"Excellent. This was very short notice and Skilled Maids responded immediately. Doris and Maria make a great team -- skllled, focused, good communicators and upbeat all day long. There was more to do in a day than could possibly get done, but they quickly established priorities and accomplished much more than those. The house is clean and sparkling."

"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."

"We have been using Virginia Window Cleaners for 20 years and have had an exceptional experience each time. For the first 10 years, we had the same person clean the windows each year (he has since retired). They are an A+ business from start to finish - beginning with the pleasant and professional service when you call to schedule an appointment, to when the last window is cleaned. They are meticulous in keeping all areas around the windows clean, very thorough in their cleaning of the windows and window sills, will carefully remove and replace screens if needed, clean screens if needed, and always check in with you when the work has been completed. Something else to consider when hiring a company to clean your windows, is the level of trust of having someone in your home for the day or partial day. This company is 100% trustworthy! Can not endorse this company enough!

House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, you should never use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to clean flat paint or paint with any other finish. Isopropyl alcohol works similarly to a paint thinner, so it’s likely to liquify the paint on your walls and leave damaged or bare areas. For stubborn stains, try mixing one cup of vinegar or baking soda into a bucket of warm water and scrubbing very gently with a soft sponge. If the stain or soiling is pervasive, touch up the area by repainting the affected areas.

Whether you need to leave your home after a termite treatment depends on the method used, and your pest control expert will provide specific instructions. For basic treatments like bait stations or traps, you typically don't need to vacate, but you should keep children and pets away from them. If the treatment involves indoor pesticide spraying, you will likely need to leave for three to five hours. For a full fumigation, which involves tenting the house, you must vacate the property for 24 to 72 hours (approximately three days). If you have any concerns, you can consult the National Pesticide Information Center for guidance.

To neutralize mildew smell, you can use natural deodorizers like baking soda or activated charcoal. Baking soda absorbs odors; sprinkle it liberally on the affected area, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up. Activated charcoal, available in pouches, works similarly. Vinegar, with its natural acidic properties, can also neutralize odors. Mix equal parts water and vinegar, spray the affected area lightly, then blot it with a dry cloth. Enzymatic cleaners are effective too, breaking down odor-causing compounds.

Professionals remove dust, allergens, and stains while preserving fabric integrity and enhancing the appearance of window treatments.

You should consider doing a few things on your own that fall under the category of “good house cleaner etiquette” to prepare for your house cleaner. These include tidying counters, floors, and other surfaces, taking care of the dishes, moving laundry to the laundry room or a dedicated laundry basket, and putting away personal and private items. Think of your house cleaner as someone who brings your home from relatively tidy to organized and clean, and you should have no issues.
