Again, today I will keep it short, but I do have a valuable tip for you. I want to tell you about the world of the internet. Many people simply do not realize the power of a simple website such as FordsCleaning.com. Our site doesn't do anything all that unique or special but it gets the job done. Many things we would normally have to do as upper-management are streamlined on our website. Clients can request a quote, view our services, apply for a job, and even post a comment right here on this blog. All of that without any of our involvement.
      Having customers do all these things online saves us time. We don't have to field a hundred phone calls every day or overwork a secretary. Our inbox fills with quote requests and job applications so that we may answer them in a timely manner on our own time.

      Taking care of carpet, tile, and/or hardwood flooring can be a painstaking chore. Once a week I used to take out the vacuum and mop and scrub my floors for nearly two hours or more. It was very time consuming after all the food, crumbs, and spills that plagued the floors throughout the week. Today I have adopted a new policy that saves a tremendous amount of time and keeps my house looking fresh and clean. I vacuum and mop every single day!

      About fifteen years ago the old aluminum window frame was trumped by the new vinyl window frame. These newer windows are made using polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A company just starting out with residential window cleaning will run into these a lot. After all, vinyl and wooden window frames have over 70% of the residential market as of the year 2007. What most people don't know is how versatile these windows are and how easy they can be to clean versus the old aluminum frame.
