Cleaning Tips

Try this at home!

To remove dried-on food from the inside of the microwave, place a microwave-safe bowl containing 2 cups of warm water inside the microwave. Optionally, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the water. Heat on high for 2-4 minutes, then carefully remove the bowl and wipe the inside of the microwave.

Due to today's economic climate most households find it necessary for both adults to be working, or for single parent families to often be holding more than one job. With children's school activities, errands and house work, there is little time left for relaxation or for spending time with loved ones. Dust Queen has been helping families realize a happier work-life balance for more than twenty years by offering clients superior house cleaning services at reasonable and competitive prices.

A growing number of people have a dream of running their own business in order to have more control over their working hours, as well as a viable means to financial security. Of course, starting your own business from the ground up can involve a tremendous financial risk and requires much more time before realizing an adequate income than most people have. Even with a terrific service or product, prospective business owners must have in place sufficient financial backing, a well researched business plan, and time for the public to get to know and trust the product or service they will be providing.

In 1989, Shelly Barless, founding owner of Dust Queen, took a chance and began a modest home-based business providing home cleaning services for the people in her Edmonton, Alberta community. She knew from the very beginning that if her business were to be successful, customer satisfaction had to be her number one priority. Her clients quickly understood that they could expect their homes to be cleaned perfectly every time, and if there were a problem, it would be redone at no extra cost. Dust Queen still adheres to this promise and offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for some reason your cleaning service is not perfect, you can call the office within 24 hours and Dust Queen will redo the job free of charge.

Dust Queen's policy of treating all their clients with professionalism, honesty and integrity, coupled with their 100% satisfaction guarantee has been the driving force of the company's continued growth over the past twenty years. In fact, Dust Queen has been proud to accept the Consumers' Choice Award for Business Excellence in Edmonton in the category of Maid and Butler Service for the past eight years in a row. They have also been the proud recipients of the Top Choice Award for most referred maid service in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

After twenty years of perfecting and documenting the company's unique cleaning methods and business procedures, Dust Queen is excited to be in a position of offering franchise opportunities to others who share Shelly's dream of becoming independent business owners.
