Hiring just the right housekeeper can be life-altering for the busy family. Now this may seem to be a little over-the-top, but I am serious. Think about your life-whether single, a couple or a family-you have no time. No time to keep your home as organized or clean as you would like. No time to do the smaller tidying jobs that would make a huge difference.

Raise your hand if you grew up with a mom (or another parental figure) constantly reminding you to clean your room. Often, our earliest memories of figuring out how to tidy up and take care of our homes are with our moms—they taught us how to do laundry, how to do the dishes, and how to make our beds. So it should come as no surprise that when we asked our moms for their best homekeeping advice, they came back with some great tips.

At the risk of sounding like a cloyingly optimistic Peppy Patty (which I can assure you, I am not), I never really understood all the pervasive hate for Mondays. I get that easing yourself from the freedom of the weekend into the structure of the workweek is a bit of a shock to the system…
Our spring cleaning journey has been about turning over some lesser-cleaned leaves and refreshing your space to feel brand new for the season ahead. So in many ways, today’s assignment is symbolic of the whole shebang. We’re going to be flipping and turning, revealing a fresh new face for some of the most-used…

Project: Transport Carpets or Rugs Offsite for Cleaning
Pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable & thorough. I suggested him to my real estate office being as happy with the results as I am. – Kimberly C. in Saugerties, NY
Project: Clean Carpets or Rugs in a Home
“Tom was so kind as to deliver the rug to our house. I had brought the rug to Kingston. Tom did a touch-up of a particularly stubborn stain. All this was beyond the call of duty. Grateful for his assistance. And so glad that our rug was cleaned without chemicals because we have pets and allergies and care for the planet.” – Judith M. in Rhinebeck, NY
Project: Clean Carpets or Rugs in a Home
Great service and price. There were no chemical odors (green is the way to go). Tom has decades of experience and was very generous in sharing his knowledge. I will ask for him specifically when I get my annual carpet cleanings (must ask him about the “magic” spray he uses to remove the nasty grimy spots). – Homeowner in Rhinebeck, NY
Project: Clean Carpets or Rugs in a Home
Very good and prompt communication regarding appointment. Very knowledgable professional, very honest service and pricing. Overall extremely satisfied, and one of my best experiences with contractor jobs in and around the house. – Alex L. in Poughkeepsie, NY

Friendly people that do excellent work at reasonable prices. Would recommend to all my friends. I will defiantly use their services again. – S. Rapache Poughkeepsie, NY
