Involving kids in the clean-up develops great habits and builds structure. Isn't that the ultimate goal? Busy moms and dads have a bazillion thing to do. Although Halloween has come and gone, many of us still were our invisible superman and wonderwoman costumes. Performing countless duties in a day, more than some people do all week! With work, home life (kids sports activities, your personal do list, keeping your family’s well-oiled machine running). At time it can all seem a bit hectic and overwhelming all that we have to do.

The day has finally arrived! The day your little ones have been waiting for all year long and maybe yourself. Here, in the Hampton Roads area kids can't trick or treat unless they're 12 or younger and while start times could vary, it all ends at 8 p.m.
Here at You’ve Got Maids of Virginia Beach we love this time of year. Little superheroes, ghost and goblins come by trick or treating, they all look so cute in their costumes. But, on this day there are a few hazards we all need to look out for while Trick or Treating.

While thinking of the many delightful dishes to bake. We often forget about the place where we are going to do the baking, the “Oven”. After baking and roasting in the oven all year long, it has become an unpleasant sight. With all the burned, charred, built up grease and grime that has been left behind. You know that smell you get when you turn on the oven? Well, it not natural, it’s from all those spills, splatters and bubbling over of the delightful and no so delicious dishes that were baked. They create fumes that get into the food you’re baking and taint the taste and even the smell.

Keeping the oven clean requires a conscious effort.  The holidays are quickly approaching and keeping your oven clean is imperative to baking the perfect dish!  We don’t want the old burned, charred, built up grease and grime that has been left behind ruin your holiday meals.  We here at You've Got Maids of Virginia Beach have put together a few tips to help you keep your oven clean and ready for this holiday season:

Don’t you want to breathe cleaner air? Do you or someone in your home suffer from allergies? According to the EPA mold can float around in the air, being invisible to the naked eye. So, you, your family, pets and any guess that comes into your home maybe breathing in toxic air.
Mold loves wet, damp and moist areas where there spores can grow and multiply. Molds can cause an immediate or delayed allergic reaction if inhaled or touched. For those with asthma, mold can also cause them to have an attack.

At You’ve Got Maids of Virginia Beach we love cleaning ovens, cleaning them to near brand new condition. Oven cleaning can be hard work, thats why we are fortunate to have a lady that does most of the work for us. A ladybug that is! Our ladybug heats up to a staggering 300+ degrees to tackles that burned on, charred built-up grease and grime that has been left behind for months and in some cases years from roasting and baking.  Below are a few critical tips to insure your evolution is safe and is a complete success:
Choosing the best time to clean your oven is critical. Self-cleaning ovens can generally take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. Be sure to make it known to everyone in the home that you are about to operate the self-cleaning function on the oven to avoid any mishaps.
