Hello Space Invaders,
I have come to a point where I face a problem. The problem is really sad. The earth is hurting. I think it's because of companies like Clorox, Colgate-Palmolive, SC Johnson and Son.
Are they really hurting the environment? I can't get access to one of the companies ingredients for all of their products. Maybe it's to protect from other companies who want to steal from them?
I did a little research on SC Johnson and Son. They carry the best products around. Fantastik is number one. It cleans well, but I have to wear a mask when I use it because I can feel the product seeping into my lungs (just like how it feels when you've swallowed massive amounts of chlorine water in the swimming pool). It makes me sneeze too.
I really like their products. They are one of the first leading brand cleaning companies to have partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Design for the Environment program in 2005.
To read more about SC Johnson's enviroment crusades and other philanthropic commitments, I give you the link to their website: http://www.scjohnson.com/community/environment.asp#
(They even have hard to find products section).
Ajax has one product that gets rid of the rustic bathtub stain even better than some of the SC Johnson's stuff. It's that powdered devil in a canister, AJAX powder cleanser with bleach. I know this stuff is bad for you but I assure you that it works. I only use it when a person's bathtub was never ever cleaned (move-outs). Colgate-Palmolive company are the giants behind Murphy's Oil, Suavitel fabric softner, and of course Colgate tooth paste and Palmolive dishwashing soap.

In Spanish, when we say bleach, we say "cloro". No, I'm not kidding. Their marketing is one of the best I've seen in a long time. There is a commercial with a little girl in the bathtub going under water and imagining herself as a mermaid. The girl then hears the beckoning of her mother's call to come out of the bathtub. You think it's a Walt Disney commercial, but it's Clorox bleach. It almost makes me want to buy their new line... almost.
Some environmentalist's say bleach is safe to use, some don't. But I use liquid bleach to mop linoleum floors (use a buffer to add shine). It's economic and the real true ingredient in the other cleaning products.

You thought I would mention Comet because I'm Rocket Maid. In a perfect world that would be true but I have not tried the product yet. I'll let you know how that turns out.
I hope this helped all of you space invaders. I've got to re-fuel! see yaaa!

How to treat your rocket maid cleaner
Hello Space Invaders.
Here are 6 etiquette tips to treat a cleaner. First time getting one is tricky so don't worry.
1. When you call, Be nice: It's not you doing the interviewing, she/he is also doing the interviewing. Be sure that you are polite so can get your questions answered. Some cleaning companies are very attached to their cleaners because they are good and it's hard to find them, like any company. If you treat them bad or make theme feel uncomfortable when they are there, they will complain to the owner and you will be out of the loop. If you hire a ronin cleaner, the same will happen.
2. Setting the appointment: It is always best to schedule a cleaning when it is best for you. Weekends are prime for cleaners. Make an appointment a week in advance so you can lock it in. Once you meet the cleaner and feel like you can trust she/he, then you can decide whether or not you can leave them alone during the week with a key.
3. Making the Choice: Certain companies have options. Some charge for changing bed linens, even wiping chrome fixtures. Others charge for grout cleaning. Look for the most basic plan that charges by the number of rooms. No guessing games makes the calculation easy and you won't feel ripped off.
4. Comfort Zone: The face of cleaning is changing. More and more people from all walks of life are getting into the business of organizing and cleaning. The international sect still holds the crown, of course. Now there are college students, former executives, men, women, etc.
People are choosing to do this as a job, which means that you don't have to feel "bad" for hiring someone to clean you apartment. To clean is a skill.
5. Payment: Cash is friend. It's a hand to fist business so cash is king.
Tipping is good if you feel that the cleaner stood longer than usual. But never ever pay under the price intended. It leaves a bad taste.
6. No Racism: You cannot prefer a certain cleaner based on race or ethnic background. If you are a woman and prefer a woman and not a man, then it's understandable. But if you are basing it on race, then don't bother hiring a cleaner. Like I said before, the face of cleaning is changing, but the majority is lead by immigrants so please be tolerant.
I hope this helps you humanoid. Until then, Catch Rocket Maid soon.

Tips for Organizing Your Black Hole
Hello Space Invaders,
Your space is supposed to be sacred and clean. But you can't manage to get things clean, beyond that, you can't help organize your things in order. Here's a tip that works every time: Make time!
( Although there are two distinct views on the meaning of time, but we will assume that I'm talking about Linear time).
1. Time is on your side: make time to say " Hey, I'm a failure..." and plan on the attack. What part of the room does it make you feel like turning the galaxy gun unto yourself? That is where you start.
2. It helps if you remove items from the floor. Your clothes should be put into the hamper. Take it to the Milky Way laundry place so they can wash it for you. Believe it or not, it's cheaper then doing it yourself. No more buying soap. Do it every Tuesday. I dunno' why Tuesday... but do it! I'm your commander!
3. Throw it out! For the love of Luke Skywalker, our lord and savior, throw out that 1997 Rolling Stone mag of Aerosmith's comeback issue. We are a cloned inter-galactic race that cannot be stopped. I can see our ancestor's melting in their freezer-coffin. Throw out everything that you feel you can live without. Donate clothes to a shelter of androids, they need it more than you. Get into the habit of giving. Your reward, a tax-deductable note. Be honest with your self, the planet doesn't need more stuff.
4. Order, not Choas. Once you do #3, you'll see your black hole turning into a far-out galaxy. What is your budget? Jack's world 99 cents store has some amazing organizing tools. You can find storage boxes, shelves, and hangers. They cost between $6- $12 dollars.

Good Day Mates!
Hello Potential Clients and Space Invaders,
My rocket ship is losing some fuel. It's because I'm getting some people who need my help, especially from planet Greenwhich Village. Thanks. Fighting against those pesky aliens called dust and grime really can put a damper on a planet. My biggest weapon of all... White vinegar.
It's not only good for any planet, but it cleans well. It cleans any wood, granite, plastic shelves, and of course, chome fixtures.
I will be leaving tips on how to organize your small but very expensive black holes into your very own personal far-out galaxy.
Etiquette on how to treat a fighter against alien dirt ( either from the rocket maid brigade or some other brigade). Treating your alien dirt fighter can be uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing, but remember, we are trained for this sort of stuff so no worries.
Thanks for reading and will here from me soon.
Gotta go, need to refuel.
