Maid Service & House Cleaning Pembroke Pines Florida -

Monday, October 12th, 2009 by jbgloss

Sun Cleaning has been cleaning Pembroke Pines for over 20 years - here is some information from Wikipedia on Pembroke Pines:

Pembroke Pines was incorporated in 1960, and took the name Pembroke from its location along Pembroke Road and the many pine trees in the area. But the name Pembroke may date back much further. The name may have been from an early landowner from Britain known as the Earl of Pembroke.

The first inhabitants estimate in the city are American Indians that first appeared about 4,000 years ago. Skeletal remains of animal hunters dating about 10,000 years old were found around Broward County, showing that perhaps human beings have lived around here even earlier.

The town started as agricultural land occupied by dairy farms and grew after the war as servicemen were retiring, including large eastern sections that were part of the Waldrep Dairy Farm. The first two tiny subdivisions were called Pembroke Pines. One of the first homes in the city belonged to Dr. and Mrs. Walter Smith Kipnis, built in 1956. Dr. Kipnis was also the first mayor. It was then known as the “Village of Pembroke Pines” and was incorporated into a town in 1959. Builders contested the incorporation, so a legal battle was brought out concerning the boundaries of the new town that were incorrectly stated in the ballot. City services were added in the 1960s with the building of the first fire department building near North Perry Airport. However, University Drive was the western edge of habitable land for residents.

In January 1960, Pembroke Pines held another election when the town became a city. This small property was less than a square mile and was between Hollywood Boulevard and SW 72nd Avenue, and had the Florida Turnpike to the east. Pembroke Pines sought to give citizens involvement so they organized the Pembroke Pines Civic Association. The square-mile city was unable to expand due to North Perry Airport and the South Florida State Hospital. Joseph LaCroix, a developer, had his 320 acres (1.3 km2) land north of Pines Boulevard annexed to the city. This gave a new pathway to proceed westward. In 1977, a maximum security prison known as the Broward Correctional Institution was built in northwestern part and Cooper City. It has a capacity for 611 inmates and has academic programs, vocational programs, wellness education services, library services, substance abuse programs, chaplaincy services, institutional betterment programs, and many other programs. In 1980, property from Flamingo Road to U.S. 27 was incorporated into Pembroke Pines, doubling the size of the city. This expansion included the property that is currently C.B. Smith Park as well as the Hollywood Sportatorium and the Miami-Hollywood Motorsports Park. At this time, I-75 was extended through the city.

The city’s rapid population growth in the mid- to late-1990s was part of the effect of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Thousands of southern Miami-Dade County residents moved northward to Broward County, many to Pembroke Pines. The resulting boom ranked the City of Pembroke Pines third in a list of “Fastest Growing Cities” in the United States in 1999.[4] Over the years, the increase in population has caused the need for schools. In 2003, Charles W. Flanagan High School had close to 6,000 students, making it the most populated high school in Florida. In response to Broward County’s need to keep up with demands, Mayor Alex Fekete and City Manager Charles Dodge started a Charter School System. As of 2006, Pembroke Pines had the largest Charter School System in the county. The city is also home to campuses for Broward Community College and Florida International University. The city’s population has grown from (1990 pop. 65,452) to an estimated 2005 population of 148,000.

In 2001, Pembroke Pines was home to the most dangerous road intersection (Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road) in the United States, according to State Farm Insurance.[5] A bond initiative was passed by city residents to allow the city to begin construction to redesign the intersection. The intersection has since been expanded with additional east/west Pines Boulevard lanes.

Over the past decade as developers expanded Pembroke Pines westward, more hurricanes have affected the city and its residents. In 1999 Hurricane Irene dumped up to 16 inches (410 mm) of rain in the city. The western communities, such as Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes, saw an estimated 19 inches (480 mm). Then in 2004, Hurricane Francesand Jeanne passed to the north (Palm Beach County) but brought tropical storm-force winds and left minor tree and shrub damage. The 2005 Hurricane Season left a mark on the city. Hurricane Katrina passed directly over the city as a category one storm. In its wake, it left some damage such as downed power lines and trees, especially in the Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes developments. In late October Hurricane Wilma’s eye passed about 20 miles (32 km) toward the north of the city, which saw the strongest winds its residents had experienced in decades. The strongest wind officially recorded in the city was a 92 MPH sustained wind, with a 101 MPH wind gust. Most of the city was left without power for days, lights at intersections had been destroyed, a riot at a gas station which led to it being closed, most landscaping was destroyed or damaged beyond repair, and left minor structural damage (mainly roof and screen damage). In addition, schools remain closed for two weeks.[citation needed]


Basic Tips For Maintaining Stone Flooring

Friday, September 25th, 2009 by jbgloss

Whatever thing you posses, you must take good care of it. It could be your clothes, jewels, accessories, books or the parts of your house. When we are mentioning about taking care of house stuffs, first thing that crosses our mind is cleaning. Floor is one of the most essential parts of our house and it gets dirty very quickly as people keep coming in and going out by walking on the floor. Especially, if the floor is made up of stone, the dirt gets stuck very easily. Hence proper cleaning procedure is to be adopted to clean your stone made floor. If you live in Tampa, you will find several companies that offer diverse floor cleaning tools. It is not the fact that, such products are available in Tampa only; you can find them in almost any part of the globe. But, the market of Tampa floor cleaning and Tampa stone cleaning is quite opportunistic.

If your home flooring is done with natural stones, you have to take very good care of it. It takes quite a good investment to develop such flooring and without proper maintenance such investment will go in vein. You definitely won’t let that happen. With proper stone cleaning techniques, you can enjoy new like flooring for many years. Now, the question is how you can keep your stone floor in such a good condition? Here are some vital advises that will help you in proper maintenance of your floor.

Your main concern must be fighting dirt, sand and grit. These things do the maximum damage to the stone floors, especially if natural stones are used in the construction. These particles are rough and hence cause damage to the luster and sheen of the floor. The basic tip for keeping the dirt away is using dry dust broom and mop on a regular basis. Dust must be frequently mopped and a vacuum cleaner is a good solution in this regard. However, you have to be careful to use a good vacuum cleaner so that it leaves no scratch or mark after cleaning the floor. The reason why vacuum cleaners are handy because, these tools come with several attachments and such attachments can reach delicate corners where it is not possible to clean with mere hands and broom.

You can also put area rugs or walk off mats on the entrance of your home, where the maximum dust and dirt assembles. If you put such mats over your stone floor then the loose dirt will be prevented from reaching the stone floor. However, placing a mat does not end your responsibility; you have to clean the mat or rug regularly to keep dirt out of the stone surface.

Regular mopping not only cleans your stone floor, but also makes it look gorgeous. Use a good cleaner that is not rough on the stones to clean your floor. Regular cleaning, mopping or uses of mats are very common ways to maintain stone floors in a good condition. If you take care of these simple things, you will enjoy your stone floor for long years.

Connor Sullivan hired a Tampa floor cleaning company for his parents who needed a little help with the house work. He also hired a Tampa stone cleaning company to clean the stones in his backyard patio.

10 Effective Household Cleaning Hints

Thursday, August 27th, 2009 by jbgloss

Household cleaning can often be very irritating and it can often seem like we spend all day trying to keep our house together, to only come back the next day to find our home dirty again. It’s as if we live in some twilight zone where cleaning is our eternal duty. If you experience a similar dilemma I’d like to offer to you some household cleaning hints that will hopefully save you some of the anguish of repetitive cleaning. Hopefully these hints will help you keep the dirt dogs at bay and give you a little more peace of mind before you have to do battle with them again.

Keep a Cleaning Schedule
1. When we have a cleaning schedule organizing our cleaning tasks on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis cleaning becomes a cinch! No longer will we have to stress about what needs to be cleaned, or when it needs to be cleaned, because we will know! As long as we maintain consistency with a schedule our cleaning tasks and life becomes much easier.

Organize a cleaning checklist
2. For better organizational purposes, organize a cleaning checklist with all cleaning tasks you intend to take care of that day. Check off the appropriate cleaning task once it has been finished. Having a checklist is like having a set list of goals that will keep your cleaning consistent and show you exactly what is getting accomplished.

Reduce Distractions
3. When it’s time to clean, in order to get the job done faster we need to be focused. Cell-phones and televisions can often pry our attention away from cleaning and this just increases the time we will have to spend. Anything that causes an outside distraction needs to be reduced so you can focus properly.

Scan you home
4. Before you begin your cleaning duties take note of all areas of your household that need the most cleaning. Cleaning from the areas of your house that need the most attention, and working your way down to the ones that need the least ensures long-lasting cleaning efficiency.

Organize your Cleaning Supplies
5. Have you cleaning supplies organized and ready to go in a carry-all bin. Not only does this save you time and energy of having to search around the house for the proper cleaning supplies, it also cuts your time in half by just having them and being ready to go.

Ask the Family for Help
6. When there are more hands around the house, cleaning time is drastically cut in half. Ask other members of the house to give you a hand when cleaning. To increase effectiveness and efficiency give each family member their own section of the house work from.

Listen to Music
7. To make the time go by even faster listen to music! Get a CD player, or MP3 Player and let the music guide your cleaning actions. Music can aid with just about everything and once we get into the zone you’ll be surprised just how fast you will finish cleaning.

De-Clutter
8. Make sure to always remove any clutter that might be lying around the house. Cleaning can’t begin until excess clutter has been removed. In order to cut down on the time of having to do this, I recommended putting into practice, putting items back where they belong once you’re done using them.

Alternative Cleaning Methods
9. Because many commercial cleaning agents can be hazardous to one’s health, many people often prefer to use alternative cleaning solutions. While alternative solutions may take a bit more time to use, they are often inexpensive, can be bought in bulk, and are health and environmentally friendly. Items like white distilled vinegar, baking soda, and club soda are all examples of alternative cleaners.

Floor Cleaning
10. Most of the dirt that our homes accumulate can often be found within our flooring. Maintaining consistent vacuuming and floor cleaning can prevent much of the buildup. Some people prefer placing rules such as having no shoes on the carpet or flooring to prevent dirt buildup. Most of the time it is with our shoes that dirt gets tracked into our homes, so this is actually a very good idea to use.

Hopefully this list of 10 household cleaning hints will have given you some insight into ways to make cleaning easier for you. The aim is to utilize effective and efficient methods to cut down on time spent when cleaning our house. Once we can achieve efficiency cleaning house becomes a breeze that we can knock out in no time flat.

Make sure you are communicating with you maid serviceCommunicating

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 by jbgloss

Make sure you are communicating with the maid service or house cleaning company. One of the key factors in working with a cleaning company is that the office staff is not there. So, don’t rely on the cleaners to get your message through.

Remember the old game we played in school where one person would say something then whisper it to the next person until it got back to the teacher. It was never what the teacher started with. The same thing with us - please give us a call in the office for scheduling, special requests, etc…. this will make your experience with a cleaning service or maid service much better.

Thanks for being a helpful client!!
