So you want to do the best by your house and yourself when you clean? ChirpChirp founder Robin Murphy suggests the following:
Disinfect correctly — People spray and wipe. You need to let it sit to kill the germs.
Dust, dust, dust Dust is made of dead skin cells and insect droppings, Murphy said. Remove it to keep your skin and nasal passages free of irritation.
Go Marie Kondo and declutter It will not only make it easier for your cleaner, Murphy said, but for you to keep up with the housework.
Invest in single-use cloths Reusable cloths may be environmental-friendly, but they themselves can never be entirely cleaned, not even in the wash, said Murphy, whose company cleans with single-use cloths from Canada.
Fall in love with vacuuming Again, it removes dust. Just make sure your vacuum has good filtration, she said.
Dish soap is your friend It’s a really good product, Murphy added.
Giving cleaning the dignity it deserves
In 1996, Robin Murphy was married with a child in day care and seven years into a career at Mastercard in Purchase, where she was director of franchise management. Everything was bustling along, except that she couldn’t find a cleaning service.
So she did what born entrepreneurs always do: She met her own needs, quitting her job to become a Maid Brigade franchisee.
People thought I was crazy, said Murphy, a former Westchester County and Rowayton resident who lives in Brooklyn with husband Gary and their younger daughter. When I started, I didn’t know the first thing about it.
