Don’t Clean Your Flat Screen TV

Jan 8

Posted by Frank Berger in Founders Blog, Green Clean Tips

Don’t clean your Flat Screen TV without reading this first.  Flat Screen TV’s aren’t the same as the cathode ray tubes (CRT) that we all grew up with.  CRT glass could handle Windex, dog slobber, and the occasional projectile during football season.

Your new LCD or Plasma screens aren’t made up of the same resilient glass as your old CRT.  The new glass is much softer, and can be scratched easily.  As a company, You’ve Got MAIDS trains all of our house cleaners during Maid University, to never clean Flat Screen TV’s. Sure we dust off the tops and sides, but we instruct our maids to not touch the screens.  We don’t want to ruin anyones Super Bowl Party, but we are very happy to clean up after it.

Here’s a few Do’s and Don’ts:

Don’t

Don’t use Windex or any amonia based glass cleaner on your Flat Panel TV Screen as that can strip away the anti-reflective coating on the glass.

Don’t use paper towels or tissue paper to clean your Flat Panel TV Screen as can scratch the soft glass.

Don’t spray fluid onto the Flat Panel TV Screen.

Don’t touch the Flat Panel TV Screen with your hand (for those of us with young children, good luck on this one).

Do

Do use a dry microfiber cleaning cloth to gently remove smudges and fingerprints.

If the Flat Panel TV Screen is very dirty consider lightly spraying your microfiber cloth with water.  The microfiber cloth should be almost dry, before gently cleaning the screen.

House Cleaning Franchise Building Value

Jan 1

Posted by Frank Berger in Founders Blog

Each morning I wake up with an overwhelming desire to improve the lives of the You’ve Got Maids house cleaning franchise owners pictured above.  This objective haunts me.  How can I add value?  How can I improve their house cleaning franchises?  Improving my franchise partners businesses will effect them, their retirement plans, and eventually their grandchildren.  I get it.  This is a grave responsibility that I eagerly accept.

This New Years morning has been no different.  I find myself at 5:30am sketching out the plans for a better franchise partner intranet portal.  It’s going to be pretty cool, will improve training at Maid University™, but only a select few will ever see it.  That’s OK, because our franchisee’s clients will see the results in cleaner homes & better house cleaning services.

Focus on giving great service.  Sure profitability is important, but the number one focus needs to be on delivering outstanding service.  If you take care of your customers, the marketplace will take care of you; and for our staff on the main campus of Maid Universtity™, our direct customers are our Franchise Partners.

3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Starting a House Cleaning Franchise

Nov 10

Posted by Frank Berger in Founders Blog

Starting a new franchise business is less risky than going it alone with a start-up, but even within that franchise opportunity there will be rough times ahead.  What are you prepared to do when your new small business is not performing up to your expectations? Your ability to prosper will be directly related to how you answer these 3 questions:

#1- Will you roll up you sleeves?

Every new house cleaning franchise is going to have tough patches while they are establishing themselves, the question you have to ask yourself is what are you prepared to do about it.

I like what Carol Tice writes over on Entrepreneur.com:

Work nonstop. When a business is in trouble, you can’t do a little here and there. It’s going to require a 110 percent of your effort for a while to get things back on track.

There is no substitute for hard work when you need it.  At You’ve Got MAIDS we discourage our Franchise Partners from cleaning.  Not that we are above cleaning, it’s just that it’s hard to lead your business & put in 8-hour days house cleaning.  However, when you are starting up there may be days where you should jump in to clean a home or two.  If you are not prepared to do this, you will limit your ability to be successful.

#2- What can you learn from a successful house cleaning franchisee?

Forge relationships with the most successful franchisee’s in your system.  Study the winners.  When you are performing poorly some people might gravitate to others who are also failing…this is a mistake.  You don’t need someone to commiserate with.  You need someone who is going to show you what is possible.

#3- Am I good at making excuses?

If so be prepared for tons of excuses to not do whatever it takes to be successful.  There is hope for you.  You can stop making excuses. You can stop blaming others for your current reality.  I guarantee you the minute you embrace this concept is the exact moment that you begin your climb to the top.

Maid Service Franchises Manifest Destiny

Oct 11

Posted by Frank Berger in Founders Blog

The same 19th Century American belief that these United States would expand coast to coast is alive and well at the house cleaning franchise You’ve Got MAIDS.  It is our maid franchises mission to promote and defend extraordinary maid service across this continent; indeed it is our Maid Service Franchises Manifest Destiny.

We’re already accomplished our goal of going bi-coastal.  Our Tacoma WA, Olympia WA, and Sacramento CA offices are all prospering.  Just this morning I was greeted by a prospective Beverly Hill house cleaning client.  Sandra literally lives in 90210 where Zillow reports her 2 bedroom condo recently sold for $850,000.  There is no doubt that she can afford maid service, but unfortunately she will be receiving a reply email that You’ve Got MAIDS regretfully does not have an office to provide Beverly Hills house cleaning services…yet!  Be patient Sandra!

GREEN CLEAN

In our ever changing world many people are taking small steps to save our earth. You’ve Got MAIDS® has taken the initiative; we’re proud to be both environmentally friendly and price competitive with companies that are not bio-friendly. It starts off with the phone estimate. Customers prefer this convenient and straightforward method which also conserves fuel and paper. In fact, most of our correspondences are over the phone or via email. We further lower our fuel consumption and carbon footprint by having our maids carpool to your house. Green cleaning your home with microfiber cleaning cloths, HEPA filtered vacuums and non-toxic cleaning products is a step in the green direction.  After all, it is the sum of the smaller acts that gives way to the greatest results. On behalf of the staff of You’ve Got MAIDS® thank you for partnering with us in our vision to protect our planet.

RESIDENTIAL MAID SERVICE

A professional residential maid service is a business which provides house cleaning for homeowners who do not have the time nor desire to clean their own homes. Residential maid services have become increasingly common in America with an industry growth rate of 20% a year.

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING SERVICE

A professional residential cleaning service, like You’ve Got MAIDS®, may be a few more dollars than a part-time independent under the table maid(normally between $0.71 & $1.42 a day), but it offers numerous advantages. We provide screened, trained, bonded and insured maids that bring all of the necessary cleaning supplies. In fact, when you hire us, you can delete cleaning products from your shopping list. Also, as a bona fide employer, You’ve Got MAIDS® is responsible for withholding Social Security income taxes, Medicare Tax, FUTA & SUTA. Most importantly You’ve Got MAIDS® worker compensation insurance insulates you & your family from personal injury attorneys.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING

You’ve Got MAIDS® strives to deliver more than expected each time. We get it.  A lot of residential home cleaning service providers over promise and under deliver. At You’ve Got MAIDS® we want long term relationships with our customers, and our goal is to under promise and over deliver.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING SERVICE

If you notice the maids do something that makes you happy, let them know. Better yet let us know by clicking our feedback button.  We care.  Your compliments are words of encouragement… like sunshine to your maids…they will not grow without it! Our CEO reads each and every piece of feedback before forwarding it to the local franchise office.

At You’ve Got MAIDS® we understand that communication is key, and we welcome all feedback…not just the good stuff! We carefully review and share everything with the maids in a construction manner. The good to great feedback gets shared at the morning meeting in front of everyone, and might go on our Wall of Fame! The not so great feedback is reviewed in private, and goes into the employees file.  As a company, we consume feedback for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
