Happy 5 de Mayo! Are you hosting a Cinco de Mayo Party?

What is 5 de Mayo? 

The first step in throwing an authentic Cinco de Mayo fiesta is to actually know what it is! So, first and foremost, let's get one thing straight: Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day (Mexican Independence Day is actually on September 16). Cinco de Mayo exists to commemorate Mexico's victory at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862 — hence the name of the celebration, Cinco (5th) de (of) Mayo (May)! Despite being a Mexican celebration, it seems to be celebrated even more in the United States, where you can find some pretty amazing parties annually, all across the country.

Celebrate Earth Day With Mindful Green Cleaning

Zenfully Written By: Yolanda Vasquez, Life Coach, & President of Zenful Cleaning Solutions of South Florida

This year, Earth Day will be officially celebrated around the world on April 22nd in more than 193 countries with teach-ins on environmental and climate literacy, marches, and other activities that demonstrate support for environmental protection.

. We’ve compiled a list of helpful tips to make your Earth Day celebration just a little smoother.

Homemade Natural Cleaning Products

Non-toxic household cleaning supplies can be made with items likely to be found in your home.

• All-Purpose Cleaning Spray: Stir 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons baking soda into 1/2 gallon of water and transfer to a spray bottle. This all-purpose spray can be used on most surfaces, with the notable exceptions being marble or granite, which should be cleaned using specialty products or scrubbed with hot water and a mild dish soap, if needed.
  
  Bathroom Cleaner: The all-purpose cleaning spray, above, can be used to clean a bathroom. For tougher cleaning jobs such as build-up from mold or mildew, spray the surface with a mixture of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water and let stand for an hour before rinsing.
  
  Deodorizer: Remove odors from items like storage containers or cooking utensils by soaking them in warm water mixed with baking soda. To deodorize a room, place a bowl of vinegar in the center of the room until the odor dissipates.
  
  Drain Cleaner: Dissolve 1/2 cup salt in about 4 liters of hot water, then pour down the pipes. For tougher clogs, pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup vinegar. Let stand for a few minutes, then flush the pipes with hot water. (Boiling water should only be used in metal pipes.)
  
  Floor Cleaner: Most floor surfaces can be cleaned by damp-mopping, which is where the mop is barely wet. Because floor surfaces vary, it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when it comes to in-depth cleaning. Here are homemade solutions for a few common floor surfaces:

  Furniture Polish: Combine equal parts olive oil and lemon juice and apply to a cleaning cloth sparingly. Use the cloth to wipe down furniture in broad strokes.

  Laminate and Resilient Floors: Use a solution of 1 cup vinegar to 1 gallon water to damp-mop the floor.

  Surface-Finished Wood Floors and Ceramic Tile Floors: Use 1/4 cup dishwashing detergent in a bucket of water to damp-mop the floors. Scuffs and stains can be scrubbed out with a paste made from baking soda.
  
  Note: For all surfaces in your home, check manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning before proceeding with any homespun solution.

Prepare for the Easter Bunny

Say Goodbye to Pesky Dust Bunnies

Our experienced cleaning team will get rid of these unwanted bunnies and leave your home dust-free, your floors glistening, and your furniture and appliances pristine. Not only will you and your guests appreciate a spotless home, but so will the Easter Bunny!

Enjoy Easter without Stress

Easter is upon us, and with Easter comes fun family traditions like Easter brunch, egg-dyeing, Easter egg hunts, picnics, Easter baskets, and more.

Whether you will spend your Easter season planting daffodils, serving up mimosas, painting eggs, or enjoying yummy Easter candy, Zenful Cleaning wants to wish you and your family a “hoppy” Easter and a happy Spring!

Speaking of, have you gotten to your spring cleaning yet? If not, there’s no time like the present to begin spring cleaning before the Easter Bunny (and perhaps your friends and family) arrive.

Below you'll find some tips on how to get rid of dust bunnies as you prepare to welcome in the Easter bunny:

 Zenful Cleaning Services of South Florida Presents:

Easy Spring-Cleaning Tips:

• Prioritize by room to make it easier and less intimidating.
• Don’t neglect your appliances: clean out the fridge, oven, dishwasher, etc.
• Disinfect your garbage disposal.
• Try lemon oil on doorknobs.
• Dust, dust, dust!
• Get rid of clogs – use Drain-O or Liquid Plumber in your drains.
• Use the proper brooms for sweeping indoors, choose one with finer bristles; outdoors, go for stronger, stiffer bristles!
• Clean out your closets and drawers. Donate some, sell some, trash some.
• Declutter your home office by getting in organization mode.
• Multitask: catch up on phone calls while you clean, or dance around as you vacuum, making it a workout.
• Time your chores. You’ll realize that most household chores take less time than you imagine, making them seem more tolerable once broken down realistically.

Another easy tip is just this simple: Hire a professional! Even if you don’t have a regular housekeeper, have someone come and put you up to speed on your chores.
