"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."

"Highly recommend Ayoub, which cleaned two (2) rugs. Company was very professional in contacting via email and phone. On time service; Jamie & Alex were friendly yet professional. Moved furniture as needed and checked to ensure we were satisfied."
Professional rug cleaning - a runner saturated with dog urine. Pet issues are our client's most common concern when sending their rugs out for a professional cleaning.
New carpet!

"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 questions, answered by experts

DIY cleanup is not recommended due to hazardous soot, odors, and potential structural issues.

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.

Unless it’s written into the purchase agreement, there’s no legal obligation that a house you’ve bought has to be clean before you move in. The previous owner is generally required to sweep the house, but that doesn’t guarantee everything will be spotless upon your arrival. If possible, discuss the cleaning requirements with the real estate company before moving in.

The formula for neutralizing skunk smell is one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda, and one to two teaspoons of dish soap. The University of Nebraska says a chemist discovered that this mixture changes the thiols, the chemical compound that causes the odor, into acids that don’t carry a skunk smell, thus eliminating the odor.

Your schedule for deep cleaning will depend on how often you clean regularly and how dirty your home gets. If you clean weekly and keep things tidy, you may only need to deep clean once a year. But if you don’t keep up with regular cleaning or have pets that drag in mud and shed all over the house, you might need deep cleaning two or three times a year.
