Merry Maids of Scarborough

Today marks the start of #NationalNursingWeek. This year’s theme is #WeAnswerTheCall, dedicated to showcasing the many roles nurses play in a patient’s health-care journey. The pandemic over the last year has really highlighted the immense courage, selflessness, and dedication nurses show every day, often putting their patient’s needs above their own. Anyone who has spent a significant time in the hospital or has required home care understands the hard work and compassion that nurses put into their job to help other people heal. Thank you nurses, for all you do to keep us happy, healthy and safe.

A cup of tea can be calming, but it’s important to keep that kettle clean. Here's a helpful tip to descale your kettle without using harsh chemical products. Hint: it’s easier than you might think! Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips, Lauren Jones explained that boiling a kettle filled with some lemon juice and water can help revive shine and remove limescale! High in citric acid and antibacterial properties, lemons not only smell fresh but are great for cleaning household items as they are unlikely to cause damage to surfaces and appliances. When life gives you lemons, use them to tackle that pesky limescale!

We wanted to take a moment to recognize all the home-grown heroes who make our lives better every day. Happy Mother’s Day! From all the sons, daughters, and husbands at Merry Maids, this day’s for you.

It’s almost that time of year! Where we spring into action and make that seasonal push to clean our homes. Here’s a helpful hint that will keep dirt at the door and out of your home this spring. Try two door mats! (One outside and one in). This does double duty when trapping unwanted dirt and allergens from entering your living space. When it’s time for a refresh, simply hose off and air-dry your out door mat, and vacuum your indoor on both sides. Happy spring cleaning!

Has this ever happened to you? Your favourite shirt, skirt, or pair of pants went missing on the journey from the washer to the drier? Now time is of the essence, and you need your garment dried fast. Here’s a helpful hint to dry in record time. Try tossing in a couple of dry towels with your garment, they’ll help absorb moisture and speed up the drying process. Size permitting, you could even toss your garment in your handy kitchen spinner. It’s a quick way to wick moisture away from fabric.

If left unchecked, cosmetics can quickly turn your bathroom into clutter-city. Plus, when looking to thin your makeup cabinet it’s not always clear which products are expired and which aren’t, since many simply state how many months the product will last after opening. To keep track of your cosmetics and keep your cabinet less cluttered try using a thin-tipped permanent marker to note the date you’ve opened it, suggests organizing guru Jeffrey Phillip. It’s a simple way to know what’s good and what needs to go the next time you cull your cluttered bathroom cabinet.

Did you know that many nurse shifts are 10-12 hours long? They give up their early mornings, weekends, late nights and more to ensure someone is always ready and willing to provide you and your loved ones with the best care possible. We can’t thank our Canadian nurses enough for their strength, sacrifice and support. Merry Maids wants to thank all the brave men and women out there for their kindness and dedication in caring for us when we need it most, especially during these uncertain and scary times. #NationalNursingWeek

Not everyone loves cleaning as much as we do - but it's easy to see why! Leaving the whole list of chores to the weekend can feel overwhelming and take up precious hours that could be better spent with friends and family. Instead of letting chores pile up, try doing a little every day. Tackling a load of laundry or cleaning one bathroom can help divide the labour across the week, leaving you with more time on the weekends.

As winter approaches, there's no better time to ensure you're prepared for the Canadian winter. The Home Depot recommends checking the following before the snow falls: - Make sure your windows are properly insulated.... - Stock up for emergencies with canned food, batteries, and other essentials. - Have natural heating options if possible. Generators can run most electrical heating options. Be prepared for winter, because before you know it, the snow and ice will have arrived.

What does disinfecting do that cleaning and sanitizing cannot? Disinfecting actively kills germs and viruses on hard surfaces or objects. Only hard (nonporous) surfaces can be disinfected. Disinfectants used on soft (porous) surfaces, such as stone or granite countertops, carpets and rugs, and soft fabric furniture will only sanitize the surface, as the disinfectant cannot reach all layers of the object to completely disinfect it. Disinfectants come in three grades, Limited, General and Hospital, with Merry Maids using hospital-grade disinfectants for maximum effectiveness. Rest assured, Health Canada stringently test all disinfecting products used by Merry Maids for quality purposes.

Washing your hands is important for both your own personal health and for those around you. In the midst of a pandemic, keeping your hands clean is extremely important.
