<title>Protect Your Home from Un-Insured House Cleaners</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Many house cleaning companies are not insured because of the high cost of liability insurance.&nbsp; You could be at risk for both injuries and property damage.&nbsp; Beware of a house cleaning company whose rates are unusually low.</p>
<p><strong>How to Ensure Your House Cleaner is Insured<br /></strong>It's easy to get proof of insurance by simply asking the house cleaning service to have their insurance company fax or mail you a copy of their certificate of insurance.&nbsp; The insurance company is required to notify you if the house cleaning company's insurance policy is ever cancelled.</p>
<p>The Certificate of Liability Insurance will list you as the certificate holder.&nbsp; It will also list the name of the insurance broker, the insurance company, and the name of the cleaning company that is insured.</p>
<p>A house cleaning company may offer a photocopy of their insurance policy as proof of insurance.&nbsp; Always follow up with the insurance company as there's no way for you to know whether the policy is current.&nbsp; The policy could have been cancelled the day after it was issued.&nbsp; Without proof of insurance directly from the insurance company you could be paying the rate of a house cleaning company with insurance while unknowingly putting yourself at risk every time the house cleaner is on your property.</p>
<p><strong>Your Protection and Peace of Mind<br /></strong>A cleaning company without liability insurance coverage may also lack L &amp; I coverage and may not be paying federal taxes for their employees.&nbsp; You could be held liable for back taxes and payments to the government as if you were hiring your own employees.</p>
<p>Every reputable cleaning company will be happy to provide proof of insurance.&nbsp; Enjoy peace of mind every time your home is cleaned by Zia Clean.&nbsp; We carry all current insurance and will be happy to have our insurance company fax proof to you.</p>]]></description>

<title>OOPS! How to Remove Common Stains this Thanksgiving </title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Don't spend Thanksgiving following your family around with paper towels and coasters. Post these clean-up tips on your fridge, and you'll be able to handle any holiday stain, spill, and snafu!</p>
<p><strong>Red Wine</strong> Blot the stain dry. Then mix 1 tsp. soap with 1 c. hydrogen&nbsp; peroxide, and blot the stain with a sponge soaked with this mixture. Blot with warm water, then blot dry.</p>
<p><strong>Cranberry Sauce</strong> Rinse with cold water and pre-treat the stain with a stain removing solution. Put the fabric through a regular wash cycle, but before you dry, check to see that the stain is removed. If not, repeat the steps before drying.</p>
<p><strong>Lipstick on Napkins</strong> Use paper napkins. Just kidding. If you use cloth napkins, blot out the stain with nail polish remover, then wash with detergent and rinse.</p>
<p><strong>Oil Stains</strong> Time is a factor here. Immediately cover the stain with cornstarch for an hour. This will absorb the oil. Then soak the fabric in a mixture of hot water and dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and run through the regular wash cycle.</p>
<p><strong>Tabletop Ring Marks</strong> Dissolve the stain by wiping with a damp cloth, then apply a non-gel toothpaste to the ring. Wipe dry.</p>
<p>If you need a cleaning before or after Thanksgiving give us a call to set up an appointment!</p>]]></description>
