mental health



The main goal of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness about mental health disorders and reduce stigma surrounding them. One way that this is accomplished each year is through an annual theme that focuses on a particular aspect of mental health treatment or intervention. For example, this year's theme focuses on Make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority.







Did you know that today, 10th October is World Mental Health Day? If you didn't, then hopefully you'll find this blog post useful. Today is a day when we should come together as a society and discuss mental health issues more openly. That's why I've come up with 10 facts you may not know regarding mental health.


Have you ever thought about how your mental health affects the rest of your body? How do depression, anxiety and other mental health problems affect the physical make up of your body? By looking at the link between mental health and physical health, it could help us learn how to improve our overall wellbeing.



Here are 10 things you should know about mental health:


1. Mental illness affects one in four people worldwide.


2. Mental disorders often start at a young age; half of all lifetime cases start by age 14, and three-quarters by age 24.


3. Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting 3 percent of the global population. Suicide rates are also high: 800,000 people commit suicide every year — that's one person every 40 seconds. The majority of suicides (90 percent) occur in low- and middle-income countries.


4. Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent among women (18 percent), with PTSD being more common among men (10 percent). In both genders, anxiety disorders often begin during adolescence or early adulthood and can continue through adulthood.


5. It's important to be aware of the signs of mental illness in others and in yourself


6. Most people with mental illness get better over time with treatment and support from family and friends


7. There is no shame in having a mental illness or being treated for one


8. There is a need for better understanding of the causes of mental illness; early identification, prevention and treatment; and rehabilitation services for those living with mental ill-health or recovering from it


9. Mental health problems affect us all


10. Mental health is just as important as physical health; both require attention and investment if we want to see real change in society



mental health awayness

This is a subject that is very close to my heart and I think people shouldn't be scared or ashamed to speak out. I hope you find this blog a little bit interesting and informative on this subject I think is still taboo.

Remember

The key to achieving successful management of your emotional and mental health is to remember that you are not alone. Support can come from many different sources, including family members, friends, healthcare professionals, and religious counselling. If you or someone you know is looking for support in managing their mental and emotional health, contact the World Mental Health Day website (www.wfmhday.org) for more information or resources in your area. Help is waiting.

airbnb cleaning services

With the airbnb business so popular at this point in time and is growing with average prices of £100-£115 a nite and are rising it's understandable why so many people are choosing to do this.


Here are just some case studies from the North East.


The North East represented one of the highest domestic travel regions in the UK – with 51 percent of travellers from this region using Airbnb to travel within the UK.

This helped generate an additional £8 million income for local households, across 2,700

active listings, with guests spending approximately £31 million over the year. Although areas such as Newcastle and Middlesbrough remain popular, guests were also travelling to coastal towns and to visit sites such as Hadrian’s Wall.


Ageless Travel

15% of guest arrivals stayed with senior hosts

28% of guest arrivals stayed with hosts aged

between 18 and 35



Quick Facts

We have been offering our cleaning services for some time now but only recently started focusing on Airbnb properties. After seeing how much demand there was for this type of service we decided to start working exclusively with these types of clients.


We are a cleaning company who pride ourselves on being able to provide a high quality and reliable service at an affordable price. We have worked hard over the year to build up a solid reputation within the local community and this and this shows.

With more and more people using airbnb services and with us being a seaside resort here are some statistics for this year.


These trending UK seaside destinations highlight that some Brits are opting to spend their summers at seaside resorts across the country, soaking up the heatwave on home soil and swapping far flung destinations for the nostalgic pleasures of fish and chips, rock pooling and ice cream vans.

With the school holidays over and kids back to school and our lives about to get busier than normal. It's time to make sure you are prepared for the busy term.

Here are some tips to help you get ready for the upcoming school year:


1. Get your kids back into a routine - it can be hard sometimes but it is so important for them to get back into their normal schedule.


2. Plan ahead - this is especially important if you have more than one child going back to school, having a plan will save you from stress and chaos later on down the track.


3. Write out what each child needs for the first few days of school, this will help them know exactly what they need in their bags and where everything is located when they arrive at school.


4. Take a look at their uniform so that nothing is missing or has been forgotten from home, it's also good to check that all buttons are buttoned up correctly as well as ties etc...

We are delighted to join one of our clients on their adventure as they start their airbnb business and they have asked CE Domestic Cleaning Services if we would take care of the cleaning side of their amazing properties they have in Tynemouth.

We are very excited about this project, which will see us working with one of our favourite clients, who we have worked for for a number of years.


The client has two properties in Tynemouth. Both are located within walking distance from the beach, making them perfect for a family holiday or romantic getaway. The houses are modern but with an old-fashioned charm that makes them feel like home from home. Each property has two - three bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen with all modern conveniences including dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. They also have central heating so no matter what time of year it is there is always somewhere warm to curl up on those chilly nights!


This is an amazing and exciting times for us and the clients we are working with on their journey.


This is just one of the cleaning services we offer to our clients. This is one of the new services we are providing with hopefully more on the way to expand CE Domestic Cleaning Services to offer everything under one company.

If you've ever considered hiring a professional cleaning service, you might be a little nervous. After all, it's easy to imagine that the person coming into your home will be someone you don't know—and that could be scary.


But here at CE Domestic Cleaning Services, we think that's just silly! We're not just another cleaning company; we're your friends and neighbour's who just happen to have a passion for making your home sparkle. And we're so sure about our work that we offer our clients an ironclad guarantee: if you're not happy with our service or feel like we fell short in any way, we'll make it up to you! We don't want any unhappy customers—we want 100% satisfaction from every single one of our clients.


So how do we do it? By visiting every house personally before starting any cleaning, so that we can learn more about what makes each client unique and tailor our services accordingly. Then, once the work is done and the clients are satisfied, they leave us testimonials on Google+ and Facebook. Here's just one example:


Gill has been doing my cleaning for about 5 years now and the standard of cleaning, thoughtfulness and customer care is unparalleled. Gill and the girls really go the extra mile to make coming home to a clean and tidy house an uplifting experience. My life is significantly better for their service and I can’t recommend highly enough. Worth every penny. Thanks Gill and the team!

Feel free to get in-touch to find out more.

family




Just recently people have been asking what does CE stand for and a few people thought it stood for cleaning excellence. No in-fact it stands for Charlotte and Ellie which are my daughters names as family means everything to me.💕

When I was first starting my cleaning business, I wanted to have a name that meant something special to me. And as a parent, nothing means more than the people you love. So, I named the business after my two daughters.


I'm a big believer in family and community, so I wanted to make sure that my company reflected that. When people see my business name they know immediately that it stands for something personal to me.


I hope this helps you understand about our cleaning services and where the name came from!

family life






You know what's great about the kids holidays?


You get to spend more time with your family doing the things that are important, and less time cleaning.


But you also have a lot of stuff to do during this time, and if you're not careful, you'll end up spending more time on housework than you would like.


And that's why we want to tell you about the benefits of hiring a domestic cleaner—so that you can get more done in less time!


Domestic cleaning services are available all over the country, and they are easy to find. You can even hire one on an hourly basis or for regular weekly or monthly bookings.


Cleaners will come round whenever suits you best (no need to be home!) and do all the work that needs doing—from vacuuming and mopping floors, to dusting surfaces and polishing furniture.


We are so much more than just a cleaning company.

It has never been more import especially now more than ever to spend as much time with your family as you can.


Most cleaners charge by the hour at around £15-£20 per hour. But this is still much cheaper than paying someone else to clean for you! And it means that when your kids come home from school, instead of rushing around trying to keep up with everything else on your list (and running out of time),


What if I told you that there was an easier way? What if there was a way that you could get your house cleaned while spending more time with your kids?


Well, now there is! CE Domestic Cleaning Services can offer you a range of services including:


- Regular cleaning once or twice a week


- One off cleans before guests arrive or after they leave


- Deep cleaning once in a while to give your house an extra spring clean



If you would like to chat about how we could help or the services we provide we would love to hear from you.

team work








It's hard to believe that it's been 7 months since we first opened our doors. In that time, we've grown faster than we ever could have imagined, and we're proud of every single customer we've had—we're so grateful for the opportunity to help people make their lives easier.


We've learned a lot in this business, but one thing is clear: people want a way to be able to affordably clean their homes without having to put in the time or effort. That's why we built CE Domestic Cleaning Services so that people can have access to affordable domestic cleaning services without sacrificing quality.


With our amazing cleaning team growing bigger, I would just like to thank them. I would like to thank especially thank my original two girls who started this journey with me and took the gamble🎰to come with me.💕


We're looking forward to seeing where this journey takes us next!


We would love for you to follow our cleaning company.

📣 How to clean your smelly trainers. 📣



cleaning tips for dirty shoes



I know some people may disagree with this method but it has always worked for me and my trainers all look sparkly and brand new, plus they will last you so much longer


It is simply a low wash and spin cycle, with a liquid laundry detergent with a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda mixed in. The bicarbonate brightens and will remove odours


If you can use a laundry bag or pop them in a pillow case and after washing run a quick rinse with some white vinegar


Stuff with newspaper and air dry
