many benefits, including higher quality golf clubs and golf courses among many other things. In the past, golf has been seen as a slow and tiresome sport, requiring lots of work and trekking on the part of the golfer.

Well, there have been many different golf accessories released in recent years that will make everything about golfing easier. Some of them have been widely publicized, while some have slipped between the cracks. Either way, read on to find out about accessories that can make your life easier.

How about the many brands of glasses that allow you to better see the golf ball that you have just hit? They filter out most of the light that is emitted by non-golf ball objects, leaving the golf ball outlined perfectly against the grass.

If you lose your ball a lot or have trouble keeping track of balls once you hit them, these glasses can be a great investment for you so that you can continue using the same ball rather than start with a new one. They are available in some golf club stores, but most of all they are available in a number of online stores.

There are many handy devices that are meant to help you practice various parts of your stroke. Perhaps the most popular ones are the ones dealing with the putt, which is one of the toughest and most important parts of the entire golfing process.

The many golf accessories related to putting are too numerous to name, but some of the most popular include an indoor putting green that provides you with balls and advice on your putt, a putter that holds numerous golf balls inside of its shaft to dispense when needed, and many other things.

You would think that tees are about as complex as they are every going to get, but this is not the case. New types of material have made it possible for tees to have new upper portions that act as brush-like surfaces.

When the golfer strikes the ball, the club will brush right past the top of the tee without smashing it or ripping it out of the ground. It’s almost like having the ball suspended in midair to hit with the club. If you want these, you will probably have to look online and buy a few dozen of them, since they are not carried at many club stores yet.

Computer scorekeepers will definitely make your life easier by keeping track of everyone’s scores and doing all of the calculations for you. They come in the form of small miniature computers, no bigger than the size of a GameBoy.

The number of supported players varies from device to device, but you shouldn’t have much of a problem finding one that supports the number of people that you need. There are even wristwatches with handicapping programs built into them. How is that for convenient?

Even the recycling of golf balls is more convenient now, with golf ball cleaners that you can purchase. All you have to do is pick up a bunch of old golf balls throughout the day, then drop them into the microwave sized cleaner.

In just a few minutes, the balls will be as good as new. By recycling balls in this way, you can save a huge amount of money. The cleaners are usually also capable of cleaning off the heads of golf clubs, which is a great convenience for those who are tired of cleaning the grass stains off of their clubs.

As you can see, all of these inventions have made golf much easier, and can speed up processes that would have been mundane previously. As technology continues to progress, hopefully we continue to see more golf accessories that are equally groundbreaking.

How to Use a Registry Cleaner

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Very few people are aware about even the existence of the registry of the computer, let alone the utility of registry cleaner. This is the central database of the system that stores information about the computer. All the details about he hardware that make up the system ands the software that runs on the system as well as the software that runs the hardware s stored in this database called the registry. The registry records all the activity that takes place on the system. This can be regarding which user logged on to the system to the time when the user logged off. The registry even records what sites were visited and what was downloaded et al. this means that the registry keeps on adding to the information in its database and so it must grow as the days go by. In the bargain the registry will grow to such a size with redundant and useless information that the speed of scanning the registry for information that is called up by some program will be much more than the speed of the processor and so the system will become sluggish and slow. Here is where the knowledge of how to use a registry cleaner will come handy to you.

What Is A Registry Cleaner?

A registry cleaner is software such a free Microsoft registry cleaner, ensuing registry cleaner,PC registry cleaner and express registry cleaner that scan the registry of the system and identify broken links, files, fonts, and any information that is not in any way needed or used by the system but is just lying there taking up disk space and slowing down the registry operations. The registry cleaner will identify and select such components and then prompt you to clean or repair the registry by clicking on the appropriate link.

How Does A Registry Cleaner Work?

Once you have downloaded the registry cleaner from the site onto your computer you will have to install the windows registry cleaner. There are many registry cleaners depending on the operating system you are using. Installing the free registry cleaner is not a difficult task. The system takes just a few minutes to complete the installation. If you are using XP you will not have to reboot the system for the registry cleaner to work. Clicking on the exe program of the registry cleaner will launch the registry cleaner. This is usually a link on the desktop. The registry cleaner will prompt you to scan the registry by clinking on ‘scan registry’ link. The pc registry cleaner will take about three minutes to scan the registry and then display the redundant links on the page. Then it will ask you to ‘repair the registry. By clicking on the ‘repair’ link. This process takes a couple of seconds. When you reboot your system the computer will be running more smoothly and efficiently because the junk has been removed from the system by the windows registry cleaner software.

Slow Computer? Fixing the Boot and Why You Should not Use Msconfig to Edit the Startup Files

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

The quickest way to see what loads at startup, is to run the MSConfig utility. MSConfig is a troubleshooting utility that lets you edit .INI files, services and startup files. While not documented in Windows help, it is explained in the online Windows XP Resource Kit. You must have Administrator’s rights to use the MSConfig utility.

To run MSConfig, click on Start/Run and type in MSConfig and enter. Clicking on the Startup tab will show you all the programs loading at start-up.

However, don’t utilize msconfig to disable startup applications. Though it functions as a basic startup manager, msconfig shouldn’t be used to alter your PC’s auto-start programs, because by doing that:

- you change the registry where there are services that are necessary for hardware and booting. Once you uncheck a service in msconfig, you disable it entirely.

- while disabled with msconfig, programs may not be uninstalled properly and orphaned entries often will be left behind.

- switching back to normal startup mode, the orphan entries can result in boot up errors.

- msconfig does not list all applications loaded in all possible startup locations, some entry points are hidden and unknown to the user.

- msconfig does not allow the complete removal of disabled entries from its list.

It is far better to use a startup manager. You can download quite a few managers and use for free. You can try out Mike Lin’s Startup Control Panel, Autoruns and Starter by CodeStuff. In any of these programs, If you untick an entry it will no longer run at startup. This will allow you to experiment and see how your system performs with any of them disabled.

But, first things first. Before you attempt any changes to the startup configuration it is wise to create a restore point which you can fall back on if an unforeseen problem arises.

Click on Start – Help and Support.

Click on the System Restore menu.

Select Create a restore point and click Next

Enter a name for the restore point and click on Create

The restore point has been created. Click Close.

Now you are sure that you have a point you can fall back to if you run into any problems altering your startup.

From a clean start, you can add back files, such as antivirus and firewalls that run at boot time. A major problem with editing the startup is knowing which files you need or not. Usually you can get an idea of what a file is by looking at the ‘command’ or ‘location’ column. The command is the actual executable file, including any options or switches, used to start a file. For example, the startup item ‘eventsrc’ has a command that shows us that it is in the Real folder, so we know it’s associated with the RealMedia player. The location shows where the command is executed from, usually from a registry key, or the Windows Startup folder.

If you don’t know what the file is or does, the Sysinfo.org startup list is a database of known files that you may encounter. When you find a file in the startup list you don’t know, for example, “eventsvc”, look it up in the database. But the database has many entries and the easiest way I found to identify these programs was to google them.

Now when you’re all done and you have disabled the uneccessary programs running at startup, your system should be booting faster and trouble free.

Now that you have partially fixed the slow boot, you can carry on with the process of fixing your slow computer.

To really speed up your slow computer you need to:

- Remove unused applications.

- Clean your browser’s history, temp data and your Favorite or Bookmark list.

- Optimize the Windows Registry

- Scan for and remove threats like viruses, malware etc.

- Take some more measures to make the boot process faster.

- Keep those startup apps you’ve disabled from reloading into the startup.

- Free your PC’s memory whenever possible.

- Schedule your cleanup programs to run automatically.

- Place all your data files together in one easy to use location.

- Defrag and organize your disks so that your most used files are in the fast lane.

- Optimize, tune and tweak your PC for optimal speed and stability.

I have researched and tested several products over a period of several months and in order for me to get our slow PC’s performance up to speed again, I made use of not less than 17 different products, each of which is designed to do a certain task on the computer. Eventually we ended up using 11 of these apps (all freeware) on a regular basis which keeps our PC’s performing clean and error free.

In forthcoming articles I’ll explain to you in detail, how to clear out forgotten programs, unused, unnecessary and junk files and how to clean and streamline the Windows registry.

Granite Floor – Advice, Information And Tips To Help You.

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

A granite floor is an excellent alternative to other types of flooring such as marble, wood, linoleum or various other tiles. Granite is often used in landscaping and for entrance, floor and other outdoor living areas. But a granite floor is also wonderful option for a kitchen, bathroom or other areas where homeowners are seeking alternatives to carpeted flooring. A granite floor is not only useful, but can be quite beautiful when style, color and design are carefully selected.

In addition to the fact that it is long lasting and aesthetically pleasant, those who choose a granite floor as opposed to the many other options out there can consider themselves environmentally friendly. Unlike other flooring materials, granite does not require destroying trees or use of other natural resources or harmful chemicals in processing.

This type of application can consist of either slab or tiles. Most consider slabs to be more pleasing to the eye than tiles. Like any other type of flooring, a granite floor can become damaged with time. A granite floor in a heavily trafficked living area might become worn over time, and dulling can occur. Another disadvantage is that it can also come off. Care should be taken to avoid putting items like containers holding acidic beverages or certain types of soaps and shampoos on the floor. Regular polishing can correct most deficiency in a granite floor. Polishing also helps with any water rings or spots that might mar its appearance.

The person responsible for cleaning will be pleased to know that it’s a relatively easy job. Granite can be vacuumed or dust mopped, and should also be wet mopped on a regular basis. A neutral detergent should be used when wet mopping. Granite can also be cleaned with a regular household window cleaner. An advantage of granite is that it is much less porous than marble or other types of stone. But while less so than other types of stone, granite is porous and thus some colors can absorb moisture and appear discolored.

If you have little ones running around your home or a furry friend or two this might be a good choice for a floor. A granite floor will generally not crack from the damage of everyday use as might other types of flooring. Any damages to granite generally occur during shipping or installation. Overall, this is an excellent choice for someone seeking a flooring option that offers both natural beauty and minimal maintenance and repair work.

How to Stretch Your Travel Dollar

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Even if you are on a budget, traveling is possible. Vacationing when your funds are limited can be a challenge, but there still many locations that you can visit. You do not have to sacrifice quality while on your vacation. Here are some tips to stretch your travel dollar:

Tip #1: Schedule your vacation during the off-season.

When is the off-season? That depends on your destination. For a ski resort, you can get a cheaper price if you travel there during the summer, while a beach house in New Jersey is usually cheaper during the winter months. Even tropical locations have off-seasons, which usually occur during rainy times of the year. When you travel during the off-season, you may have to deal with less than perfect weather, but that does not affect indoor activities like visiting museums and going to the spa, and you may end up saving hundreds of dollars.

Tip #2: Fly on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Even if you do not have flexibility with your month of travel, making it possible to travel during the off-season, try to have a little flexibility with your specific dates. Flights are always more expensive on weekends, because that is when most people want to travel. If you can switch your dates, you can save $50 to $100 on most tickets – and sometimes even more, depending on the airline.

Tip #3: Skip the car rental and purchase a bus pass.

In many cities and even on islands, there are very reliable public transportation systems, and most hotels are on bus routes. Some hotels even provide complementary buses to the most popular locations or are within walking distance to sites you may want to see. When planning your vacation, do a little research to avoid a rental car if possible. At the very least, pay a car service to take you from the airport to your hotel instead of renting a car for an entire week or two, which can cost hundreds of dollars.

Tip #4: Take advantage of age discounts.

Did you know that in many locations, kids get in free? Some airlines even provide children with free flights! There are many options available to save your family money, and you can find restaurants – especially buffets – that are extremely inexpensive and in some cases, free for children. Along with children, senior citizens can get discounts in many travel areas. Restaurants are not the only places that give seniors a price break.

Tip #5: Travel as a group.

If you are travelling with a large group, you can get group discounts on everything from hotel rooms to amusement park tickets to flights. If you organize a trip through a travel agency, you might even be able to travel for free or at a very low price. If you put in the time to plan everything, you can find a great price for your next vacation.

Tip #6: Participate in a home trading program.

Do you live in a place that is a desirable vacation spot or have a second vacation home? If you are willing to let other travelers stay in you home, they may let you stay in theirs. Trade your cabin in the mountains for a beach house or your New York City penthouse for an island property in the Caribbean. Even if you do not live in a popular location, you may be surprised at the amount of people interested in trading homes for a week.

Tip #7: Plan a “stay-cation”.

Who says you have to go somewhere to enjoy vacation time? Take some time off from work and enjoy local attractions. You do not have to travel or pay for a hotel, so you can save a lot of money. You can still enjoy near-by museums and restaurants that you would typically write off as too pricey and relaxing time at beaches or spas near your home. To make it seem special, hire a house cleaning service for the week so you will not have to worry about cleaning your home. If you are really on a budget, you can even forgo expensive activities and instead rent some movies, borrow some books from the library, or enjoy a dip in the local pool.

The point is that you do not have to spend a fortune to have a great vacation. With just a few hundred dollars, you can really enjoy some time off. The key is planning. Make sure you know exactly where every dollar is going and resist the urge to splurge on expensive meals, souvenirs, and other things you do not need. Just because you are on a budget does not mean that you and your family cannot enjoy traveling together, you just have to get a little creative so you can stretch your dollars.

4 Effortless Steps on How to Get Rid of Mold Using Natural Cleaning Products

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Just like rust, molds are one of the ever-present stains in your home that could almost blow you away. Molds could not only bring about stain on your materials as it could also facilitate severe damage. But fret not as you can always give remedy to those parts of your house or stuffs affected by molds especially with the development of organic cleaning products which are now starting to replace those harmful commercial cleaning products.

Molds penetrating through your shower walls, basement, wet window stills, damp wooden backyards and other areas in your place of living may it be indoors or outdoors are damaging not just in the sense that it can rot your stuffs but more seriously, inflict grave threats to your family’s health. And added with the use of chemical-based cleaning products or other home cleaning alternatives that you thought could help you iron out the problems, further harm will soon manifest into your family’s health as well as to your pets and environment.

Molds grow on materials where dampness or humidity is present and in a high level. You can see them form on wet papers or pieces of woods that have been taken for granted in the corner, areas where there is a leaking of water, in carpet paddings, tiles, wallpapers, paints and other damp spots in your house. It could be worst if you have been flooded. And exposure to those molds can cause health risks to your family such as asthma, allergies, headache, nasal congestion, lung diseases, eye and skin irritation and the like. That is why it is advisable that as soon as you can find any formation of molds even in just a single spot in your house, you should immediately take an action to remove them. Molds produce spores that facilitate a continual growth. And over exposure to molds can bring serious health damage.

Now, to deal with molds, you need to have the patience and determination so that you can effectively remove them not just temporarily but forever! Back up those traits with the best and safest natural cleaning products and you can be assured of its success. Also, take these things into consideration for a more thriving effort:

1. Search and analyze.

Let that detective in you come out and be put to use. Locate where the molds are and don’t stop until you have fully searched your entire house. You may then analyze the source or reason why molds built-up. Measure the affected parameters and mark them up to be sure that you don’t miss anything in your battle to remove those molds.

2. Evacuate and dry things up.

Remove all the things that may cause delay in your efforts to remove those molds. This can also keep away those things from being contaminated by molds. Clean and dry the affected area as well as the things that have been there and where dampness can be found. You must also see to it that your kids would not peek around the area as exposure to molds being treated is more dangerous. Make sure that you wear protective masks and gloves or attire to keep yourself safe from any exposure to molds.

3. Open and Ventilate.

As much as possible, provide enough ventilation in your homes. Open up windows and doors from time to time so that enough air can circulate around the house. Provide exhaust fans if you can. Making sure that you dry things up or control humidity in your home can prevent molds from growing.

4. Fix and Treat.

Fix those leaking pipes, ceilings and other sources of moisture build up as they can welcome the growth of molds. Peeling walls indicate a wet painted wall so take out those damaged walls and as soon as you can paint the new ones, be sure to put or mix mold inhibitor before doing so.

Treat molds with the best green cleaning products that you can find in the market. Those organic cleaning products are extensively available so you won’t have a hard time looking for them. These cleaning products are organic thus they are safer and even more effective compared to those conventional commercial cleaning products containing harsh chemicals.

Look for those natural cleaning products which are 100% organic and can remove the roots or kill the DNA of the molds to prevent them from coming back. Scrubbing alone or application of home cleaning alternatives can’t do the trick so you better take the aid of those organic cleaning products.

Install Laminate In Your Home

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

There is a new and beautiful alternative to natural hardwood floors and that is laminate wood flooring. Laminate wood flooring resembles natural hardwood floor but is available at a much lower cost. Recent improvements in the quality of materials have yielded laminate floors that are extremely durable as well as beautiful. Some laminate floors are virtually impossible to distinguish from hardwood floors. The top manufacturers of flooring are now manufacturing laminate flooring, so you will see fine laminate floors from Mannington, Shaw and Bruce flooring companies.

Laminate floor offer a very wide choice in colors and styles. You can have laminate floor that looks like hardwood, of course, and they are now available in styles that look like ceramic tile. The wood colors are available from very light to darkest dark, and everything in between. Since dark colors make a room look smaller, a large, formal setting would look better with dark flooring; use lighter wood colors to visually expand a small room.

Flooring stores and home improvement centers carry a wide variety of laminate flooring. You can also shop for discount brands of laminate flooring on the Internet. Think about the colors and styles you prefer, than start shopping for price. If the room you are redecorating is small, you may be able to find leftover material at a very reasonable price.

Laminates are installed differently than other floors. Instead of being attached to the sub floor, they are made of slats that interlock and “float” over the under surface, with a special adhesive that holds them in place.

A great advantage of laminate floors is that they can be installed over old flooring, whether it is wood, tile or vinyl. If you currently have carpeting, however, you will have to remove the carpet and the padding before you can install a laminate floor. Whatever surface you install over must be level before installation.

A professional can install this floor for you, but it is fairly easy to do by yourself. For one room, if it is not too large, you can probably tackle the job in one weekend. You may want to wait until you can take some time off if you intend to do a number of rooms. Having it done professionally will cost more, of course, but if you are not handy or don’t have the time to devote to a project like this, it may be worthwhile to hire someone.

Once the floor is in, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. Lightly dusting or vacuuming will remove surface dirt, and if you have a stain, clean with a damp mop. That’s about all the care laminate floors require, since you do not have to wax laminate floors.

When you do wash the floor, use only a slightly damp mop. Too much water can damage the coating, and letting water sit on it may damage the paper backing, since moisture will become trapped. Trapped moisture may cause mold in addition to damaging the laminate. Since bathrooms typically have a lot of moisture, it is not recommended that laminate floors be installed there, since the constant moisture will damage it.

good cleaning schedule?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Does anyone have a good cleaning schedule for house cleaning ? I have looked online and there really is not much, and some of the ones are really goofy like saying you can do dishes once a week but do windows every 2 weeks ? come on I do my dishes 1 or 2 times a day and windows when they get dirty but anyone got suggestions for dusting and other chores ?

I clean the public areas on Mondays: Living room, family room, dining room and hall. I clean
in the kitchen every day, and the bathrooms get attention every day as well–I do a swish–swish the toilet brush in the toilet–and swipe–hit all the surfaces with wipe–daily in the bathrooms.

I do errands on Tuesday and Thursday, as those are the days I drop the kids at school, and if not exhausted, I deep clean the bathrooms in the afternoons T and TH.

Laundry is every day, at least one load, and 2 on stay at home days.

Wednesday is project day: Like cleaining the laundry room, washing all the china in the dining room, windows, whatever. I just kind of go by what I whink needs it next, I don’t have a schedule
for that.

Fridays I do a quick dust and vac before the weekend, and I try to clean one kitchen cabinet shelf or drawer every week, and one drawer in a bedroom.

Saturdays are family Fun days, and Sundays are church and homework days. Sometimes I help one of the kids with their room on Sunday afternoon.

If we all pick up after ourselves daily, about 10 minutes, tops, it never gets too bad.

How do I find motivation and energy to get some much needed house cleaning done?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I really want to clean up my house, but I’m so not interested in it. I’ve got organizing and sorting to do. I just can’t seem to get my head wrapped around getting up and doing it all. Oh, yeah and its been like a year since I last did anything that qualified as cleaning.

Ask someone you trust to help you get organized. It sounds like you are overwhelmed. Asking for help can be embarrassing but there must be someone you can ask. The trick is to take it one task at a time but that can be hard to do too. Try to pick someone you trust that can teach you the basics of organizing without being judgemental.

Good luck!
