What is the one thing that [almost] everyone hates doing? But even when we don’t have time or energy to do a deep scrubbing of our homes like we would like, there are some tricks for getting small areas clean quickly. As one of the best cleaning company in Pinellas county, we bring you this blog post which will share 4 DIY Cleaning tips guaranteed to make your life easier!
1. Clean your kitchen sink with baking soda and vinegar to get rid of hard water stains
After a long day of work, it’s tempting to just skip cleaning the kitchen sink. However, this is one chore that you don’t want to put off for later. In fact, if your sink has hard water stains then you should give this recipe a try right away! It will help get rid of those pesky stains and leave your kitchen looking its best. What ingredients do we need?
You’ll need baking soda and vinegar along with some lemon juice or white wine vinegar. Mix equal parts of all three in an old spray bottle and shake well before applying to the surface being treated. Spray on liberally and wait 10 minutes before wiping clean with a paper towel or rag (you may also use dish soap).
2. Mix dish soap, essential oils, and lemon juice in a spray bottle to make a natural antibacterial cleaner
Ever wonder how to make a natural cleaner? Well, you’re in luck. DIY Cleaning tips are really handy! With just three ingredients, you can whip up your own homemade dish soap that will cost less than store-bought and is safe for the environment! The following recipe only requires 1/4 cup of Dawn dish soap, 10 drops of lemon essential oil and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix these together then shake well to combine. Store in an old shampoo or hand soap bottle with a pump top for easy use around the house!
3. Use Borax or powdered laundry detergent as an all-purpose cleaner for the bathroom, kitchen counters, stovetop – you name it!
Our cleaners have been using Borax or powdered laundry detergent as an all-purpose cleaner for the past 2 years. We started with a small amount and gradually increased how much we wanted to use over time, until now it’s almost an equal mixture of these two ingredients. The reason for this is because Borax is cheaper than most store-bought cleaners, and also because if you mix both together in a bucket they’re more effective than using just one on its own.
4.Make a homemade carpet deodorizer by mixing together 1/2 cup of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a bowl – sprinkle on carpets before vacuuming!
When you can’t shake that lingering aroma of your weekend in the woods, make a homemade carpet deodorizer by mixing together 1/2 cup baking soda and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Sprinkle on carpets before vacuuming to remove any odors from old acorns or pinecones underfoot!

Reschedule Policy
If you are here to reschedule a cleaning that is NOT currently scheduled within the next 72 hours you’re good to go, no fee .Simply let us know your preferences for rebooking. For all reschedule requests, we ask that you allow a 7-day window to lock in a new slot on the schedule (although if we have an earlier opening we’ll let you know)! If you are rescheduling an appointment that’s appraoching within the next 48 hours, you will be charged for 25% of the quoted cost of your service. If you are rescheduling an appointment that’s appraoching within the next 24 hours, you will be charged for 50% of the quoted cost of your service. Same-day requests to reschedule will be charged 100% of the cost of the booked service. We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation, as a small business last-minute gaps in our schedule are very costly. All invoices to be billed in accordance with our reschedule/cancellation policy will be automatically charged to the card on file. We thank you for choosing Joy of Cleaning!
Cancellation Policy
If you cancel your appointment within 48 hours of your appointment date, you will be responsible for 25% of the quoted cost of your service. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, you will be responsible for 50% of the service. Same-day cancellations will be charged 100% of the cost of the booked service. Cancellation within a day puts us in jeopardy of having a gap in our schedule that could have been filled by someone else, and we often have a waiting list. We thank you greatly in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Cancellation fees will be charged automatically to the card on file. Cancellation timing will be determined in accordance with our business hours (week days 8am – 5pm). A text message after 5pm the day before service for example would be considered same-day cancellation – please plan accordingly. If you still would like to cancel please fill out below:
Skip Service Policy
If you are a routine customer and want to skip for any reason, your next cleaning will reflect the appropriate frequency quoted. For example, if you are bi-weekly but skip cleaning the next time we clean, your monthly rate will apply. This is fair due to the extra dust and dirt build-up in the house. Also being a bi-weekly customer means we have reserved your spot in our schedule to be cleaned by the same team at a consistent time. If customers skip it will affect that team’s entire day’s schedule. Lastly, it is not fair to the monthly customer who pays a higher rate for monthly cleanings, and a bi-weekly customer who is actually only cleaned once that month, but remains at the cheaper rate.
