Heavenly Touch Maids can give you a bright, clean home and help you enjoy your summer
By Mimi Vanderhaven
When T.S. Eliot wrote, “April is the cruelest month,” he wasn’t thinking about our homes, but he could have been. Sure, April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring mud, grime, salt and mold right into our homes, not to mention the pet hair, cobwebs, and illness-spreading germs left over from winter.
And if you look closely…wait, what is that?
Leftover Christmas tree needles.
“Everyone’s floors are gross right now,” reveals Erin Schultz, the office manager for the Cuyahoga Falls-based Heavenly Touch Maids. “It’s been a damp spring, plus we had a lot of freezing and thawing this winter. Everything is muddy so we’re paying particular attention to floors right now.”
Time for Spring Cleaning
Every spring we yawn, stretch and come out of caves like a family of bears only to notice the sunshine lighting up the grime in our homes. To be honest, Mimi is done with house cleaning. Her knees simply won’t support kneeling down to clean behind a toilet, not when there are professionals who can do it better and more safely. Plus, who wants to dedicate even one precious weekend of summer to vacuuming, dusting, mopping and cleaning bathrooms.
Instead, call Erin at Heavenly Touch. It’s an 11-year-old company employing over 30 professionally-trained maids who have cleaned thousands of Greater Akron homes. While many clients opt for a weekly cleaning, the firm also offers an affordable yet deep cleaning known as “The Mini-Spring Cleaning.”
“With our Mini-Spring Cleaning, we clean virtually everything in your home—from kitchen cabinets and appliances to furniture, wall art and shelving, to toilets, showers and baseboards. We can even do interior window cleaning.”
Two-person Teams
Heavenly Touch Maids arrive in teams of two, including a team leader who oversees the job. The pair works together to do a professional job without being in your home all day. In addition, working in teams means the maids can safely move furniture and clean the floors underneath.
“Every member of our team goes through a comprehensive training program, including how to properly dust and vacuum,” says owner Rick Winrod. “Plus, we have weekly refresher training so we stay on top of the industry.”
Unlike other companies that pay maids a percentage of the job, Heavenly Touch offers a competitive hourly wage so there is no incentive to rush. “Our teams are professional, diligent and flexible,” adds Erin. “We can handle your weekly cleaning, plus pay special attention to areas that you request.”
Post-illness cleanings are also a good idea. Some bacteria—like those that cause strep throat and ear infections—can live outside of the body for long periods of time.
Doing the Job Right
According to Erin, most Heavenly Touch clients are people who value family time. They don’t want to spend their weekends cleaning. “It can be frustrating when your house is never really clean and you always seem to be playing catch-up,” Erin says.
The Heavenly Touch Maids staff has long-term tenure and gets rave reviews. “Our clients are extremely happy with us,” Erin says. “As a result, we get a lot of customer referrals and word-of-mouth is our biggest source of new clients.”
Once you request services from Heavenly Touch, you’ll receive an email featuring certification of the company’s insurance policies plus a complete list of services performed on a first-time cleaning.
The cruelty of April will soon be over, so you might want to schedule your spring cleaning now. Better yet, sign up for weekly cleaning—and enjoy your summer.
