Cleaning after the Maids

Our crew tackled a big job yesterday at work.  We started cleaning out, vacuuming, and detailing our 13 Maids vans.  I am not sure this has happened the last 8 years we have owned it!  They were horrible - huge stains, money glued into the ashtrays, trash everywhere, tons of extra supplies, and on and on.  Each team of 3 or 4 Maids leave our office each morning, with a trunk of supplies, a cooler for lunch, and whatever else they bring along to tackle their 4-6 houses a day. We have a huge garage that holds 8 of the cars so we pulled them outside and tried an assembly line of 3 cars at a time in the garage.  Caleb & Joshua vacuumed. Ashlyn cleaned the vinyl and plastic. I took out the trunk of supplies and went through everything.  And John cleaned the carpets and detailed everything.  Jonathan helped be the go to guy for moving things from car to car. Man, was it hard work!  The kids were completely black when we left. We did pay them $5/hr for their hard work which really motivated them to keep going.  And after 8 long hours, we finished 8 cars.  So the hope is to finish the last 5 next weekend.  We're excited to see what the Maids think of them on Monday too.  We are looking for a new office now and the hope is to find a bigger location that will allow them to take their supplies out of the car each night onto a shelf.  That way things won't get hidden or left in there that shouldn't be there, especially food. But, we won't know if that is an option until fall. Until then, we hope these cars stay a little cleaner than before :)
