On the 1^st of April 2010 the co-owner of A Helping Hand celebrated her birthday with a piñata thanks to our wonderful staff. Happy Birthday Kathy! This day also commemorates the 4^th Anniversary of our business.

The SBA, Small Business Administration, states that 44% of all small business never make it to the 4^th year of business and in the following 5^th year 50% of those businesses will fail. So, in the first 5 years of business 95% of all small businesses will never see their 6^th year of business.

That being said, I want to truly say THANK YOU to all of our clients and staff. It is because of you that we have success today. Thank you for supporting a local small business and investing your money in the local economy.

We look forward to more success in the near future and beyond.

Sincerely,

Scott Kindberg

One of clients recently told me having her home cleaned professionally by the Madison House Cleaning staff is like getting a “House Massage”.  Hello, my name is Scott Kindberg and I am husband, father of two pre-schoolers, and a small business-owner. I can’t think of any better way to say ‘I am think of you’ to my wife and my family than with a clean house.

Live Clean. Live Better. Tip #2

Tip #2. Remove 99% of the Bacteria In Your Home When Cleaning With Microfiber.

Microfiber Versus Cotton

What is microfiber and why does it out perform cotton?

Polyester and polyamide are very fine threads which create the high quality microfiber towels we use today. Described to be hundred times thinner than a single strand of human hair and ten times finer than silk; microfibers are extremely fine compared to that of a cotton strand. Polyester is a lyophillic polymer or has affinity to oil that allows oil to cling directly to the fibers fast. On the other hand, water also easily adheres to microfiber since it is hydrophilic. Microfiber works well in storing dirt and dust at the same time, absorbs water tremendously even up to seven times or 600% its weight in liquids, dirt and other elements. Dirt particles cling, and are attracted to the finely wedged shaped fibers of microfiber, where as a cotton towel only pushes dirt and dust from one place or another. Such great characteristics allow microfiber towels to quickly remove dirt and leave surfaces completely clean.

Microfiber out performs cotton because of its admirable polyester and polyamide fibers that are strong and ensure durability. It’s resistance to stretching and shrinking that guarantees shape retention. Other than that, it is also wrinkle, mildew, abrasion resistant due to its highly elasticity. Moreover, it is resistant to most chemicals, retains heat-set pleats and crease, and is easily washed even only with clear water or mild soapy water. In comparison to cotton, a microfiber will absorb 98% moisture, while cotton can only absorb at best 70%.

The use of a microfiber towel does not only ensure cleaning and absorbing efficiently, but is also environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic (safe for human and pet skin). For one, it breaks down and absorbs mud surfaces, two, it is reusable many times before washing, three, it is convenient and easy to clean with. Technically, microfiber can help reduce up to 90% of the consumption of cleaning materials in your home, most especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. Microfiber reduces your exposure to toxic fumes generated by too much chemical use as cleaning with microfiber requires no chemicals. Microfibers can eliminate your use of dangerous cleaning chemicals thus lowering if not ridding of allergies and chemical sensitivities. In all areas of your home, microfiber removes 99% of the bacteria from surfaces, edges and corners which will result into a cleaner and yes, healthier environment. Cotton towels require more effort when removing stubborn dirt and dust, they smears mud onto surface pores, they stay wet and breeds mold and mildew, they are bulky and hard to handle and finally require immediate cleaning after using.

Microfiber consists of very fine polyester and polyamide fibers that execute to be excellent dust and dirt eliminators, quick and effective absorbers, easy drying, environmentally friendly and ensure minimal usage of chemicals creating the ultimate, cost effective cleaning cloth. With microfiber you get rid with the typical bulky cotton towel which only pushes away dirt instead of ideally cleaning the surfaces. Say goodbye to stubborn household dirt, germs, dust and bacteria and try microfiber towels and mops today.
