Spic and span with SunShineGirls Cleaning.


If you, like us, thought you were cleaning your home correctly during lockdown,
think again...
Our housekeeper has been in quarantine at her home in KZN since March 
and little did we understand about what we would need to do
 to keep up with the standards that she had set for us over the past 17 years.
Then we discovered Amanda and her company, SunShineGirls Cleaning.
Luckily, despite the length of the lockdown, we have not needed
 her crime scene cleaning expertise!


We had been cleaning the basics, like sweeping and vacuuming etc,
but the windows, like ironing, were a problem for me.
Not so for the  SunShineGirls Cleaning crew,
who, in next to no time, had all 22 windows sparkling clean.


Our home was not THIS dirty that mushrooms were growing inside.
But there was a patch in the garden that turned out to be inedible.


Seeing  that we are still in lockdown, masks and sanitization
of the staff is required and the guys did exactly that.
With the re-opening of businesses under Alert Level 3,
there are going to be many businesses that will require specialized cleaning
as they might have been closed since March.
Homes too I should imagine would like to emerge from Levels 5 and 4
like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
Now is YOUR opportunity to literally sweep away the cobwebs
and start Active Level 3 and hopefully Level 2
with a fresh new outlook.


Amanda educated both my wife and me on proper cleaning products
and even on what we need to have in stock to keep our house
looking good and smelling fresh.


All the equipment was left out in the garden when it was not in use.
Who knew that I could get SO excited about seeing this many buckets
on our lawn...


This was saved for last and was used to bring our kitchen floor
back to life.
SunShineGirls have the correct tool for every job,
so no need to use the proverbial butter-knife as a screwdriver.
Each room was assessed and then the relevant cleaning equipment was utilized.


Let the cleaning begin.
All correct protocols were followed as per Government guidelines
as laid out for COVID-19.


The devil is in the detail...
All the visible toilet rolls were folded and labelled so that
we felt as if we were in a guest house.
It might seem like a small detail,
but it added a professional touch that we were not expecting.


Just to prove that there is gender equality amongst the team!


For some reason, the granite surfaces in the kitchen attract dirt faster than you can say "banana loaf".
But once again Amanda showed us the correct products to use
and how to clean the surfaces correctly.


The final area to be cleaned in our home was the kitchen floor.
We thought it was clean as it is had been swept and washed
 on a regular basis pre-lockdown.
We were proved wrong and this machine and the correct 
cleaning fluid made short work of grime that we did not even know existed.


This is the post-cleaning legacy that Amanda left behind...
Amanda gave us a list of recommended products before she left
and, as you can see, our cupboard is now well-stocked. 
Making certain that we maintain her suggested cleaning regime
will make certain that her time in our home was well spent and
that her services would have a long-lasting effect.
We are continuing to keep our home both clean and hygienic
on a weekly basis, a tribute to the excellent work that
  SunShineGirls Cleaning carried out.

If you want your home or office premises to sparkle like a new pin,
then I highly recommend that you call in Amanda and her team.


All the Government regulations regarding 
the various Levels and safety precautions were followed.
Permits are in place should you need to see the relevant documentation.
