Q: What if I don’t want to use a commercial cleaner?

• <div><p>You can always use a homemade vinegar solution as a natural alternative to commercial cleaning products. To make and use a vinegar cleaning solution, fill a spray bottle with equal parts white distilled vinegar and warm water. Spray the solution liberally across the tub surface. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before wiping it down with a non-abrasive sponge or cleaning cloth, then rinse with clean water. If a line of soap scum is still visible, spray it with the vinegar solution. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently scrub the residue away before wiping it down and rinsing again.</p></div>

Q: What do most house cleaners charge per hour?

• <div><p>A standard cleaning session with a housekeeping service costs between <b>$120 and $240</b>, depending on the size of the house and requested services. Many types of cleaning are add-ons, such as windows and oven cleaning, which will cost extra. But don&rsquo;t confuse standard cleaning with deep cleaning, which typically costs at least twice as much for the extra work involved. </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>

Q: Can Coca-Cola clean toilet stains?

• <div><p>Coca-Cola isn&rsquo;t a very effective method for cleaning toilet bowl stains on its own. The idea is that since it contains carbonic, citric, and phosphoric acids, it can wipe out your hard water stains after sitting for a few hours. While it can work on lighter stains if you heat it, let it sit overnight, and scrub your toilet, it&rsquo;s unlikely to make a noticeable difference on stubborn stains.</p></div>

Getting the job done right the 1st time is my focus on every job. I like to talk with each customer to find their most wanted areas in the home. Then I go to work on those areas first. I like to make a plan with each customer because each home is unique. I specialize in getting those hard to reach places, getting behind and above where dust likes to hide. Bathrooms are a high priority and I will detail your bathroom from top to bottom. I focus on the customers needs for each home and enjoy making a clean environment for my clients to live in.
