We Can Clean It News!
Care4Air Awards 2009 nominee!
In June 2009 the We Can Clean It team were nominated for a Care4 Air Award. The event was held at the Kenwood Hotel, Sheffield. The event recognised businesses, schools and individuals who are doing their bit to improve and raise awareness of air quality issues. Companies nominated to name a few were: Very PC and Chesterfield BioGas. The event was hosted by John Mitchell, ITV weatherman. The team had a great night out and travelled to the event on public transport.
April Worrall, We Can Clean It founder said "My team and I always make an effort to travel to customer's homes and businesses using public transport. Infact most days we walk to work and if we can't walk to work then we car share. We respect the cleaning product choices of our customers when cleaning their homes but always explain why cleaning using less toxic products is better for the environment and can be more cost effective on the household budget." Lindsey Wright, Part of the Domestic Cleaning Team added " I really enjoyed the event and got to meet John Mitchell. Since joining the team I have made some important life style changes myself. I only use eco-friendly products in my home and I travel to and from work on the bus."
Raising Money for the British Heart Foundation
This year saw two of the WCCI team cycling around the Peak District for charity. April and Lindsay put on their cycling gear and completed a 29 mile bike ride. The challenge started in Matlock and took them around a beautiful part of the Peak District. Between them they raised £300. April explained that "it was a difficult challenge but one guy kept me going...no it wasn't the guy towing my bike (joke), it was a 76 year old cyclist who spurred us both on. I thought if he could do it then I know I can." Lindsey added, " it was the thought of April buying me a pint at the end that kept me going. We both had a great day and it tested our team working skills. We kept each other motivated and always supported each other and other cyclists along the route." Would they do it again? " Yes, but only after purchasing a softer saddle. Saddles sore..what an understatement!"
Triathlon Attempt 2010
We Can Clean It are in training for another charity event this year to raise lots of dosh for The National Society of Epilepsy. The event will be held in Cheshire, a place April spent many a weekend in her early twenties. We hope to raise at least £300 or more for our chosen charity. The team are doing a relay and Laura is going to attempt the 500metre Swim, the 20km cycle and the 5km Run....."hang on a minute..I thought this was a team effort?" (Laura shouts from a far). Sorry, yes, April will be helping by doing the 20km cycle and Annabel will be doing the 5km run.

Spring Cleaning Tips
The Fridge: Now is the time to empty off the fridge and give it a good clean. Throw out all old food and remember to recycle any glass and plastic containers. Always read the manufacturers instructions for your fridge before cleaning.
Carpet Stains: If you spill coffee, tea or red wine on a carpet, then wash it out straight away. Don't leave it or you will find that the stain will never vanish. Use a cloth to soak up the liquid and then use water to sponge off the stain. Always get advice from a carpet cleaning expert before attempting to wash your carpets.
Now is a great time to declutter tyour home and have a spring clean. Remember to pull out furniture to hoover behind it as dust builds up quickly. Give your bed a good clean too. Hoover the mattress on both sides. If you don't have the time or just don't fancy giving your home a spring clean, then why not give We Can Clean It a call. Check out our prices for one off cleans.
