House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, using an oven cleaner is a great alternative for cleaning your stovetop. Remove any grates and then spray the surface down. Allow the cleaner to sit for about 20 minutes, and then scrub it clean with a damp non-abrasive sponge. Dry and polish it off using a dry microfiber towel, and you’re done.

You can clean your bathroom like a professional by keeping your cleaning tools and products organized and having a cleaning plan or routine. Most cleaning pros start by dusting and sweeping first and applying cleaning solutions. You should let the solutions sit in your bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet, and wipe everything down with fresh cleaning cloths. A final mop gives the finishing touch.

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.

Regular vacuuming, prompt stain treatment, applying protective sprays, and keeping pets off furniture help maintain appearance. Using blinds to shield from direct sunlight prevents fabric fading.
