Cleaning the Eco-Friendly Way

Written by Exodus Moving on January 3, 2015. Posted in climate control, customer service, Denver, green

Moving to Boulder soon? Before you move, or right after you move, you will want to clean your new place. You could hire a cleaning company to work on your new home for you, or you could do the tasks yourself and save a lot of money. If you have started to look for cleaning companies, you’ve probably noticed that many of these companies now boast using eco-friendly cleaning products. Why? Because eco-friendly is important to many people — and it’s also a good way for cleaning companies to charge more!

But you don’t have to spend a fortune on new eco products with high price tags in order to clean your place the green way. If you do want to make sure that your home is cleaned with green in mind, here are some top tips to cleaning the eco-friendly way.

Polish Your Wooden Furniture

Most wood polish is made from oil, but the polish that’s sold en masse is often loaded with chemicals. To avoid the harsh fumes and environmental impact, simply mix some olive oil with a bit of lemon juice. The lemon juice will help remove any stains, and the olive oil will nourish the wood providing the moisture that your furniture currently lacks.

Clean Your Floors The Right Way

Have you noticed how many floor polishing products currently line store shelves? It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin! Instead of choosing a product that’s loaded with chemicals and toxic fumes, you can wash floors effectively with a mixture of water and vinegar. Vinegar is a really strong and effective cleaning agent, and it’s a great way to clean your floors while also adding some sparkle. Don’t use vinegar on soft floors like rugs, but use it on wood, tile, and ceramic.

Make that Glass Shine

You don’t need a product like Windex to make your windows shine. All you need is an empty spray bottle that includes a mixture of lemon juice and water. Simply mix the two together, grab a rag, and get to work on any glass surfaces. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your windows and mirrors shine with just a bit of homemade window cleaner!

What You’ll Need

In order to make any of the eco-friendly concoctions listed above, you will need a few empty spray bottles, various rags for different cleaning purposes, a clean mop for floors, and some dry rags to use to wipe up moisture or to use to polish wooden furniture. You will also need some lemons, some vinegar, and a few other household items — stuff that you probably already have in your home anyway! There are a lot of excellent green cleaning tips that can be found online too, so do your homework and find cheaper ways to clean while also going green — no cleaning company required!

2 Ways Movers In Greeley, CO Make Life Easier

Written by Exodus Moving on September 25, 2013. Posted in Community, help, moving, relocation

Anyone who has ever moved houses knows exactly how difficult it is and what kind of frustration it puts upon a family. Uprooting someone from a location that is extremely familiar and moving to a new one is never an easy process. This is especially true if you have little ones. Movers from around Greeley know that this is the case, and understand that moving to a town like this one might be a little bit scary. However depending upon your situation, it could be a good experience. These movers can help you find what is in your area because they know everything about Greeley, and they can help you make sure that everything is just right before they leave.

Understanding the area you live in is one of the most important, and most difficult things to do when you first moved to a new location. You will have no idea what is even close, where the grocery stores are, where a mall could be, or anything of that sort. However, if you get a full service moving company to help you move into your place, they can assist you by letting you know where these essential things are and where they are closest to you. It’s really kind of the job of a mover to understand the area that they move people to. For movers in Greeley CO, this means understanding the city’s layout in relation to where anyone could move to. The information that they could provide to new people in the area is essential to them getting to understand what is close and what is not. Granted, it’s a little bit easier these days to get away with not doing something like this because the Internet provides such great resources. However, not everyone is as reliant on the web as others are. If these people who want that human interaction and will ask where the closest stuff this. Our goal is to tell you exactly where it’s going to be.

Not only can a full service moving company provide you with the knowledge of your surrounding area, but it is essentially in their job description to help you move into your new place. By this we mean getting your heavier objects, and lighter objects for that matter, into the correct rooms so that you can arrange them as you please. They are not going to leave you stranded with a couch on your front lawn and say the best of luck to you.

The Technical Issues That Can Arise From Movers in Greeley

Written by Exodus Moving on August 18, 2013. Posted in help, moving

If there’s one place that could benefit from you hiring movers, it’s Greeley. Greeley as a town is much more agricultural than it is technical. A lot of people who live here are based around the agriculture that is produced particularly in the cattle industry. There are a few moving companies here in there who are willing to help you get your stuff in your new place, but their likely going to be more focused on moving heavy machinery than they are moving your stuff into your new place.

Now hold on a second, I don’t mean to set up a stereotype stating that all people who live in Greeley are cow farmers. No, all I’m willing the state is that the moving companies who reside in this general area are very accustomed to people who have heavy machinery needs. If you happen to be a student who is moving into a new apartment from out of state, that would be the best time to call us.

We offer a full moving service and we can be exceptionally helpful, especially if you’re someone who’s from out of state and you don’t know anyone in here who has a truck. It’s an easy assumption to make that an out of state student wouldn’t have many people who they know here. UNC is a fairly big school and gets a lot of notoriety these days. It may not be quite as large as CSU, or CU, but it’s growing rapidly. This is also true of the town of Greeley itself.

Traditionally people have thought of it is simply a former style and but over the years it has grown substantially. As stated above, it’s still really receives a lot of its income and people based around its agricultural lifestyle, but the town is modernizing quite a bit as is the school. So when it comes to hiring movers, Greeley Colorado may have quite a few options, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be limited to the people who are in town. After all, some of the best competition can be found very close. All you have to do is look and compare prices.
