The Impact of Cancer

Cancer is a disease that affects millions of people around the world.

It is one of the leading causes of death, claiming more than 600,000 lives in the US alone every year. Cancer has an enormous impact on families and individuals, as it can affect all aspects of life, from physical and mental health to financial security.

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the costs associated with treatments can add up quickly.

In addition to medical expenses, there are often extra costs for things such as transportation to and from treatment centers, medications, nutrition, and other necessary items. These costs can be overwhelming for individuals and families already dealing with the emotional burden of a cancer diagnosis.

The physical effects of cancer are also difficult to cope with.

Treatments can cause extreme fatigue and nausea, making it difficult to keep up with everyday tasks such as housework. As cancer progresses, these symptoms often become worse and patients may need help with basic household chores. This is where Cleaning for a Reason comes in.

Cleaning for a Reason is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping cancer patients by providing free professional housecleaning services.

They partner with cleaning companies throughout the United States and Canada to provide this service to people who are undergoing cancer treatment. We at Simply Maid are proud to partner with Cleaning for a Reason during the month of April to offer our cleaning services to cancer patients in our community.

How do I nominate a cancer patient for a free cleaning

At Simply Maid, we are proud to partner with Cleaning for a Reason and help cancer patients in our community.

Cleaning for a Reason is a network of over 1,200 residential cleaning companies that provide free home cleanings to cancer patients in all 50 states and Canada. Each patient receives two free home cleanings, one a month for two months. This service is meant to support cancer patients.

To apply for this service, you must fill out an application on the Cleaning for a Reason website. Once your application is approved, Cleaning for a Reason will contact you to discuss the process and provide you with the contact information of one of their approved service providers in your area. After that, the service provider will set up an appointment with you to complete the free cleaning.

We are thankful for the opportunity to support cancer patients in our community and hope this helps make their lives a little bit easier.

New Year, Clean Home: Welcome 2023 Dust-Free!

Simply Maid OK house cleaning services

With the New Year comes a chance to start fresh and improve upon yourself in every aspect of your life, including your home, routine, and even your health. The new year also gives you the opportunity to set goals and make plans to achieve them; here are some tips from Simply Maid Ok on how to clean your home and develop the habit of maintaining cleanliness, as you work to achieve your New Year’s dust-free and clean home!

Starting With a Clean Slate

There is no better time than a fresh new year to make resolutions that are going to be here for the next 365 days. Why not kick off the new year with a clean slate, fresh state, and fresh habits? Getting into the habit of doing a little bit more each day is a good way to start new habits for 2023.

Keep reading for more practical tips to get your home looking like you’ve flipped over a page and gotten things out of the way. But first, remember to take a deep breath. Inhale, exhale. This will allow you to obtain that fresh mindset to remain calm and positive, which can spread throughout your home. Remember that achieving goals and cleaning a home is a step by step process. Let’s get into it!

Goal Setting

What are your goals for the new year? Maybe you want to learn a new skill, start a new business, or get in shape. Whatever your goals are, it’s important to write them down and log them in a journal. Put sticky notes on your mirror or around your room.

These reminders will be great motivation throughout the day! This will help you stay on track and accountable. Plus, telling someone else about your goals will help keep you motivated. Find an accountability partner and work together to motivate each other.

Decluttering

One way to start the year off right is by decluttering your home and getting organized. This will help you feel more relaxed and in control of your life. Plus, it will be easier to focus on achieving your goals if your environment is clean and orderly. Here are some tips to help you get started:

  1. Start with one section or room at a time. Don’t try to do everything at once or you’ll get overwhelmed.
  2. Cleaning does not have to be a daunting task that takes up your whole weekend. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes whenever you get a chance and see how much you can get done in that short amount of time.
  3. Some great places to start are the kitchen cabinets, refrigerators, and pantries. Throw out any expired produce and snacks that are no longer edible, to prevent bacteria and mold from growing in these spaces. Similarly, you can dispose of any cosmetics, cleaning products, and so on that may be in your bathroom or storage space.
  4. Another place where clutter piles up is desks, shelves, and even the dining tables. Find a new place for your mail and loose leaf papers. Organize any valuables, and so on!
  5. Finally, the closet. Donate any clothes that no longer fit you to a local charity organization. You can support orphanages, domestic violence and homeless centers, and so on. Find a cause that resonates with you!

Once you have assessed your space and decluttered, it will be easier to organize and maintain cleanliness!

Strong Organizing System

One way to help you achieve your goals is to create an organizing system. This can be as simple as creating a list of things you need to do each day or setting up a specific place for all your important papers.

An organizing system can help you in many ways. It can save you time by helping you find things quickly, it can reduce stress by making it easier for you to stay on top of things, and it can help you be more productive overall.

Personalize Organization

#1: Keep it simple.

The more complicated your plan is, the less likely you are to see it through.

#2: Make it customizable.

With every new experience in life, your needs change and thus your system should, too.

#3: Make your system tangible.

Examples include apps like Google Calendar, paper calendars, and spreadsheet trackers. Other people like to have an old school paper to-do list to make sure they can cross things off when they are done. Nothing feels better than being able to cross something off your list!

Consistency and Accountability

To motivate ourselves, we can set mini-goals leading up to our major goal. This forces us to be more consistent and accountable with ourselves as we break down what we’re doing and all the steps involved in it. To put it simply, begin somewhere and progress little by little.

Don’t skip a day, hold yourself accountable. Developing a good discipline routine is important, but seeking a support group or partner will help, too. Having someone to lean on, especially when times are tough, can be an enormous help.

Encouragement and Rewards

A new year is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start towards a dust-free home. But it can be difficult to stay on track. That’s why it’s so important to motivate and encourage yourself along the way. Set up both short-term and long-term goals, as well as an even split of rewards.

Since as the days go by and you’re finding it more difficult to maintain your good habits, treat yourself as an investment by allowing yourself something to look forward to, like a day at the spa or buying a new book. That way, you will be motivated to do better in the long run and invest in yourself again.

Double-check These 8 Things Before Packing Your Bags for Holiday Travel

December and January are the busiest months of the year when it comes to holiday travel, with people flying all around the world to visit family and friends. While you don’t want to spend too much time worrying about what could go wrong, it’s always helpful to be prepared and aware of any potential problems that might arise. Here are eight things you should double-check before packing your bags for holiday travel this season, whether you’re heading across the country or around the world. You never know when this information will come in handy!

1) Charge your electronics

Make sure you charge all of your electronics and bring an extra battery pack in case one dies. Pack a power strip so that multiple electronics can be charged at the same time. Having a fully charged laptop is important for long flights or car trips- it will help entertain kids with games, movies, or shows and allow you to relax a bit and enjoy the ride.

2) Get some cash

When traveling abroad it is always a good idea to have some cash on hand in case of emergencies. Cash can also be very helpful on a trip when it comes to tipping, paying for parking, and other cash-only situations you might encounter.

3) Pack toiletries and medications

It is important to remember to check your toiletries and medications before traveling. If you run out of anything, it can be difficult or impossible to find what you need or get a medication refill when you reach your destination. This is also a good opportunity to make sure that nothing has passed its expiration date.

4) Notify your bank of upcoming travel

Notify your bank of upcoming travel before going on vacation and notify them of your return date. You should also ask if there are any transactions that need to be authorized while you’re away and discuss any other account activity with your bank representative.

5) Pack a water bottle

Whether you’re traveling the world or just to the next state over, be sure to pack a water bottle. Hydration is key to good health, so don’t forget to drink water before and during travel. However, make sure your bottle is empty if you’re headed to the airport. Once you’ve made it through airport security, you fill your bottle at a water fountain.

6) Check the weather at your destination

Before you pack, be sure to check the weather at your destination. This will help you pack appropriate clothing, shoes, and outerwear.

7) Don’t forget your passport

Check your passport before traveling to make sure it is up to date and that you have enough blank pages left. You don’t want to be stranded at the airport trying to get a new one issued.

8) Book a professional home cleaning with Simply Maid OK

A final thing to double-check is the condition of your home. Before you leave, schedule a professional cleaning with Simply Maid OK so that when you return, your home will be a fresh and relaxing space to return to.

Our services include residential cleaning services, move-in and move-out cleanings, and more. Our cleaning professionals will be able to answer any questions you may have about how we can help with your specific needs or concerns. We will leave you and your space feeling clean and refreshed. Call us at 1-918-770-6346 or email at info@SimplyMaidOK.com to schedule an appointment today!
