A Chance to Clean Up America?
The editorial board of the House Cleaning Utah blog would like to take this opportunity to say a few words on the outcome of the 2016 United States Presidential election. First of all, it is well understood that the large population of loyal readers includes people from both sides of the political spectrum be they liberals looking for house cleaning Vancouver or conservatives looking for house cleaning Detroit (for example). That said, it is no secret that the House Cleaning Utah blog has an obvious bias towards the Democrat Party and accordingly was hoping for a Hillary Clinton victory last Tuesday night.
All that being said, the election is now over and we must all learn to live with the consequences. Of course the House Cleaning Utah blog is loyal and patriotic. Because of this we accept the election results and wish the new president elect well. Of course we hope that his presidency is a successful even though we might no entirely agree with his policies or agenda. It is unclear what effect a Trump presidency will have on house cleaning Vancouver if any. It is entirely possible that we can all live through these four or eight years and emerge unscathed on the other side.
It would be untruthful to say that the House Cleaning Utah blog is happy with the results. We clearly are not. However, our identity as Americans supersedes our identity as Democrats and political liberals. For that reason we will offer no obstruction to the Trump administration. We cannot say that we will be enthusiastic supporters (especially at first). One could say that we have adopted a wait and see mentality. In other words we will give Mr. Trump the benefit of the doubt and see how he performs once the mantle of government rests upon his shoulders.
Of Zeros and Ones
Much like the zeros and ones that make up the language that computers understand a house too can exist in one of two states. Zero and one are the same as on and off. Houses can exist in the state of messy or clean. If the house is in the state of clean probably no further action needs to be taken except that at some point in the future the action taker should recheck to make sure that this state of being is still true. If the house is messy then steps need to be taken to return the house to its natural state of cleanliness.
The action taker can then either clean the house themselves of hire a house cleaning Vancouver to clean it for them. This is the choice the action taker must make. It is a choice between zero and one. It is the choice between on and off. But choose he or she must for the house cannot exist in its messy state forever. It must be returned to its state of cleanliness because to not respect this balance of universal forces would be to make a very grave error indeed. This error would corrupt the main frame and crash system.
But the action taker will not make that choice because he or she cannot. It quite simply is not an acceptable option. No, the action taker must take action (which is his or her nature) and hire a house cleaning Vancouver to clean the house. It does not matter whether clean is one and messy is zero or whether clean is zero and messy is one. Whichever value is clean is the value which the house must return and once it has returned to that state the cycle will be complete. But because the cycle is a cycle it will then have to repeat itself. Such is its nature.
Ideas Flow Like Water
Through the practice of meditation the random parade of thoughts, memories and images begins to slow down. Moreover meditation allows the practitioner to maintain an awareness of the machinations of the mind while at the same time not become identified with these machinations. By “identify” I refer to the process whereby a person thinks a thought and becomes fully absorbed in that thought such that they loose awareness of the actual reality in which they currently exist. In a sense the thoughts are like a flow of water. Normally people plunge right into the water and become fully immersed therein with no real awareness of the water damage Utah being done to them. However, through the regular practice of meditation one begins to cultivate the ability to maintain a separation from this water such that their focus on reality remains intact.
One might easily and on the surface justifiably ask what is the purpose of meditation. In other words, why would someone want to cultivate this ability? Put another way, what sort of water damage Utah is inflicted upon a person who chooses not to meditate and allows him or herself to become identified with the rushing onslaught of ideas? The damage is not necessarily damage per se. It might be more useful to think of it as a missed opportunity for growth. You see, meditation is nothing more than trying to see reality for what it is independent of all the layers of thoughts, judgment and commentary the mind attempts to place upon it. In a sense the practitioner of meditation is strengthening his or her ability to remain awake and conscious.
This is how it begins. Most people never make it past this point of development. However, those who are able to maintain a disciplined practice over a long period of time just may experience something a little more profound.
The Line Between Clean and Messy
Where does one draw the line between messiness and cleanliness? If a room is immaculately clean except for a single soiled sock lying on the floor, is that room messy or clean? Clearly, there exist gradations between perfectly clean and perfectly messy. It might be said that a house exists in a state of cleanliness when its occupant has the sense that the house is clean. In other words there is a certain gnosis of cleanliness that a person exists once a house has been cleaned to a certain extent. This is the case regardless of whether the house was cleaned by its owner or whether the house was cleaned by a house cleaning Salt Lake City.
Of course this perception of cleanliness will differ from person to person. In other words the perception of cleanliness is a subjective experience. Because this is the case perhaps it will not suffice to talk about cleanliness in objective terms. And yet there is a general consensus as to what is and what is not a clean house. Obviously once a house cleaning Salt Lake City has cleaned a house and that the cleaning service performed an adequate job most people would agree that the house is in fact clean. Accordingly, it is unclear as to whether cleanliness and messiness are merely subjective states.
We may never get to the bottom of this most vexing question. Certainly, this outcome will probably not be achieved before the word count in this article reaches three hundred. But perhaps, just maybe we can all take comfort in the fact that we as individuals know what is clean and what is messy for our own unique frame of reference. Moreover, our frame of reference seems to accord with most people’s perceptions of reality. True, there are exceptions but for the most part this seems to be the present state of reality.
How to Dust Like a Professional
Most home owners experience an adversity to dusting but at the same time also possess some vague sense that dusting is an activity that a responsible home owner should perform on a periodic basis. One reason for this feeling of adversity towards dusting might be related to ignorance regarding how dusting should be properly performed. Accordingly, such people would do well to listen to the advice of professional house cleaners.
For example, a professional maid service Salt Lake City would typically advise home owners to avoid the use wood polishing sprays because they often leave an unwanted residue on top of the surfaces upon which it has been applied. By contrast, employing a dry microfiber cloth can be a much more effective dusting technique over the long term because it does not leave behind a residue. In the event that a home owner finds a residue as the result of using a wood polishing spray, said residue can be effectively removed by wiping the surface with a damp cloth and followed by wiping with a microfiber to dry it.
A professional cleaning service Salt Lake City will also be able to dust in those normally inaccessible areas. Often a paintbrush or other similar implement can effectively remove dust from the various nooks and crannies found in decorative accents, lampshades, and corners. Q-Tips can then be employed to extract any remaining dust.
It is good practice to dust door frames, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and tall shelves before other furniture located on lower levels. Obviously this will prevent the necessity to remove the same dust twice.
Moreover, any accumulation of dust along the baseboards and inside cabinets can be effectively extricated through the use of a vacuum cleaner. Using this tool will prevent dust from floating away to some other unfortunate area of the room.
The Heroic Search for Weber State Housing
Exploring a student’s options when looking for Weber State housing can be a bit like walking the path of the hero’s journey. The student begins as all heroes do in the ordinary world of the mundane, the known and the comfortable. He has received his call to adventure in the form of an acceptance letter to Weber State University. Perhaps the student refuses the call to adventure at first thinking that he cannot leave behind all his obligations that require his attention in the ordinary world.
However events will eventually conspire to push our hero over the threshold into the special world of Weber State University. Perhaps a mentor of some sort talks some sense into the hero causing him to realize that the ordinary world no longer has anything to offer him. Perhaps this mentor causes the hero to see that it is only fear of the unknown that is holding him back and that his so called obligations are merely tricks of the mind to keep him from facing his fear. Regardless of the impetus the hero will eventually cross the threshold into the special world and find himself in need of Weber State Housing.
Once in the special world the hero will meet allies to help him on his journey. Perhaps the allies arrive in the form of room mates, fraternity brothers or professors. Together the hero and his allies will be confronted with tests. Agents of the ultimate enemy (the hero’s greatest fear) will confront the hero both testing and strengthening him for his ultimate ordeal to come. The actual form that the ultimate ordeal will take is dependent upon the hero. Fears are uniquely different for every person and one person’s fear might not necessarily be scary to another person. Be that as it may the hero will plod on because the hero’s journey is not one to be ignored.
Treading Upon Familiar Ground Will Make That Ground Require Cleaning
We are treading upon familiar ground by this point as I have on many prior occasions extolled the value of retaining a maid service Salt Lake City. The benefits of doing so are legion and extend throughout many (perhaps all) areas of one’s existence. Because we live on a physical plain of existence we must deal with physical matters. This means that we must keep and maintain the physical space that we occupy on a daily basis in a state of cleanliness. This cleanliness must be maintained not only for the sake of appearance (and that is important) but also for the sake of our sanity. Because I am a firm believer that living in a messy house day after day and year after year will lead to a state of mental imbalance.
A messy house leads to a messy mind. Just as thought in its ideal state is as crystal clear as a mountain stream so too must a house be spotless (in its ideal state). Now I am fully aware that keeping a house in this state of spotlessness all the time is almost impossible and would definitely require a lot of time and effort invested in the process. That is why it is so important to hire a house keeping service Salt Lake City. The home cleaning Salt Lake City service will perform the work that the home owner might not otherwise have the time or the energy to accomplish. In so doing they will free up the time and effort of the home owner. Moreover, they will prevent the homeowner from having to dwell upon cleaning their home. This is no small service because dwelling upon a thought can end up being a significant drain upon one’s energy. So yes, we are treading upon familiar ground but it is ground that must be tread. That is the very reason why it remains familiar.
Never Underestimate the Value of a Newly Cleaned House
Never underestimate the value of a newly cleaned house. Many home owners allow a mess to creep into their lives in small increments over a long period of time. Because the mess creeps in slowly it may be hard for the home owner to notice. Also, because the mess creeps in slowly the home owner will acclimate himself to it as it gradually becomes the new normal. Although the mess seems harmless enough at first, make no mistake, it can and will have a negative impact on the home owner’s quality of life if not set to right. This negative impact will take the form of lethargy, depression, flat affect, listlessness, foggy thinking and a generalized feeling that life no longer is possessed of the flavor it once had. This is why it is so important to hire a house cleaning Salt Lake City service.
When a home owner hires a house cleaning service he or she can rest assured that the slowly creeping tide of the mess will begin to ebb back from whence it came. This is true because when a home owner is in charge of cleaning his or her own mess it can be easy to procrastinate and put the task off for another day. By contrast, the act of hiring a house cleaning Salt Lake City service immediately works to take this heavy burden off of the home owner’s shoulders and insures that the mess will be cleaned up and kept at bay going forward.
Once the tide that is the slowly creeping mess is reversed through the agency of a house cleaning service, the home owner will begin to notice his or her quality of life begin to improve on multiple fronts. He or she will open his or her eyes to a new day with a renewed energy and vigor. That listlessness and loss of joie de vie will evaporate just like that mess that the home owner allowed to creep into his or her life.
Necessity of Home Cleaning Salt Lake City
All homes have drainage systems which carry the waste products water outside the home. Home cleaning Salt Lake City helps to keep the water flowing line it is essential and clear for a healthy home. Most of the people knew that the drain block only once it starts the damage to walls and floor. The blockage of waste happens only slowly as the food waste; grease, soap, etc. its found on the water line system. Not only solids are responsible for the block, but blood, water containing thickening s are agents so equally important if it is not treated properly. Once this happens, the movement of the water through the lines will be difficult. Home cleaning Salt Lake City has various drains cleaning specialist who undertake this type of cleaning activities.
Many households are evaluating expenses more carefully than ever. Is hiring a home cleaning Salt Lake City service a simple luxury? Or, does it outlines benefits that can make it a good investment – even when the budget is tighter than normal.
Often, the answer is still yes. Here are some of the benefits of using a home cleaning Salt Lake City service:
* Regular cleaning will help maintain your property’s value. For most people, a home is the single biggest investment they will make. It makes sense to protect that investment. A build-up of dirt and debris causes paint and materials to break down over time. Routine cleanings will mean that more expensive home projects like painting and replacement of flooring and fixtures will need to be less frequent, and you can still maintain a home’s equity.
* A home that is cleaned regularly is a more pleasant place to live. An organized, clean environment reduces stress and allows residents to function more efficiently.
o Professional cleaners can often attack jobs homeowners are reluctant to handle. No one enjoys cleaning the vent above a stove or scrubbing a bathroom. Jobs that are less appealing usually are done less frequently.
o Home cleaning Salt Lake City services often offer a variety of choices in what and how often they clean. If you live alone and are relatively tidy, you may need help only once or twice a month. If you have a household with small children and pets, you can opt for weekly routine cleanings to keep the house in order — or more thorough cleaning as often as you need it.
* Hiring a home cleaning Salt Lake City service frees up time that you can spend time how you want to spend it. If hiring someone to come and clean the house means you have more productive hours at work, or better yet — more time with your family the benefits can far outweigh the expense.
* Many of the same benefits apply in the business world. Small, medium and large business owners can reap the benefits of increased productivity, lower overall overhead and present a more professional “face” to customers.
* Even in today’s economy home cleaning Salt Lake City services are not just a good value for businesses seeking commercial janitorial service. Home cleaning Salt Lake City can keep your business or home looking neat, your life organized and your environment as effective and efficient as possible.

To truly know the difference between a clean house and a messy house it would be helpful to hire a cleaning service Salt Lake City. True, a person could attempt to clean their house on his or her own but the results will not be the same. This is true because a cleaning service cleans for a living. This means that they clean on a daily basis week after week. They have put their ten thousand hours in honing their craft. There is no way that a mere civilian can match the job that a cleaning service can perform. That is simply a fact unworthy of further debate.
