"I use Extra Green on a bi-weekly schedule to clean my house. I've been working with them for more than a year across 2 locations. In my experience, cleaning services on a long-time retainer can get lazy and eventually cut corners. I have never had that issue with Extra Green. Everything always looks impeccable."

"It wasn't an easy job and they did some work very well. But they weren't interested in learning about the scope of the job beforehand and either couldn't or wouldn't do the full job, which included a kitchen and laundry room that needed a deep cleaning."

"Aracely was so professional in how she approached clients. I don?t have much time during the week to clean my house, when I contacted her, she responded promptly. After some communication, she was able to offer her service, which was phenomenal. My house has never smelled so fresh. 100% recommended !!!"

"All went well. The gentleman who was doing the cleaning arrived on time, reviewed everything that was to be done and updated the quote to reflect the total number of windows involved. I also asked that he clean the window sills. He started the cleaning and completed the work in less than 3 hours. All nicely done."

House Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because the steam can lift stubborn dirt from floors without using chemicals, and it also kills bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops have drawbacks: they are more expensive, require an electrical outlet, and are not suitable for all flooring types, such as laminate or hardwood, which can be damaged by the steam.

Regular mopping can also sanitize floors effectively when done with the right cleaning products and techniques, though it may require more effort. The main advantage of a traditional mop is its versatility, as it can be used on any type of flooring. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your floor type, budget, and cleaning preferences.

Prepare to leave your home for a long absence by making sure small appliances and electronic devices are unplugged. You should also shut valves to your sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine. Set your thermostat closer to outside temperatures or a minimum of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, stop your mail (or have someone pick it up), and put at least one light on a timer.

To find the best house cleaner to keep your place pristine while freeing up your time, ask for word-of-mouth recommendations and check online reviews. Arrange background checks for any housekeeper you’re considering hiring and ensure they have appropriate bonds and insurance. It's also worth interviewing the company or individual cleaner and outlining expectations.

Services include ash removal, chimney cleaning, gasket checks, and inspection of cracks or damage.

The time it takes to pack any kitchen depends on its size and how organized the space is. A kitchenette in a tiny abode could take 4 to 8 hours, including decluttering. However, a standard or much larger kitchen can take a full day or longer, depending on the number of items, including appliances you own.
