"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?"

Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to complete a move-out cleaning depends on the size of your home and its current condition. However, a four-person cleaning crew can usually clean a 1,000-square foot space in one hour. If you tackle this project yourself, it might take multiple days to complete, depending on your home size and needs.

A toilet in a guest bathroom that doesn’t get used very often can usually be cleaned less frequently, but toilets that are used regularly should be cleaned every week. Cleaning your toilet more frequently than once per week is usually unnecessary.

Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because the steam can lift stubborn dirt from floors without using chemicals, and it also kills bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops have drawbacks: they are more expensive, require an electrical outlet, and are not suitable for all flooring types, such as laminate or hardwood, which can be damaged by the steam.

Regular mopping can also sanitize floors effectively when done with the right cleaning products and techniques, though it may require more effort. The main advantage of a traditional mop is its versatility, as it can be used on any type of flooring. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your floor type, budget, and cleaning preferences.

If you’re hiring someone to clean an empty and tidy house before you move in, there’s little prep work to do. Make sure to discuss your goals with the cleaning service, arrange entry to the house, and communicate any problem areas or special requests. If you’ve already moved into the house, or if it’s messy, it’s best to complete the following tasks before the cleaners arrive:

  • Declutter things like clothes, toys, or cardboard boxes

  • Do the dishes

  • Put fragile items in a safe spot where they can’t be accidentally broken

  • Keep pets away from cleaning areas

Unless it’s written into the purchase agreement, there’s no legal obligation that a house you’ve bought has to be clean before you move in. The previous owner is generally required to sweep the house, but that doesn’t guarantee everything will be spotless upon your arrival. If possible, discuss the cleaning requirements with the real estate company before moving in.
