Best House Cleaning Services Near Me Maid with Aloha Spirit!
It’s really a lot of fun to have creepy crawlies decorating your beautiful Orange County House, but you may need house cleaning if they become abundant. The most threatening OC spider is the notorious Black Widow. The black widow has enough venom to actually kill a small child or animal.
There hasn’t been a killing in over 13+ years but they are still dangerous creatures and are best left alone. They tend to hide in dark places where they feel safe and don’t usually bother anyone. The new spider that is popping up everwhere is the Brown Widow. They have equally as much venom, but when they do attack or defend themselves they only excrete a small amount of venom making them much less dangerous than the Black Widow. Researchers say that the brown widow is actually replacing the black widow in Orange County, and it is more of a blessing than a curse since they are far less dangerous.Â

Store bought products are convenient, but sometimes they just can’t beat the tried and true homemade cleanser. The recipe is easy, just mix: 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1 tbsp of castile soap, 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol, and 2 cups of warm water. You can even add in a few drops of essential oils, like jasmine, if you enjoy that stress-relieving floral scent!
2. Use a Butter Knife and Cloth to Clean Air Vents
Dust and dirt gets trapped in the tiny spaces in air vents after a while, gross! Wrap a butter knife in some cloth and you’ll be able to clean all the gaps.
 Mix some baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap together and layer it onto your stove top. Let it work it’s magic for 3 minutes and then wipe everything off!
Sometimes feather dusters just don’t get all of the dust. Wrap a pair of tongs with cloths to clean both the top and bottom of a blind at the same time.
Fill a plastic bag with vinegar and secure it over your shower head. Let it soak for a few hours, or even over night. The acidity from the vinegar should get rid of all the grime on the shower head.
