The Maids Home Services introduces the Rozeff-Bryant Family



Many families travel far from home to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. The treatment may last a day, a month, or even longer. It's a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family. The Ronald McDonald House offers families a way to stay together, in proximity to the treatment hospital, and be comfortable and cared for during their stay. One such family is the Rozeff-Bryant family. Tim was able to return to work after Kelton was born, returning every night to their home away from home at the Ronald McDonald House. The House made it possible for Anita to spend the maximum amount of time with Kelton and it allowed them to connect with other families in similar situations which made it easier to cope. One of the highlights of their stay was Thanksgiving dinner cooked by volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House.

Most of the guests at The Ronald McDonald House have weakened immune systems so it is very important for the house to be especially clean. The Maids is proud to donate monthly cleaning at The Ronald McDonald House and are pleased to be there for the families when they need it the most! We love what we do and are happy to share our passion!

Unique Cleaning Tips from The Maids


During the last fourteen years that The Maids has been servicing the greater Portland area,the Maids has received many unique inquiries about cleaning tips that we would like to share with you:
1.) How do you get rid of ants? To keep ants out of the house, find where the ants are entering and sprinkle a " barrier " of cinnamon or any type of ground pepper to block their way. The spices are too hot for the ants to cross.
2.) How do I get rid of bathroom odors? To repel bathroom odors, place a shallow dish of baking soda behind the toilet to absorb odors.
3.)How do I keep my chimney clean? To keep your chimney clean, throw a handful of salt on the fire.
4) Is there a good way to eliminate fish or other spoiled food odors? Yes- simply place a bowl of white vinegar on the counter for a few hours. The odor will disappear for good.
5.)Do you know of a way to keep my kitty litter smelling fresh? To keep kitty litter fresh smelling, mix baby powder in with the litter.
6.)HELP! I need to find a way to get rid of paint on my carpet. Any thoughts? Spray with windex and wipe clean.
7.) How can I remove stickers/decals and glue from things? My two year old has been very active decorating! To remove them from furniture,glass,plastic, etc. saturate with vegetable oil and rub off.
