House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Your contractor should do routine rough cleanups throughout the construction process, but you should schedule a dedicated house cleaning service to come in a day or two after the construction is complete. This will provide enough time for dust and debris to settle after the construction and will get your home move-in ready as quickly as possible after the work is done. If you schedule ahead of time, be sure to keep in contact with your contractor to make sure there won’t be any delays.

Baking soda can take between 15 minutes and a few hours to deodorize a refrigerator or other area. Baking soda acts as a pH neutralizer for the acidic nature of smells. Placing an open box of baking soda in your refrigerator can help keep smells at bay.

Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don’t have a cat or don’t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms.

Typically, professional organizers do not provide cleaning services like vacuuming or dusting. Their primary role is to declutter your home by rearranging items, maximizing storage space, and helping you decide what to discard. However, some larger companies that offer professional organizing may also provide home cleaning services, and hiring a company for both can be more economical. Hiring an organizer is a helpful way to reset and tidy your house, making it easier to stay on top of cleaning in the future. You can also hire a local cleaner to come in after the organizing is complete.

Whether your carpet cleaner is self-employed or not doesn’t need to play a major factor in tipping. Some larger cleaning companies prefer you don’t tip their employees, but if the cleaner is self-employed that isn’t a concern. Tipping isn’t required for this service, so feel free to use it as an appreciation for their service and hard work.
