I’m probably having way too much fun with experimenting 😂 but the results speak for themselves!

This week I’ve had the chance to slow down and quietly try different ideas…..not all have worked but some definitely have and I’m wrapped!

Glass cleaner is one product we will no longer use because now we have a way more effective and cost efficient solution 😉

Privileged is a term I would use to describe the feeling I had doing this clean today.
Thank you for asking us into your home to help you ❤️

Hot water = softens the grime.
Dishwashing liquid = cuts through the grease.
Cream cleanser (jif) = has a grit that acts as a scrubbing tool.
A denture brush = gives a hard bristle scrub on small areas.
A scrub daddy = gives a good old scrub to larger flat areas.

The most effective products in our kit!

There are so so SO many expensive products out there claiming to be magical but the truth is……the magic comes in the elbow grease.

Each of these jobs took less than 30 seconds to achieve.

The key to any product is to let it have a few minutes to soak in.
The key to finding the best solution……listen to your older generation…..the methods are still around because they work!

We are forever taking photos! Especially if they are a good before and after opportunity 😍 so excuse the little photo dump!

We are BIG on privacy at Mess Minders and have contracts preventing anything we see or hear (or photograph) inside a home from being shared with the outside world without your permission!

Just another reason we prefer to stay a small team!

We are on the hunt for the next Mess Minder!

The position is for a minimum of 20 hours working inside residential homes within the wider Manawatu.

We are a little different from the rest because we want to stay small, we want to put quality over quantity and we want to find out what makes the most difference in each household…..because every house is different!

This position isn’t just cleaning, it’s going above and beyond by using initiative to see if the overwhelmed busy parent or hard working household has a mountain of washing they can’t get too, sheets that could do with a change, washing that needs to be done, a fridge that needs cleaning out….toys and furniture yeeted out the way to give the floor a good vacuum…we are uniquely boutique!

Must haves;
- Full licence
- Clean criminal record
- Own transport
- EXPERIENCE
- Be reliable
- Be honest
- Be a team player
- Be willing to learn
- Throw all judgemental behaviour out the window!

What we offer?
- Physical activity every day
- A laugh….so very many laughs
- Free hugs with all the pets!
- Skills in detail and specific cleaning jobs
- My jokes

We don’t work weekends…….well…..I mean we don’t usually……well ok I do on occasion 😅
Today being one occasion where a bathroom post tenancy needed to be fixed up before re-letting, and today was my only spare space. I had fun doing this one! The results were very satisfying 😍

It’s the small things that make the brightest difference ✨

When we discuss “bringing it up to maintenance level” this is what we mean.

Pulling apart the drains, pulling out the furniture, getting into all the gaps and crevices to pull out all the build up so that the following clean is less time consuming.

Two new cleans started with us this week, and straight away we have jumped in and found all the built up treats!
