Q: How do you clean a subfloor after removing the carpet?

• <div><p>Start by removing any debris, nails, or staples left behind from the old carpet. Next, thoroughly vacuum the subfloor to eliminate dust, dirt, and loose particles. If adhesive residue remains, consider using an adhesive remover or scraper to lift it off gently. You can also use a sander. Finally, wipe down the subfloor using a damp rag to ensure all remaining dirt and residue is gone.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for a maid service visit?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t have to have a spotless home for your maid service visit, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-things-do-house-cleaner-arrives.htm">preparing for a housekeeper</a> makes their visit as efficient as possible. First, if you have pets, ensure they are in a secure location. Your maid service will most likely be coming in and out of your home, and you don&rsquo;t want the potential of a lost pet. </p><p>Placing your valuables and fragile items away in a secure location is also a great way to prepare for your visit. Additionally, decluttering your floors and counters can help make your visit as organized as possible.</p></div>

Q: Does a steam mop actually clean the floor?

• <div><p>Steam mopping effectively cleans and sanitizes floors to kill germs and remove ingrained grease and grime. However, vacuuming or sweeping the flooring first is always a good idea. This removes the larger dust and debris particles that can end up being pushed around the floor by a non-suctioning steam cleaner.</p></div>

Q: What is the best cleaner for the shower door track?

• <div><p>Use warm water and white vinegar to effectively remove soap scum and mineral deposits from shower door tracks. It&rsquo;s a good option because it safely breaks down buildup without damage. Avoid bleach and ammonia-based cleaners, especially on metal frames and rubber seals. They can cause corrosion and deterioration over time.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t clean your house regularly?

• <div><p>Not cleaning your house on a regular basis can lead to elevated allergen levels, pest problems, mold growth, damaged belongings, and parts of your home falling into disrepair. Consistent cleaning prevents problems that can lead to illness and ensures you&rsquo;re aware of the condition of everything in your home so you can maintain and repair things as needed.</p></div>
