Making Memories With Fabuloso

Cultural differences are sometimes very important to understand the way we feel and do things! When I moved to the US, I had never cleaned anything in my life, my mom always had a maid and so did I when I moved out on my own. In the past, whenever our house needed renovation or plumbing repairs, we used to rely on companies that provided excellent services. Not to forget that we also relied on companies offering top-quality cleaning and maintenance services.

For instance, when we came to the realization that our house needs a facelift and some improvements, we searched for firms that had good customer feedback. This is when some of our friends also pitched their suggestions and advised us to look for companies similar to Ware Design Build. However, at the same time, they also suggested us the names of some cleaning firms that are known help with the task of cleaning once the renovation is done. Everyone knows that when you have remodeling or a renovation done to your home, you are going to need to roll up your sleeves and get ready for the biggest clean of your life. However, it is hard to grumble about the cleaning when you get to look at your ‘new’ home and feel a sense of accomplishment, so whether you have a full remodel by a Montreal renovation company similar to KasselWood Fabricators & Renovation Montreal or just a small kitchen refurb, a good clean will pale in comparison to the amazing updated look of your property.

Needless to say, it was a big cultural change when I saw a toilette waiting for me and had to look for All Purpose Cleaners to clean surfaces, floors, kitchen, tiles, marble! What to do? Things had changed in Brazil as well and new employment rules, prevented more middle class families from affording a live-in maid, like we used to have. My mom had to then join the line of women who help with house work. But even before, she always supervised the maid’s work, making sure the cleaning was done to her liking.

I started experimenting with cleaning products and after we had a large renovation, adding 1,500 sq.ft. of hardwood floors to my cleaning duties, I immediately called my mom! What have I done?? She told me to use her family recipe; I’ve been following her recipe ever since! My floors are now 8 years old and never lost the beautiful shine, nor have they been stained by my young one! I always get compliments and people think I have brand new floors!

I am going to share her secret recipe today with you!

My mom helped me make memories with her tips, because every time I clean my home, the scent brings back memories of the way our house smelled and of how proud she was in always having everything spotless. Sometimes I can almost hear her singing! Cleaning time for me is a lot more than cleaning as it evokes memories of my Latina Childhood.

I am always looking for new cleaning tips, share yours with us! Can’t wait to hear things your Mama shared with you and how you keep your floors clean or that you’ve tried my mom’s recipe and have seen the change in your floors!

* Note: I have high quality hardwood floors, but some laminates will not tolerate water, so I highly recommend checking your floor’s specifications and product information to ensure it is safe for your floor.
