My time to relax

Finding time to relax is sometimes very difficult as it often feels that life just does not stand still. What with all the commitments that our modern lives throws at us such as the kids, work and running a home it's a wonder that we have time to do anything. A I was so very busy I needed to find more time and getting a cleaner seemed the perfect solution with the added bonus of not having to do the housework.

However when I needed a cleaner I soon realized how hard it was to find good reliable domestic help and DKM Domestic services became a reality as a result of my own personal experiences. Setting up and running a small business is hard enough but I have been fortunate enough to surround myself with a fantastic team of experts as well as the unwavering support of friends and family.
We can all clean but the business of cleaning is not as easy as some might think as it requires knowledge, skill and understanding. My aim is to produce results that far exceed the expectations of our customers and to make each customer feel valued as individuals. This blog was suggested to me as a way to relax at work. A place that I can think, store and develop my thoughts and ideas and continue to make improvements with running my business. It is here we discuss the subject of cleaning in general which I hope you will find both helpful and useful.

dkm cleaning website

Developing a business in the modern world does require a huge amout of new skils that I just did not have the time to learn. I mean just setting up a business and with the day to day running it is hard enough but having to learn web design, marketing, accounts and payroll to list but a few made my head spin but having a web-site is paramount in the modern business world and fortunately I knew just the person to ask about getting a web site presence.

I know an artist who has developed his own
website as well as helping others with their's. Mark is a fantastic artist whoes work I greatly admire as it is very unusual.After seeing his website http://www.mjo-art.com/ I knew he had all the skills and tools necessary to creat really fantastic looking websites.With this in mind we asked him if he would design ours. I think the results speak for themselves. We feel not only is it very visually pleasing to look at it is also very professional and he was able to do it at a very reasonable price. http://www.dkm-cleaning.co.uk Please take the time to have a look at it and I think you would also agree what a spectacular website it is. If you feel Mark could help you with designing your website please feel free to contact him which you can do throug his website or just email him on emancipated1@hotmail.co.uk .

The numerous benefits of having a cleaner

I recently was reviewing some of the testimonials that we have received and was struck by this particular one as is highlighted some of the very real and positive benefits of the services that we offer. Mark is a busy man with 2 kids who has a number of small business interests and very little time to keep pace with every thing he has going on in his life. This is what he had to say about why having a cleaner is such a good thing in his life.

"I have a cleaner who does two hours each Friday, the house is cleaner and tidier which helps me to keep it that way with much less effort and as a result I am able to save up to five hours of my valuable time each week. whenever I walk in I feel relaxed and happy. The house always looks fantastic and smells great. Its the little details that delight me the most. I also found that getting in a cleaner has really surprised me in a number of different ways that I had not expected not only is this an efficient use of my time allowing me to pursue other interests but I also feel it promotes good health, reduces stress, saves money and promotes a relaxed lifestyle"

Mark has raised a number of benefits in his testimonial but here are a few more some of which you may not have thought of.
  • Gives you time to pamper yourself
  • Save money on cleaning products
  • Creates good lasting habits
  • Promotes motivation,self esteem, personal confidence
  • Reduces dust [ a must for people with breathing difficulties]
  • Promotes good time management
  • Allows you to be in control of the housework
  • Having a cleaner helps you feel supported with the housework
  • Frees up your time for family and friends
  • Allows you to pursue other interests and hobbies
  • Cost affective
  • A cleaner environment always impresses quests and visitors
  • and lastly makes you feel happier and more content

We think that these numerous positive benefits far outstrip the physical cost of having a cleaner which allows us the opportunity to help far more people like Mark save time,money and hassle in their daily lives.
