In our line of work, we get to talk with a lot of homeowners. Just like you, they love the way a beautifully-cleaned home looks. They also love the way they feel when they open a door and it’s fresh and naturally clean. They’ll never get tired of looking at sparkling appliances that seem brand new. They like having bright, gleaming floors. They hate dust.

So it’s only natural that they ask us for tips from time to time. Well, as a public service to all our customers and friends, here are some of the best-kept housecleaning secrets we’ve divulged over the years to homeowners like yourself.

Castile soap is a highly-effective, biodegradable, vegetable-based soap. Traditionally made from 100% pure olive oil, it has more household uses than any other substance we can think of. It’s called the Queen of Soaps because the Queen of Castile, Spain, reportedly would use no other cleaner in her royal beauty routine.

Of course, here at Cleaning Maid Beautiful, we’re interested in how it keeps homes naturally clean and germ-free. It’s our favorite product and if it’s fit for a Queen, that sounds about right for our customers, too!

Here are seven reasons to love Castile Soap for keeping your home clean.
