The Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce’s new event, the Cedar Creek Lake Fall Business Expo, held last Saturday at Mabank Pavilion, featured approximately 40 vendors, ranging from small businesses to non-profits. Even with a light turnout from the public, the vendors were able to conduct excellent business to business networking and by all accounts, the inaugural event was a success. If you were to read this piece here, you’d know what strategies they implemented to maximise their marketing efforts and at the same time, minimise costs. Cleanliness is next to godliness? Maybe not, but let’s look at the benefits to hiring a cleaning service. Why have a clean home? What do first think of when you know the house has to be cleaned? Were to begin? How long will it take? Are you motivated to clean? Why should you go to the trouble and expense of keeping things clean? Do you have a regular cleaning routine? The fact is, bacteria and dust thrive in the house when not cleaned regularly. There are places in the home where cleanliness is critical for good health, like the bathroom and kitchen. The way your home looks could even affect your mental attitude. It is beneficial to keep your home as clean as possible. Dust and vacuum rugs and upholstery regularly. For children with asthma, dust, mold and pet dandruff can trigger asthma attacks and allergies. Reduce your use of aerosol sprays indoors. Try green cleaning products. Why not make a cleaning checklist? If you feel that you are too busy to stay on top of it or do not have the motivation to do is you need to contact a cleaning services company. There are numerous ones in every city that will be more than happy to do it for you at an affordable price. A Clean Home-Weekly Checklist By following a weekly clean up check list, not only will you benefit from a clean healthy home, cleaning will not be such a lengthy never ending task. I personally use and stick to this weekly checklist, and it works wonders for my home. You can get more detail about Upholstery Cleaning Montreal through this site https://www.carpetcleaningmontreal.org/upholstery-cleaning.html. The simple answer is carpet cleaner rental. To hire carpet cleaner professionals is an expensive job and has in the past been limited to businesses and people moving into their new home. Carpet cleaner rental is the most cost effective way to get those carpets clean and fresh. More and more people are trying the rent carpet cleaner packages on offer and their repeat business shows how effective the results can be. Best of all, the price is terrific. A carpet cleaners rental can be for one day or a weekend. During the time you rent carpet cleaner machinery, you can do as many rooms as possible. Rooms can be tackled more than once if there are particularly stubborn stains or several people could share the costs and share the rental price. Apart from the obvious benefits with regards to germs and allergens, when you hire carpet cleaner machines or a service similar to this slough carpet cleaning company, you will be giving your carpets a lovely deep clean. This will bring about a freshness and softness to the carpets that wiCleaning the house is something the majority of the nation does regularly. There are different levels of cleaning, but washing down the work surfaces and giving the rooms a vacuum is a daily task. Working people have to find time to do the housework with their busy professional lives and stay at home parents will find they are permanently cleaning up chaos and mess. If the housework is not kept on top of, grime and germs can build up quickly and spread throughout the home So housework is a part of life that cannot be neglected. As Platinum Carpet Cleaning announced they provide the best carpet cleaning services.

According to CCLACC President, Jo Ann Hanstrom, plans are already under way for the 2014 Business Expo. Asked about future plans for the event, Hanstrom said, “With the first Expo behind us, the committee will be able to do a thorough assessment of the event, make adjustments and/or improvements where necessary. I’m excited that we’ll be bringing the Second Annual Cedar Creek Lake Fall Business Expo to the community next October.”

She went on to say that even though the chamber had sponsored such an event some years ago, this is a whole new venue and format, so it was like starting over and will need to rebuild. Having a new venue has greatly benefitted the attending businesses, giving them more room for their displays, trade show banner materials, and other booth marketing entities. Hanstrom said, “I’m pleased that the chamber of commerce was able to reformat our fall fund-raising event and bring a totally business-related venue back to the community.” Continue reading “CCL Area Chamber Business Expo a success”
