SERVPRO of Murrieta Provides Cleaning Services

Dirty Tricks to Not Try

At SERVPRO® of Murrieta, we provide cleaning services for people who are too busy doing other things (like their jobs) to clean. We understand that some people just don’t have the time, or the inclination, to do the job. We’ve collected strategies that people considered using to get out of cleaning before they hired us.

We appreciate the creativity, but don’t recommend any of these:

• Claim that coffee splashes and drink spill are part of the wall or flooring design.
• Work on setting a record for the collective weight of dust balls.
• Rename “dust bunnies” “dust buffalo” and tell everyone you’re starting a herd.
• Throw drop cloths over everything; tell people it’s an art installation.
• Move and start over.
• Blame poltergeists for everything.

Call us at 951-894-4392. Whether it’s a one-time cleaning or a regularly scheduled one, we have a plan. Count on us to clean and disinfect:

Oh Yes, Things could be Worse

Anyone who has spilled syrup on a table or floor knows how hard it is to get the sticky goo off a surface. It can be enough to put a person off pancakes or waffles (okay, not for long). In 1919, an enormous tank of molasses burst in Boston. The tank released almost 2.5 million gallons (gallons!) of molasses, which behaved like a sticky tidal wave. The molasses traveled through the streets at 35 mph, reached up to nearly 15 feet, and knocked buildings from their foundations. Emergency responders had difficult reaching injured people because the sludge was thick and sticky. Months later, many residents claimed they could smell the molasses, and even after several years, some people said they smelled molasses in the summer.

Urine from a healthy person is sterile, but still, we wouldn’t use it as a cleanser. Back in preindustrial times, however, people did use urine to clean laundry and to wash out wounds.  Don’t worry, at SERVPRO of Murrieta, we use hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants.

Soaking the dishes is sometimes necessary, but it is also a tool for procrastination. If you need to soak dishes, use plenty of soap. Non-soapy water allows bacteria to grow. By the time you get to a sink full of dirty dishes, pouring out the dirty water will lead to bacteria-laden splashes throughout the kitchen.

Don’t Stress the Mess. Call us.
