House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Many housekeepers offer move-out cleaning services. However, your housekeeper is likely to charge a higher rate for this service since move-outs typically require more extensive deep cleaning than a standard housekeeping service.

Estate cleanout services aren’t typically priced per square foot, although you can often expect costs to increase along with the square footage of a property. The real factor at play is the number of items that need to be handled. More items, especially bulky items, mean higher costs, and larger homes tend to hold more items.

Cash is typically preferred for a tip, especially for smaller companies and housecleaners, but many now accept check, credit, or payments through Venmo and Apply Pay. If you’re unsure, check with your cleaning company prior to their first visit in case you need to make a quick trip to the bank.

The best cleaner to remove soot depends on the surface material and the type of fire, but consider dish soaps or degreasers, baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and hydrogen. Low-oxygen fires often leave behind greasy soot, which is best removed with dish soaps or degreasers. Baking soda can be useful for absorbing soot deposits from carpets, followed by rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean the set-in stains.

Clean baseboards about once a month alongside the rest of your monthly home cleaning checklist. Dust likes to tumble from the ceilings, walls, and drapes to the floor but often gets caught on the baseboard on its way down. Remove loose dust at least once a month and give it a deeper scrub during your annual spring cleaning.
