"It didn’t go! On the Handy app it kept saying that they hadn’t found a pro yet to do my job. Then on the day that I had asked them to start I was informed she had to cancel because of an emergency! What?? I didn’t even know anyone was hired? She would come the next day. All this was being done on the app or by email. No phone calls. I canceled the whole thing. Unfortunately they charged by checking account and now I have a credit for a service that I will not being using. Am not happy with Handy"

House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

To neutralize mildew smell, you can use natural deodorizers like baking soda or activated charcoal. Baking soda absorbs odors; sprinkle it liberally on the affected area, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up. Activated charcoal, available in pouches, works similarly. Vinegar, with its natural acidic properties, can also neutralize odors. Mix equal parts water and vinegar, spray the affected area lightly, then blot it with a dry cloth. Enzymatic cleaners are effective too, breaking down odor-causing compounds.

The short answer is, yes, it’s common courtesy to tip a house cleaner, though it may not be a requirement, and some cleaning companies add gratuity to their total price. Knowing how much to tip house cleaners–if it’s not already built into your total amount–will depend on the total sum and quality of the job, but typically 15% to 20% is customary.

The cost of professional house cleaning is $170 on average. You might pay as low as $90 for a small cleaning project or as much as $600 for a whole-home deep cleaning. The size of the area determines the price, with $0.05 and $0.15 per square foot for regular cleaning and up to $0.20 per square foot for deeper cleaning. 

Window cleaning runs between $4 and $10 per window, while carpet cleaning costs $75 to $200. The good news is that many maid services offer discounts for regularly scheduled cleaning services and might offer discounts.

Wipe down the walls with a mixture of equal parts vinegar and warm water. You can also run a dehumidifier to remove moisture and odors from the room. If the drywall mud had expired or your drywall got moist before or during installation, the culprit could be harder to fix. You may need to hire a drywall repair pro to remove the mud or the drywall itself.

Surprisingly, cleaning an air bath is almost as easy as relaxing in one. Most air baths have a self-cleaning or drying cycle to remove moisture from the inner tubing. This prevents mold and keeps the tub ready for your next soaking session. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and a soft cloth to wipe the surfaces and periodically clean the air jets as the manufacturer recommends.
