“My wife and I have had several people over the years come in as cleaners. While they all seem to do an ‘okay’ job, Angela and her team did a more thorough job than anyone we have had in the past. She also took the time to put not just clean but also organize—my son’s room has never been so orderly! We would recommend her service to anyone looking for a great cleaning job at a more than fair price.”
“This cleaning service is amazing! We did a move in/move out special and the cleaner did an exceptional job! I highly recommend them!”
“My realtor recommended Rise-N-Shine to me, and I am so glad he did! Angela is so friendly and quick to reply to emails. Setting up the cleaning was simple. When I got home that night, I couldn’t believe my eyes! The team did such an incredible job, my condo was sparkling! I will certainly use Rise-N-Shine again and recommend them to anyone looking for a fast, reliable and wonderful cleaning service. Thank you!”
“I do appreciate coming home from work to find a clean and lovely home waiting for us! Appreciative!”
“Angela did a wonderful job cleaning my apartment for the first time. Beyond that she went above and beyond expectations by washing the dirty dishes in my kitchen which wasn’t part of the provided service. Not only did she do a good job on the cleaning but also provided me with excellent customer service.”
“I have used Angela and her team numerous times. They are awesome, reliable, do an amazing job and I would recommend them to everyone.”
“Thank you for taking care of our house like it is your own. We will certainly be calling you again in the future. You’re a true professional and a wonderful lady!”
“I am so thankful for and impressed with the job done at my apartment!! It is spotless and looks AMAZING. I will definitely continue to use Rise and Shine and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a cleaning company! Thank you, Angela for your patience and awesome customer service!”
“We had never used a cleaning service before, so we had Angela give our house a deep cleaning and she did an amazing job! She made the whole place sparkle! The best part was that she checked in with me a few days later to make sure that I was still happy with her services! She is such a joy to work with!”
“My mom recently had pneumonia and just didn’t have the energy to clean, especially after the holidays. Mom really needed to rest but is a fussy senior who loves a clean house. My sister and I told her to rest and we’d handle it! We called Rise N Shine and they did such a fantastic job my ‘fussy mom’ was incredibly happy. And we’re happy to say she’s on the mend because she FINALLY listened to us kids and chilled out. We will definitely use Rise N Shine again!”
“Angela and her crew are wonderful and so easy to work with. My house looked amazing and they paid such great attention to the details!”
“Thanks Angela for promptly sending someone to my home to assist with my housekeeping needs and she did a good job. I will definitely be calling you in the future and am extremely satisfied.”
Easy Crafts for Kids
/byPlanning crafts for the summertime with your kids can be difficult when you’re a little short on ideas… so we’ve written this blog to inspire you a bit!
-Make homemade birdhouses!
Buy the houses here.
and decorate them by gluing on some tissue paper pieces, buttons, sequins, and anything else you can think of!
-Get out the tie-dye kit!
Get creative and do more than shirts, like canvas tote bags, scrunchies, or a tablecloth.
-Make beautiful pasta necklaces.
Buy some assorted kinds of pasta and some yarn, and get creating! After (or before) you assemble the necklaces, get out some paints and make the pasta pieces colorful.
-Make dreamy paper lanterns!
You’ll need two sheets of colored paper, scissors, a pencil, and a stapler. Begin by cutting two strips down the long side of one of the sheets, and set them aside. Next, fold the second sheet of paper in half to form a long and skinny rectangle.
Draw pencil marks as a guide, and invite the kiddos over to cut along the lines with scissors. Be sure not to cut all the way to the edge of the paper, leaving about an inch at the end.
Open it up, and roll it to connect both of the ends. Staple into place. Roll up the first sheet of paper and insert it into the lantern. Staple into place. Use the strips of paper you first cut off to decorate your lanterns, if desired. Hang your paper lanterns from the ceiling to make a pretty new decoration!
-Make stained glass jars.
Gather your glass jars and pass them out! Then, cut up multi-colored tissue paper into one-to-two-inch pieces. Use Mod-Podge or paste to glue these onto the inside of each glass jar. Once dried, place tea light candles inside the jars and watch the colors glow!

Organizing Your Pantry
/byMaximize your pantry space by organizing it into zones and sections. That way it’s easy to find things! See below for our guide to doing so:
-Start by deciding sections that you’ll divide everything into.
Everyone is different, but here a few ideas to start with:
-Baking supplies (like flour)
-Cooking supplies (like olive oil)
-Dry goods (like pasta)
-Snacks
-Condiments that don’t need refrigeration or haven’t been opened yet
-Broths or canned soups
-Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate!!
Purchasing storage containers for this makes it much easier! For example, when your rice is running low, add the new bag to the container.
-Buy helpful tools, like shelves or racks.
Go on Amazon and go crazy! Buy a spice rack that fits in your space, and you’ll be amazed how much easier it is to find things.
-Put away things that you only eat seasonally or at certain holidays.
Make sure your pantry is stocked with things that you eat on a daily/weekly basis. If you only use pumpkin puree in the fall/winter, store it away somewhere else for the rest of the year!
-Organize your pantry in a way that works for you.
The internet is full of products and methods for organizing your pantry. Try to focus on what you need to organize, and what your space looks like!
Before you reorganize, let us clean your kitchen and home top-to-bottom! Give us a call (404-913-6699) or a get quote online here.
Gardening Tips for Spring
/byAre you in full springtime gardening mode, cleaning out your flower beds, trimming your hedges, and planning out new planting areas? We’ve got some great gardening tips to help you!
-Do a thorough spring cleanup/fixup.
Level out stepping stones, clean out your gutters, fix fences, clean plant debris out of your garden beds, fix window boxes, and so on.
-Plant for all seasons!
While it’s easy to be drawn to all of the beautiful spring flowers at your local garden center because they’re sure to have all of their azaleas, hydrangeas, snapdragons, and more out this time of year! But it’s important to plan for the rest of the year. If you’ve started a new flower bed, choose different kinds of shrubs as a backdrop that will be alive year-round. Plant (along with your favorite spring flowers) seasonal annual flowers like mums and impatiens for yearlong color!
-Don’t forget fragrant flowers and aromatics.
It’s easy to get preoccupied with flowers and plants that are pleasing to the eye, but don’t forget to plant some that are pleasing to the nose in addition! Bonus: many aromatic flowers are pest repellents! Choose plants like basil, lavender, rosemary, chamomile, and more.
-Add a cutting garden to your yard!
You spend a lot of time and money on making your garden(s) perfect, so why not bring your garden inside as well! Incorporate prolific bloomers that are great for cutting and
placing in vases to enjoy indoors all day long.
-Use sheets or towels to cover your flower beds/gardens if need be.
Spring frosts and freezes are still a possibility this time of year, and you don’t want to lose your progress! Keep an eye on the forecast and cover your garden with some old towels or sheets if necessary.
