Tips for maintaining clean windows

You've had you windows professionally cleaned but you can't seem to stay on top of little fingerprints and pawprints on them. This is a quick tip for keeping you windows, french doors, and patio door clean.

1. Invest in a few microfiber cloths. These can be found in a dollar store for $1 each or you can spend as much as $6 at other stores. When you rub the best ones across your hands it will seem as though you are rubbing something very ruff.
2. Wet one cloth with water and wring out as much water as possible. Have a second cloth in your pocket for drying. Take the wet cloth and wipe the prints from the window. Using the dry cloth, immediately polish the window dry. You will have no streaks and a clean window in seconds.
3. Do this once per week. It should take 1 minute or less per window, without the hassle of carrying around a bulky window cleaner.

Parents juggling self, marriage, children, home, work, and community.

Parents so often attempt to juggle so many roles and still maintain their own well being. In doing so, it is important to ensure that we are healthy, happy, and fulfilled. A sense of fulfillment may come from the smiles on our children's faces, the adoration of our significant other, success in our career, a footprint in our community, or a clean & well organized home. When all is said and done, our home is our safe haven and our family's comfort zone. It is where we create memories, watch first steps, throw parties, and relax.

1. Make a list of your roles.
2. Make another list of your weekly/daily responsibilities.
3. Make a final list of your daily schedule from wake to sleep.

What many will find is that they are juggling and juggling, day in and day out. If you are like me, you will find that somehow you are accomplishing most of all that you set out to do. However, you are constantly juggling and at times walking on a balance beam that could at any moment (if you are distracted) slip from under you.

Cleaning is a task that may consume nights after work that could be spent with your spouse. It may take away a weekend day that could be spent with your family or friends. Consider hiring a cleaning company to improve your quality of home life. Your home shouldn't be a big task that lies ahead. At some point your home needs to be a symbol of tranquility, relaxation, fun, and an escape from the outside world. For many, hiring a cleaning service is their first step towards taking better care of themselves and providing more quality time for the ones they love.
