Good morning, Wichita! This is the Wichita Life Update, where the only thing spookier than Halloween is not seeing this email in your inbox at 6am (which rarely happens).

Let's get to it!

TOGETHER WITH MARGARET MCHENRY

This fall, borrow the timeless traditions of excellence observed by those in domestic service in Great Britain a century ago. Margaret McHenry Maids offers a heightened level of service and a deep service menu that includes pre- and post-holiday cleaning and expanded en-residence services personalized to your needs and completed by selected, carefully trained maids.

Our traditional deep cleaning is performed in every home every time. Using a comprehensive checklist with 75 points of service attention, we thoroughly maintain your home so you're ready for any occasion and find it easier to slip away to do the things you love
