In naming this Cleaning Blog: “A Dang Good Blog" we don’t mean to be presumptuous. It is meant in a lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek way.
“Dang Good” is simply in keeping with our business name. Nevertheless, we seriously hope in time, this blog will well and truly live up to its name.
This Blog is written by Karen Norman. She is Co-Owner of Dang Good Carpet and Furnace Cleaning. To find out more about her, visit our About Page.
In this Dang Good Blog, we will post the following:
As time goes on, our blog categories may change. For example, we have found a strong connection between pets, carpets, and stains. So naturally, Pets as a category is likely to get added very soon.
We hope to make our blog fun and informative and (obviously) Dang Good. We sure hope you will enjoy it. If you have suggestions (polite ones, please), let us know. If it is congruent with what we are about, we will do our best to include the topic.
Feel free to share our Dang Good Blog.
