If you’re fortunate enough to have a professional cleaning service like Grace Home Cleaning helping out on a regular schedule, you know all too well the feeling of coming home to that tidy, spotless home. You close your eyes and for just a moment, you imagine your kitchen is always this clean and your living room forever smells so freshly dusted.

And then, you open your eyes and realize, just as quickly as your home became ship shape, it just as rapidly starts showing the signs of, well… life. You know what I mean. The mac and cheese remnants on the stove burner. The water spots on the bathroom mirror. The footprints across the once pristine hardwood floor.
