What to wear when you remove mold.

Avoid breathing in mold or mold spores. In order to limit your exposure to airborne mold, you may want to wear an N-95 respirator, available at many hardware stores and from companies that advertise on the Internet. (They cost about $12 to $25.) Some N-95 respirators resemble a paper dust mask with a nozzle on the front, others are made primarily of plastic or rubber and have removable cartridges that trap most of the mold spores from entering.
In order to be effective, the respirator or mask must fit properly, so carefully follow the instructions supplied with the respirator. Please note that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that respirators fit properly (fit testing) when used in an occupational setting; consult OSHA for more information (800-321-OSHA or osha.gov).
Wear gloves. Long gloves that extend to the middle of the forearm are recommended. When working with water and a mild detergent, ordinary household rubber gloves may be used. If you are using a disinfectant, a biocide such as chlorine bleach, or a strong cleaning solution, you should select gloves made from natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile, polyurethane or PVC (see Cleanup and Biocides). Avoid touching mold or moldy items with your bare hands.
Wear goggles. Goggles that do not have ventilation holes are recommended. Avoid getting mold or mold spores in your eyes. Cited on the EPA website.

Are you having trouble with mold? Here is what the EPA suggests for mold issues.

The key to mold control is moisture control. Scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely. Fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible. Dry all items completely. Absorbent or porous materials, suc

TIPS TO PREPARING YOUR HOUSE FOR CLEANING
There are a couple of things you can do to maximize your cleaning with SALTY SPARKLES.

Make sure you get your most important items listed on your To Do list.

Make sure you set your Schedule Assurance settings as broadly as you can manage. The more times you set as available for the Homekeeper can come - the more reliably they will be able to serve your home.

Do a quick pass at organizing before they arrive. Homekeepers can organize things for you. But generally speaking, you know best exactly where things go. Grab the most obvious things off the ground to give your Homekeeper more time to complete your important things. For example, say you want them to clean your house's floors. They are going to have to pick up your items first, so it will take some time away from doing that task.

Just ask! Most issues related to cleaning are communication-related. Just reach out if we can do anything to help make sure your cleaning is successful.

You can also easily leave clear directions and parking instructions for your cleaner if your home is hard to find.

Let the SALTY SPARKLES know if there is anything we can do to help! We would love for you to pick a SALTY SPARKLES Homekeeper to for your House Cleaning Service.

WHAT SIZED CLEANING SHOULD I BOOK FOR A DEEP CLEAN?
We would never recommend booking anything less than 2.5 hours for any sized home. If your home is pretty clean, we might recommend starting with the following guidelines:

A SALTYXL (4 hours with 1 homekeeper) for all homes under 2,000 sq ft

A SPARKLE (4 hours with 2 homekeepers) for everything else

If you need to book more time, you can too. Some people also prefer to book more frequent cleanings, to keep their home deeply cleaned over time.

Here are some of the things that the cleaners can do in a deep cleaning:

Vacuum/mop floors
Dust all furniture
Clean the toilet
Clean the shower
Clean the stove
Clean the oven
Clean the microwave
Clean the refrigerator
And anything else you like! It’s totally customized to you in the time booked.
If your home is generally clean, they can get a lot done! If it needs a little extra love, then they can get less done.

You can also get a SPARKLE done if you want the Homekeepers to get into meticulous detail. This is also ideal for a move out cleaning.
