Glossary

So you know exactly what we mean, we would like to take a moment to identify some areas for definition:

Wichita Ks Cleaning Service Maids Our Process
  • Condition

    As with leather or woodwork, we thoroughly clean the surface, then apply a specially designed product intended to restore shine and help the surface last longer. It is especially beneficial to condition woodwork twice a year: after the winter, when in-door heat causes wood to dry out, and at the beginning of spring/summer to protect the wood from extra dust entering the home, sunlight and animals. Leather should be conditioned on an as-needed basis.

  • Disinfect

    The industry standard is for a product to set on a surface for 15 minutes to thoroughly saturate in order to remove bacteria and germs.

  • Dust

    There are two types of dusting: dry dusting and hand dusting. “Dry dusting” involves a high-quality feather duster, and allows the maid to efficiently remove dust from areas without spending unnecessary labor. “Hand dusting” with a treated microfiber cloth involves the maid picking up an item, hand-detailing for dust, then carefully replacing the item to its rightful position.

  • Green Cleaner

    An effective cleaning product made up of environmentally-friendly ingredients

  • Hand-detail

    The maid uses a treated microfiber cloth to focus on cleaning details of an item, such as each slat of a set of blinds, every part of the baseboards, each and every decorative item on shelves, etc.

  • Hand-mop

    The maid is on their hands and knees, using a specially treated soft cloth, to pick up every bit of debris or to carefully wipe scuff-marks (especially recommended in the kitchen and bathrooms)

  • Polish

    Depending on the material (wood, chrome, glass, etc.), we use appropriate cleaners to remove build-up and dirt to bring out the materials’ natural luster.

  • Sanitize

    The spraying on of a specifically designated cleaner to remove surface germs and bacteria, then immediately wiping dry
