Clean Clean Clean

So, since Thomas and I have arrived in Phoenix we have successfully moved into our new home, Thomas has begun working for the Mayo Clinic Hospital (yay!) and I have started to work remotely.

While adjusting to our new surroundings and new work arrangements we also have to juggle making our house into our home. Before we bought it, our house was used as a rental property and was treated like a rental property :( The carpets were disgusting, the pool was a mess, the toilet was rusty.... this place just lacked some major TLC.

The first thing we did was hire a cleaning company! What a lifesaver! It would have taken the two of us all day to clean this place! Everything needed to be wiped off, sanitized, swept, mopped, etc. There was dog hair everywhere and dust had settled in the few months that it had been vacant. Plus, (and this may just be me) I get the eebie jeebies thinking about what invisible germies I might be coming in contact with when cleaning up after Lord knows who.

Two wonderful women from a local MaidPro scrubbed the inside of the house from top to bottom while Thomas and I focused on getting things off of our moving truck. That saved us sooo much time! Anytime we move in the future (and hopefully those moves won't be numerous) we intend to have a cleaning service come through to prep the place for us.
