My favorite cleaning product

Posted on August 21, 2013 by Kristin Posted in General Announcement .

Do you ever get something new and try it on everything? Maybe it’s a new tool or maybe, if you’re like me, it’s a new cleaning product. Being the skeptic I am, maybe I want to see if it can really do everything!

As most of you know, I buy all of my all-natural cleaning supplies from a wonderful wellness company that use scientifically-proven natural ingredients to keep your home safe and clean. I recently decided to get the Value Pack, a gift basket of sorts with various top selling products.

One of those products was a heavy duty cleaner called Melamagic and a degreaser called Sol-U-Mel. Both products are made using tea tree oil, a natural disinfectant, deodorizer, and essential oil.

I googled a few recipes to get me started and I was on a roll. I decided to try a capful, yes a small capful, in a load of laundry. My towels came out smelling so fresh! I mixed up an all-purpose mixture of the two, again using a couple of capfuls each and filling the rest of the spray bottle with water.

I sprayed everything in the bathroom and wrapped the showerhead in a mixture I poured in a plastic sandwich bag and tied to the showerhead with a hairbow. I sprayed my countertops in the kitchen, then I got to my stovetop. A degreaser. Let’s try it.

So, I went a little crazy. I started with the top, then I opened it (my mistake there!), then I took the coils off and soaked the drip pans in a mixture I made, again with just a couple capfuls of each.

And it worked! With very little elbow grease, I might add. I couldn’t believe it. The stove is older than I am, so there are a few spots where you can tell I need to go back, but for the most part I sprayed, let it sit, and wiped it up with no problem. It even worked on the control panel, leaving this beautiful shine!

Want to play with all-natural products? Sign up with this fabulous company that produces over 300 products including a men’s line, kid’s line, gluten-free foods, laundry and more! Think of it as an all-natural Sam’s Club or Costco. Join me and millions of others who have made the switch!

The easiest way to DETOX your home

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Kristin Posted in General Announcement .

I’m so excited that my hands are literally shaking as I type this! As many of you know, I love posting all-natural tips and recipes you can use around your home for safe and effective cleanings. Well, have I got a treat for you!

The wellness company that I purchase my all-natural cleaning products from is running a promotion that I think all my green Moms are going to love!

First, let me give you some background information. This wellness company has been around for 28 years! They’ve received hundreds of awards and have patents and scientists testing new products every day.

We are talking over 300 products all made naturally, with no chlorine bleach, no ammonia and no formaldehyde. How is this possible?

Have you ever heard of tea tree oil? (If you are a regular customer of mine, this should sound familiar.) Tea tree oil is an essential oil taken from the leaves grown on the melaleuca tree in Australia. This oil kills bacteria and fungus, and helps reduce skin reactions. Tea tree oil has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties.

What does that mean for you?

Because of its antiseptic properties, tea tree oil can help treat skin blemishes. In fact, face and body washing products containing 5 percent of tea tree oil is more effective than products that contain 5 percent benzoyl peroxide.

Did you know tea tree oil is proven to treat athlete’s foot, mites, scabies and head lice? In a 2008 study, tea tree oil was more effective against head lice than permethrin, a popular pharmaceutical remedy. In fact, shampoo with 5 percent tea tree oil is effective treatment for dandruff due to its ability to treat Malassezia furfur, the most common cause of dandruff.

There are safe, effective, all-natural ways to keep you family safe. Think of this wellness company as an all-natural version of Sam’s Club or Costco.

We’ve got a cleaning “aisle” and every product is made from safe, natural ingredients. How many times have you had itchy, watery eyes, or began coughing because of the fumes in most cleaners? Not with these products!

Oh and did I mention that everything comes in concentrated bottles. That’s right! One bottle of concentrate gives you SIX bottles of product! We’re talking $5.60 for one bottle of concentrated bathroom cleaner. That’s six bottles of product for $5.60. How much would you pay for six bottles of Tilex? A lot more than $5.60!

Another “aisle” in this store is bath and body. Tea tree oil, when used in beauty supplies, gives you soothing, penetrated and antiseptic properties. In fact, the number 1 selling product in this company is hand cream that is 7 times more effective than Eucerin! The toothpaste contains xylitol, a natural sweetener that is proven to help people suffering with gum disease. The mouthwash contains no alcohol, so there is no burning sensation. The company has a men’s product line with body wash, shaving cream, bar soaps, etc. and they have a kids line, too!

They even have an organic food “aisle” that contains cereal, popcorn, granola bars, vitamins, meal replacement shakes and more! Did I mention that all these products are gluten-free?!!!

Want to check out this company for yourself? Join the next 30-minute webinar to learn more. There are four webinars held every day this month! Visit the calendar and pick the day and time that best suits you.

So, how much? All these “aisles” of over 300 products that are all-natural and safe can be yours for $1! That’s your membership fee. $1! You will have access to every product. You will receive $100 in free product. You will have peace of mind knowing everything you buy is guaranteed with a full money back refund from the company.

But, you’ve got to hurry! They are only offering the $1 membership fee until August 20. So, click here to see the webinar schedule and if you would like to make a conscience decision to start using these products, let me know and I can sign you up!

Behind the Scenes: The True Story of Miraclean

Posted on March 31, 2013 by fdsfg23441drghs433retgsd Posted in General Announcement .

If you haven’t noticed through my Facebook, LinkedIn, and blog posts, I love helping people. I love being able to share little cleaning tid-bits with you all and hearing your feedback.

That’s how Miraclean got started.

I needed a job that was flexible with my schedule while I attended college. My mom had cleaned offices when I was a kid to get some extra cash, so my dad suggested I do the same. I could make my own schedule, pick my own clients, and make some money.

“Sure, why not?” I thought.

So I got few office jobs and went to work. I must have been doing something right because my office managers loved me! They wanted me to clean their house. At the time, I turned down the work because I thought homes were too much of a liability. It was too much to worry about breaking something.

One particular office manager wore me down, so I decided to only clean her house. Honestly, I told her I would dust her house like I dusted the office. Same thing, right? I didn’t even clean her master shower because there is no master shower in the office.

I had NO idea what I was doing. Needless to say she kept me (and I started cleaning the master shower…duh, Kristin.) She started to tell her neighbors and the word spread around town.

Once I took the leap and started cleaning houses, my business took off. I started researching different products, learning the industry, ‘experimenting’ methods, and seeing what worked best.

But, all my office work wasn’t a waste because little did I know, I had built a relationship with the office managers. When they found out I also cleaned houses, they wanted aboard. It’s amazing how fast word spread.

By this time, I was getting ready to graduate from Winthrop University.

Due to a conflict in my scheduling, I had to take 25 credit hours in one semester to graduate on time. Most seniors take as few hours as possible and their first class was NOT at 8 a.m. Monday thru Thursday.

Not this senior.

Oh, and did I mention I was also planning my wedding? Yep. So, everything was happening at once. (Side note: I learned that if I could survive this semester, I could do anything!)

Miraclean was growing and my life was headed in one million different directions. I had to turn down a lot of people and I hated it. I thought Miraclean was too small to have employees. I was also worried about the liability, pay, tax deductions, and could I really afford to make that step?

Instead of worrying, I had to ignore it. I had bought a house the prior year and the mortgage wasn’t going to pay itself. I decided to keep the customers I could fit into my schedule because they paid my bills and focus on graduating.

I survived! And graduated on time. I majored in mass communication with a concentration in journalism. I minored in business.

I dabbled in newspapers, working as a freelance reporter, but Miraclean always won. As we grew, I knew I needed help!

My dad joined part-time and helped expand Miraclean. Thanks to his work, we also offer carpet, upholstery, tile and grout and pressure washing services, using all-natural products. We’ve become a one-stop cleaning shop.

I’ve hired a few amazing folks and we’ve got plenty of teams to help you clean, deodorize, sanitize and disinfect your ENTIRE home, top to bottom!

This is the true story of how Miraclean came to be what it is today. We use all-natural products that are safe to use around children and pets. We have the fastest dry-time method around! Your carpets will be 100% dry in less than one hour.
