"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."

"We have used Vania's business for almost 4 years now, I believe. Her teams of two ladies are friendly, efficient, respectful of our needs, and do a good job. This is not highly detailed nor deep cleaning, just regular, maintenance cleaning, but they do also offer services like cleaning our the refrigerator - we just haven't done that ourselves. The team has been pretty consistent, too, not a revolving door of women as with some businesses. The teams' English is minimal, but usually enough to communicate when they are here, and if there is anything more complicated to convey, I can text Vania and she will pass the message along to the crew. Vania herself is excellent - she is very responsive and great to work with. When a team member broke a small bowl I had on my vanity, she came to our house (after scheduling a time) to apologize in person and to ask for general feedback as to how the ladies were doing. I really appreciated that. Of course she also offered for us to take the price of the bowl out of their fee for that visit. Overall, I would highly recommend Vania's Extra Green. They are easy to work with, reasonably priced, and keep our house looking good (even during a pandemic)."

"Ana and her team were on time for my cleaning service. They were thorough and cleaned very well. They dusted everywhere. My house was clean from top to bottom, all 3 floors. They were very professional and finished in a shorter amount of time than allotted."

House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You will need to discuss with your pest control expert to know when and what to clean after the treatment. Sometimes, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for deep cleaning to avoid wiping up the treatment they applied.

However, you’ll want to wipe down any surfaces you use for food prep and eating. Before the treatment, you’ll also want to make sure that items such as pet dishes and children's toys won’t be exposed to the chemicals.

While you don’t have to have a spotless home for your maid service visit, preparing for a housekeeper makes their visit as efficient as possible. First, if you have pets, ensure they are in a secure location. Your maid service will most likely be coming in and out of your home, and you don’t want the potential of a lost pet. 

Placing your valuables and fragile items away in a secure location is also a great way to prepare for your visit. Additionally, decluttering your floors and counters can help make your visit as organized as possible.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.

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.

When hiring a housekeeper, prioritize candidates with proven experience and solid references. Look for background checks and ask for proof of insurance or bonding to protect your home. Discuss their cleaning process, the supplies they use, and whether they have any specialized training for surfaces like marble or hardwood. These steps help ensure your housekeeper is both skilled and trustworthy.
