GREEN CLEANING TIPS FOR REMOVING BACTERIA FROM JETTED TUBS

DOES YOUR JETTED TUB HARBOR BILLIONS OF BACTERIA PARTICLES?

The answer is maybe. Until just recently jetted tub manufacturers stored dirty water in the pump while the Jacuzzi was not in use. This was not very good for the consumer because dirty bathwater would often stagnate in the pump for months, creating a perfect breeding ground for mold bacteria and fungi. Most modern jetted tubs, aka air-jetted tubs, are plumbed in such a way that the pump and hoses drain completely along with the tub.

COULD YOU CATCH LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE IN YOUR OWN JETTED TUB?

The answer is maybe. You don’t need to go to the American Legion convention in Philadelphia to catch Legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia and it affects 10,000-17,000 Americans each year. Legionella bacteria are found naturally in water. Legionella bacteria love warm water and can be found in hot tubs, hot water tanks, plumbing systems & even industrial size air-conditioning systems.

Bacterial biofilms look like black or brown slime and consist of bouquet of bacteria. If you haven’t used your Jacuzzi in a while you may have noticed these biofilms come out of the jets when you turn it on.

WHAT IS THE GREENEST WAY TO CLEAN MY JETTED TUB?

Green Cleaning Expert Angie Barnes has a solution for you. Angie Barnes has studied green cleaning techniques for years. Before becoming a You’ve Got MAIDS first Franchise Partner, Angie Barnes founded a green cleaning company that specialized in Green Cleaning homes on Daniel Island – Charleston, SC.

Step By Step Jacuzzi Green Cleaning Tips:

  • #1-Fill the jetted tub with warm water at least 2″ above the highest jet.
  • #2-Add 2 cups of white distilled vinegar.
  • #3-Add 1 cup of salt.
  • #4-Run the pump for 15 minutes.
  • #5-Drain.
  • #6-Rinse the surface of the drain, jets, and faucets.
  • #7-Wipe dry with clean microfiber cloth .

GREEN CLEANING TIP – BLEACH SUBSTITUTE

If you’re looking for a bleach substitute, clean with hydrogen peroxide, the inexpensive stuff you get at the drugstore. It’s nontoxic, so when you flush it down with the rest of your waste water, you’re not flushing phosphates and toxins into our streams and water supply.

I mainly use it for two things: laundry and to kill mold and mildew in the shower. You can put it in a spray bottle, but it needs to stay in a dark (opaque) bottle in order to stay active.

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.
