DIY Quarantine Home Projects

If coronavirus has you stuck at home and you find yourself with more time in your hands, there are always small projects that can be done to improve your home.

Working on small projects is great. They not only keep your mind busy and motivated but they also will make your house looks better. And the best part is you can always crack a bottle of wine and share with your loved ones.

Here are 3 ideas of what you can get done while in quarantine:

1- Rearrange your balcony, patio or any big window that provides daylighting to your home: this is my favorite option! Since we are stuck inside, nothing better than remodeling an outdoor space or indoors next to the biggest window at your place. Natural light improves your mood and wellbeing, right what we need in theses times! Also, it will help you save electricity.

2- Give a fresh new look to your bedroom on a budget: because of quarantine we are spending more time in our bedrooms. That’s why now it’s the perfect time to upgrade it. You don’t have to spend all your savings buying new furniture. Try rearranging your furniture layout and adding tiny but meaningful stuff as pillows, candles and plants. 

3- Cleaning around: this is the perfect time to buckle down on the task we all usually avoid doing. Wipe down blinds and windows. Deep clean your fridge and oven. Our bathroom drawers take a lot of daily use, clean them out. Go under your bed! When was the last time you did it? Move the bed and vacuum all the dust. Also, you might be surprised at the things you’ll find there.

We are facing uncertain times, and we all react in different ways. It’s ok to listen to ourselves, do the best we can, and always remember to stay positive!

Dear Customer, Let's Team Up For a Healthy Community! #coronavirus #COVID-19

Do you want to know what are we doing to protect our customers, cleaning ladies and community? Here is the answer:

As we monitor and learn more about the spread of Coronavirus in our communities, we want to be transparent about what we’re doing as a company to protect our customers and cleaning ladies.

The CDC recommends that we all take everyday preventive actions to protect yourself and others, such as:

• Staying home.

• Social distancing.

• Washing our hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.

• Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people.

The CDC also recommends to clean and disinfect your home and offices:

• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

• If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.

What to expect from the cleaning ladies?:

• Our cleaning teams will be washing / disinfecting their hands for 20 seconds before and after each cleaning service.

• They’ll use “Lysol” or “Method” (EPA-registered household disinfectants expected to be effective against COVID-19) to disinfect all surfaces, doorknobs, light switches, handles and all other areas.

• Although this is already a normal practice for us, all cleaning ladies are required to report any flu-like symptoms right away to the office so that they can be removed from cleaning appointments immediately. Also, all the cleaning teams are taking their temperature every morning.

• All our cleaning ladies will be using face-masks and gloves and they will keep 6 feet distance from others.

What do we expect from our customers?

• Also following the recommendations of CDC, please contact us immediately if you or a family member is sick or experiencing flu-like symptoms and we will happily reschedule your cleaning service. This is very important for the health of our cleaning professionals, their families and our other customers.

• To protect our cleaning teams, customers should wear a face-mask and keep 6 feet distance from them. We encourage customers to be in different rooms at the time of the cleaning visits.

The safety and health of our customers and cleaning ladies is of the utmost importance. We will be monitoring the Coronavirus situation and making sure to inform and implement all new preventive actions.
