WE WANT TO LEAVE THINGS BETTER THAN WE FOUND THEM

Dull Floors?

2/9/2011

Just tried a new product that I'm sold on.   Do your floors still look dull even after a thorough cleaning?   I have laminate and tile floors in my basement and found this product brought back the life and shine to the floors.   Note, this product is not a cleaner that you are to work into your floors. 
The first step is to vacuum/sweep your floor thoroughly.  
The 2nd step is to clean it with vinegar water or your regular choice of cleaner.  Make sure you rinse the floor if you are using a lot of product on it.  
Next you use this product that I am recommending. Rejuvenate Floor Refresher.
I used a Shmop, or a long handled flat head mop that holds a Microfiber Cloth that has elastic around it to apply the Floor Refresher.  You just spray the area, go over it once with the mop and then let it dry for a good half hour.   It's a really nice shine that lasts and is safe.  I give this product 2 thumbs up!

 I found it at Home Depot, the spray version was $8.96 and the concentrated bottle was $19.88.   It should last you a long time!  The link below has pricing on it but your local Home Depot Store carries it to save you on the shipping.   I did note on the bottle it says this product is "Great for Newer FLoors"  I think that this is to be used with caution with old wood floors.

Organizing for 2011

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Is your 2011 off to a great start?  Organization is one of the most common New Year's Resolutions.  It's something we all strive to get better at.   In the office or at home it can be overwhelming.  Here are some guidelines to get 2011 started on the right track!

1. take inventory -- making piles and labeling as you stack, labeling with a sticky note will make for a faster system when it's time to sort those piles and determine what goes where.  You can skip the "what" if it's already labeled.
2. purge - an on going necessity.  Sometimes it's not purging but filing.  
3. cleanse - everything is easier to find when it's clean. 
4. optimize space - dare to rearrange.  Sometimes change is refreshing and more efficient.  Remember, it can always be changed again!
5. create a place for everything
6. label - seems unnecessary at times but a quick glance can make your time more efficient.
7. computer clean up - deal with emails as they come in...delete and archive, leaving only those that need an answer in the In box.
8. untangle the cords - Office supply stores sell reletively cheap "cord hiders".   No more tangles! And a nice clean look for your desk area.
9. stock up on office supplies - The New Year is a great time to make a list of all supplies used in the office and have a working list to go off of when it's time to re-order.  A simple excel spread sheet will do the trick.  Anything from pens to styro cups that are for the coffee station should go on here.   Utilize your Cleaning Service to maintain this for you.
10. maintain - efficiency will result from maintaining and also delegating in areas that you can.  

Here are some web sites for more information and details on utilizing these guidelines:
