"Our condo building decided to have Bella Custom Cleaning out to clean our air duct vents today. The two young gentlemen who came to do our clean were respectful of my property and extremely professional. I wish I would have gotten their names, they were great!! We had a few quotes and this company had competitive pricing and great reviews, so we decided to go for it. Very happy we did, we will be using Bella Custom Cleaning again! Pricing shown is for one unit, approx. 1,000 sq ft., 12 vents."

"Bubbles Window Cleaning did a remarkable job on our windows. We recently had the house washed and the residue left by the cleaning solution left our windows looking horrible. Bubbles (specifically Alberto) were able to clean the windows to a sparkling finish. I would highly recommend Bubble Window Washing to anyone. I am more than pleased with their services."

House Cleaning FAQs, 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.

Clean high-traffic areas such as kitchen surfaces, bathroom surfaces, and bedding once per week. Deep clean other areas every three months to a year. How you use a space can help you figure out how often it should be cleaned, with areas where eating, bathing, and food prep occur getting the most frequent attention.

After you clean mildew or mold that appears in your home, you expect the nasty odor to disappear, too. Sometimes, though, the odor can linger after cleaning. To get rid of a mold smell, you may need to clean the area every few days for a few weeks. Use a dehumidifier or fans to try to remove moisture from the area. If the odor remains after a few weeks, you may still have mold or mildew in the area. Call a mold testing professional for another inspection.

Professionals use advanced, eco-friendly products that ensure effective yet safe cleaning.

If you avoid deep cleaning, it can lead to a slew of issues for your health and home. Mold and mildew can grow in damp areas of the home, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, which can cause allergic reactions and even structural damage to your house. A buildup of grime and dirt can allow bacteria and germs to thrive. A dirty home can also attract pests such as cockroaches, ants, and rodents.
