Does anyone pay someone to clean their house? sm
If so how often do they clean for you and how much do you pay them?   What size home do you have? i.e. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen?
I need help to keep my house clean. What should I pay?
Am thinking 10.00/hr cash of course. Is that too low? My house just needs maintenance (floors, dusting, countertops).
Know what - OSI will house clean QA starting from the top if they want to stay in business

Darling hubby, dumb hubby, dufus hubby. Take your pick. I have been known to use all three--

I feel like you just came to my house!!

I am on the verge of tears because I want to do this, I know I can do this, but something is keeping me from being my best.  Yes I have kids...6 mos and 7yrs.  I thought it was the kids distracting me as well, but I called myself adapting a routine with them where I had uninterupted time to type, but I still seem to make a mistakes now and then. Don't get me wrong, I'm not just horrible where every single report will be riddled with typos.  But like I said for every 10 I type, 3 will have one or two errors on them.


 I don't think I'm rushing...I read my reports after I do the spellcheck and then read along afterwards while listening to the recording.....and it still happens.   They are always errors that spellcheck can't pick up, which is why I'm frustrated.


I've only been doing this for a few months, and it wasn't like this in the beginning, only when I started to get the dictators who couldn't make up their minds or were difficult to understand.  I find myself spending so much time listening, so that there are no blanks, that I am missing the obvious stuff.


I need a dehumidifier here in the NE. I feel like EVERYTHING in my house is wet!

Your hubby must my hubby's twin. sm
He can't find anything or put anything away either. He did learn a long, long time ago to empty his pockets, though. I have a nice big doghouse where he spends with his dog with things get too hot. Or, he can sleep in his corvette, but it gets a little cramped in there!
It is not hubby, is her father, but not hubby. nm

clean
I already thought of that, but I hear they aren't worth crap.
sometimes have to clean
you know you can take the ball out and clean it? If not, turn mouse over and twist plate direction of arrows.
have you tried the can of air to clean it?
this is a post I just read:

My Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard is quite nice. The keys are all attached to the front of the keyboard. Just unscrew the back and the front lifts up with all the keys. On the bottom part of the keyboard remains the rubber/silicon and circuit board, which can be sprayed off. I then submerge the top keyboard in scalding hot soapy water to clean it.
Nothing to do with MT but does anyone have any ideas on how to clean - sm
a linoleum bathroom floor? All my bathroom throw rugs (4-large bathroom) have left yellow stains under where each lies.  I presume the rubber somehow reacted with the floor.  This has happened in both my bathrooms but much worse it the one which has a window.  Short of replacing the floor does anyone have any ideas? TIA.
Let's clean up our board........sm
While it is certainly everyone's right to "agree to disagree", the mud slinging that unfortunately takes place here is usually not started by anyone who truly wants to get a point across.  I myself have gotten into some very heated discussions over issues related to our profession. But I've never stooped so low as to attack anyone personally.. and the minute the discussion starts getting ugly, I'm outta there!  There are people on these boards with no other purpose than to see where they can start trouble.  They're just looking for attention and the only way to get rid of them is to totally ignore them.
Help! How do I clean out my cache?

I have been unable to access, since last night, a website (Weightwatchers.com) and/or its forums that I go to regularly. I have friends that are able to access it so I am wondering what I might need to do to "clean things out" on my computer in order to get back to the web site.


TIA.


Any way to clean up a BAD dss file??

Doctor dictated despite the fact that he had a tremendously BAD phone connection.  I can only hear a word every few sentences, the rest is loud humming and static.  I have a KOSS equalizer that didn't help at all.  Anyone know of a miracle program or something that might salvage this recording, as he doesn't want to re-dictate it?  THanks! 


Always a dishcloth and use a clean

one every time.  Right now we are without a dishwasher.  I use a dishcloth for dishes and a dishcloth to clean countertops/table  - or will sometimes use a paper towel.  I also use bleach or an antibacterial cleaner about once a week.


Never, ever use a sponge.  If you use a scrub brush need to at least dip in bleach every day that you use it. 


I can't remember where it was, but in the last couple of months I saw a show like 60 minutes and it was talking about how dirty a kitchen is, especially in comparison to your bathroom, and it was enough to make you sick, in more ways than one. 


 


I third the Mr. Clean Eraser. nm

clean environment
Everyone is making great points and I appreciate your comments, truly!  But, paying a few more thousand dollars for a hybrid car isn't really a big deal to me, as I know I am doing my part to help reduce the dependency on foreign oil and also these hybrids reportedly are so much better for the environment as far as pollution.  That is really the reason why I'm leaning towards it, as well as the increased miles per gallon.  Thanks for your opinions!
You have to clean 3 rollers...sm

or you can do what I did, I waited until the Logitech mouse (originally was about $70) came down in price to about $20 or $24 and bought one.  You never have to clean them inside and you don't need a mousepad.


 


I used to clean houses when I sm
needed extra money.  We got behind in bills a couple of times due to illnesses, surgeries, etc. I put an ad in the paper and picked up several jobs that way.
How do you all clean your keyboards? SM

I eat and drink at my desk, as I'm sure most of us do.  And of course, crumbs fall, drinks drip, and there's the dust.  I was just wondering what everybody else uses to clean their keyboards.  I have tried canned air to blow out the crumbs and then use alcohol on the surface and stick Q-Tips down in all the crevices and between the keys.  Just wondered if there was some miracle solution that would make it easier and less time consuming?


Put them on probation and tell them to clean up their act or they
are gone. Too many MTs are looking for work right now to put up with people who don't/won't do their job.
How do I clean my keyboard?

My keyboard is getting nasty down under the keys.  The vacuum used to do the trick, but now some dust, crumbs, and Lord knows what else remains in the bottom of the tray.  If I unscrew the screws on the bottom, will that allow me to lift the top off?


I figured I would ask, because I often do things like that only to end up with the wrong part coming off or nothing at all happens.  (I hate that.) 


Any tips appreciated!


I just clean mine with...
a good upside-down shake, a clean paintbrush for between the keys, and a soft cloth with a little gentle cleaner of water with a splash of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for the top.
Heck, I can't even keep my sink clean

And I hate shoes. I guess I need to be more dedicated. Just working on my hot spots every day would do me a world of good.


And then they'll have clean up poopoo

Do you have a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser???
I don't know if it will work, because thank God neither one of mine have ever done that before, but it does clean a lot of stuff, from walls, to white sneaker, the bathtub. 
Do the first account first, clean it out, then move on
x
I do that, too. I don't like to shower first to power clean
the house because then you get all sweaty with cleaning chemicals all over.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - use dry nm

I'm with you. I hate to clean and really don't have time (sm)

I work 7 days a week and used to have a gal come in twice a week until the place got back to normal....then once every 2 weeks after that. Had to pay $10/hour, so had to work twice as hard to pay her.


Finally had to let her go in September last year and the place hasn't been the same since.  Trying to get my savings back up so I can hire somebody again.  I have no closets but 1 in the whole house and no place to hang coats, etc.


I cleaned really good last week and was surprised it only took me 3 hours, but that's 3 hours I could be making money to save up to hire somebody. Everyone in this area are private people. There are no services like Merry Maids.


I second the Mr. Clean eraser motion
My son recently got black permanent marker on my wooden kitchen table . . . amazingly, the magic eraser rubbed it right off. I have used them for textured surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom before also and they "work like magic".
what do you use to clean computer screen?
can i use lens cleaner like for my eyeglasses? alcohol?   thanks.
Wiping the computer clean
Hi, I have a computer that is about 5-6 years old, and I no longer use it.  I want to clean all my data off it so that if it ends up in someone else's hands none of my confidential MT work is on it.  When I bought the computer, my hard drive had two partitions; one for the restore to factory settings and one for my use.  I took my computer with me to an MT company for training, and they wiped out my partition that had my restore information on it.  I hadn't made a copy on a disk, so I no longer have that as an option.  Can I simply reformat my hard drive to wipe everything clean?  I don't really care if that wipes out the OS too.
Yes, you can format it and wipe it clean. nm

My family probably thinks elves clean up after them - sm
As I try to do all the picking up, etc. after everyone is in bed. Granted I can't vacuum then but most of the junk is picked up and put away, including the laundry. My husband wants to hire someone, I really don't want a stranger in my house though. Also my husband fails to understand that they will not pick up his dirty clothes, or put his stuff away where it belongs, etc., and that you actually have to straighten up a bit before someone comes in to clean for you. What he wants is a maid who will do what I won't!....maybe after we win the Mega Millions, right?
No self-respecting prostitute would clean someone's toilet either
Such low expectations. Sad.
how do I clean my flat screen monitor...
I have wiped it off very lightly, but something is smudged on it and I don't wanna ruin it!
I do that and I also use paper towels to clean counter.

Keeping office chair clean

Hi,


 


I have a cloth office chair that is fairly new.  Lately, I noticed it's getting a bit of those little tufts (for lack of a better word) of fabric on the seat.  I had used a towel to cover the seat for awhile but it was more hassle than it was worth.  I was wondering how I can get this cleaned up and how I can prevent it from happening again.  TIA


I could keep my place clean if I didn't have to pick up after HIM! nm

I use an alcohol prep pad to clean the dirt off &
the corner of the packet it comes in I slide between the keys all around and I get these big dust bunnies that I just pull out with my fingers.  I also turn it upside down and shake it once in a while too.
clean the heads with an alcohol prep, if
you have one, or take out the ink jet cartridge and using a gentle wrist motion, turn it up and down a few times and replace.

You must "accept all changes" to send a clean document.
Where that option is located depends on your version of Word.


I clean houses for disabled at low cost and run errands.
I have several clients and make an adequate amount extra each month for bills, gas, going out, and those other things that POP UP.
No worries.. thats the one who keeps telling us to clean our trailers and get an education.


DH and I used to clean lawyers' offices for supplemental income. sm

Made good money.  They were very appreciative folks and even gave us a $100 tip at XMAS time.  Mind you, we were working for a contractor.  Would have made more if we were the contractor.  No shame here.
