I Love Going in Strangers Homes

Have you ever been excited to walk right up to a complete strangers door? 

I know it sounds odd and believe me it is but I get to do just that every day. I drive from one house to another meeting strangers and learning about how they live, where they have been, how their family is doing, and all sorts of other things.

Many door-to-door sells representatives used to do the same thing. Though that is mostly in the past, working in strangers homes just like yours still happens very often.front door open welcome mat

I work in a service industry. Since everyone needs help at their house from time to time. You can probably think of a few jobs that this would include like plumbers, electricians, interior decorators, cleaners, and so on.

Everyday I wake up and after I think about how wonderful my spouse is, I think about who I’m going to get to meet today. Let me share with you why.

What got me talking to strangers?

I started cleaning carpet in Spring of 2012. As the business picked up and I was actually doing work in people’s homes I realized that meeting strangers was kind of cool.

People call me or go online and get an appointment scheduled. I don’t know them and they don’t know me other than what’s on my bio page (or home page). I still show up knocking on the door and it begins. I introduce myself, they introduce themselves and the both of us usually go back and fourth asking and answering questions. Though most of the conversation is about what work I’m going to be doing, many times we get off subject.

I have actually made friends with a few of my clients. Now they aren’t strangers so I go visit them now and again.

What I Learned from Visiting Strangers

Being in so many client’s homes has forced me to grow beyond what I was comfortable with. It has made me more personable, a better communicator, and taught me a lot about what I thought I knew about people.

For a while I was uneasy in other people’s homes but as I got more experienced I became more confident and knowledgeable. Now I’m to the point that my comfort, joy, and confidence influences most. That means I’m making people comfortable and making every experience a positive one for both parties. Click here to learn more about Daniel.

I have met people from all over the world and different walks of life. Much like my experiences in the military, it has reinforced what most of us are told at a young age, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” I’ve met people that live quite extraordinary lives, though I never would have known had we not discussed it.

If you get the chance to run into a person who is willing to open up and talk with you, give it a go. It will usually take away tension, give you a chance to build new relationships, and give you something to do while you’re out playing Pokemon Go.

 

How to Prepare for Carpet Cleaning with Spotless Flooring

How to Prepare for Carpet Cleaning Serivce with Spotless Flooring

While having scheduled a service for carpet cleaning, you may be asking yourself what you should do to get ready. No worries, we are going to cover exactly that. I will talk about what to pick up, what to move, parking arrangements, and vacuuming. And don’t worry if you forget something, your friendly cleaner will get through the cleaning with amazing results.

After you schedule an appointment with Spotless Flooring, you now have a set time to be home for the service. You should receive an email with some information to help you prepare for the cleaning. You will find similar information listed here.

About an hour prior to your cleaning you should…

Pick up all Personal Belonging

Personal belongings include toys, clothes, trash, and anything else that you don’t want vacuumed up.

Picking up your personal belongings ensures that our crew does not accidentally misplace any of your belongings when preparing for your carpet cleaning or tile cleaning service. If anything is found on the floor, behind a door, or in the way, we will more than likely just set it on the closest surface off of the floor. This is to help you easily find items that were left in the immediate area.

Moving Furniture and Similar Items

We normally move: Our cleaning team will move small furniture such as side tables, lamps, coat racks, mops, and other light weight items. We do this free of charge as a part of regular service.

We charge for: If you would like any furniture such as love seats, recliners, sofas, dressers, or chests moved, please request the service. We charge differently each time for moving furniture because the amount of work will vary considerably depending on the space of your home and your requested furniture to move.

To avoid charges: In order to have furniture moved and completely cleaned under, please move the furniture completely out of the areas being cleaned.

Parking Arrangements

We request that you leave the easiest access point to the property with one free parking spot nearest the entry.

The closer we can park to the area being cleaned, the faster we can get your floors and furniture cleaned and dried.

Having all of our equipment as close as possible to the work area allows us to make shorter trips when bringing in equipment to the home. That means that we can complete the job faster. But also, main equipment remains mounted in the van (these machines are known as truck mounts). The less vacuum hose we have to use (closer to the van) the quicker we can get your surfaces dry. The further away from the van we get, the less efficient our equipment is.

Vacuuming Prior to Having Professional Cleaning

Don’t worry about it. We will take care of that. We are professionals that deliver results. Take it easy, kick back, and let us handle it. We will vacuum the open areas and then the trim around the baseboards as well.

Our team’s first step of actual cleaning starts with dry vacuuming. Many companies do not do this or ask that the homeowner do it. Spotless Flooring understands that many home owners don’t have the time or often forget to do this. We also know that it is a very important step to a thorough cleaning. So, before each cleaning, we get on the floor with a commercial or household vacuum to remove as much dry soil as possible.

The Call

Spotless Flooring will always give you a call when we are heading to your house for cleaning. This way you are aware of our arrival and in case anything has happened you can let us know.

The main parts you should focus on are picking up your belongings and moving your own furniture if you would like to. Parking arrangements are helpful but as mentioned above, our first step is dry vacuuming and during that time you will be able to move vehicles around as needed. The rest is our job and we do great at it so you have nothing to worry about.

You will have a great experience.
