"Oh wow.... they are AMAZING! We are quite picky about a very clean home and these housekeepers are just so great (usually the same two ladies come for 3-4 hours... up to 8 combined "work hours".) While the house can't be cleaned "top to bottom" every time, they know what needs to be done on a bi-weekly basis, monthly basis ... and maybe just a few times a year (like moving heavier furniture). We love them and, while we pay more than we have in the past, we learned that "you get what you pay for". Bravo to Debbie and her staff!"

"F and A did a fantastic job cleaning our windows and doors! The communication was great, they arrived on time and cleaned every glass surface, sills, and screens until they looked almost new. It was wonderful to walk into the house and see the sun and plants through sparkling clean windows. We will hire F and A to clean our windows every spring!"

"I was impressed by the detail attention. Listened to any specific requests and evidence furniture was moved when requested, and pads put under furniture when possible. The blind cleaning this firm does is difficult to get done -- either by other firms or on your own! I liked the frankness and honesty of the spokesperson; took a little longer than expected, but the job was worth it."

"We hired “A Plus Cleaning Service” to clean our house. We are very happy with an excellent job Ines and her husband did for our house. Ines is the owner. I talked with several cleaning services over one week and selected “A Plus Cleaning Service” to clean our house. Ines came to our house, answered all of my questions, and provided me with a quote with a reasonable price immediately after her inspection. Ines and her husband are very courteous, punctual, and hard working. They followed all the COVID-19 protocols. They completed the cleaning thoroughly with meticulous detail and did a superb job. I have recommended “A Plus Cleaning Service” to my friends and relatives. I have already used the service again. I recommend strongly that if you have any cleaning project at least talk to Ines and get her input and quote for your project. What do you have to lose? Why not have an honest, professional, punctual, and hardworking “A Plus Cleaning Service” team on your side?"

House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

To hire a professional house cleaner, start by searching online for local services or asking friends and colleagues for recommendations. Research potential companies by reviewing their websites, social media accounts, and online customer reviews. Contact them to inquire about their services and charges. It is also recommended to meet with prospective cleaners in your home to allow them to see the scope of the job, discuss expectations, and negotiate a price for the service. Always do your research before choosing a cleaning service to ensure it’s the right fit for you.

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.

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.

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.

On average, it takes between four and eight hours to deep clean a house. The exact time depends on factors like the size of the home, the number of rooms, and how dirty it is. A home that is frequently cleaned will take less time than one that is not. If you are short on time, you can break the job into smaller tasks or hire a professional house cleaner.
