"Robin and Dominic were on time, and did an awesome job cleaning up the apartment. I would hire and hope to hire them again to clean another place we have. They are pros, and know the cleaning business. I highly recommend them."
"The Alta Gama ladies were at my house for 8 hours and did an excellent job! They were able to thoroughly clean my large glass shower doors which is difficult due to years of buildup from our well water. They also cleaned every surface that I asked them to clean. My house looks great! I definitely would hire them again."
Professional carpet cleaning can cause mold if the job is not done properly. There are two ways this can happen—if your carpet cleaner fails to dry the carpet properly, or if your carpet cleaner uses an excessive amount of water during the cleaning process. Mold can grow wherever moisture is present, so make sure you hire a pro who knows the process inside and out.
No, house cleaners or cleaning services do not need to be certified or licensed. Each state has its own requirements for licensing and certifications for companies, but most states don't require any special training to clean a home. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local guidelines for house cleaners and cleaning services.
It might be possible to wash your couch upholstery, but we don’t recommend it. Couches labeled with a “W” or “W/S” on the tag might be okay to wash gently with a couch cleaner or a homemade couch cleaning solution, but you have to be very careful not to get the padding underneath wet, as it will deteriorate and potentially ruin your couch. You should hire a professional upholstery cleaner to guarantee a safe, deep clean for your favorite furniture items.
Steam and vinegar are excellent cleaners, but it’s best not to put vinegar in your steam cleaner unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. If you don’t dilute the vinegar properly, it can damage the steam cleaner, and using a non-approved cleaning solution in the machine can void the manufacturer’s warranty.
It is worth it to clean a mattress regularly for several reasons. For one, you'll increase the usable life span of the mattress, saving you from buying new mattresses as frequently. You'll also improve your home's indoor air quality and reduce odors and bacteria, both of which can positively impact the health of your household.
