"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."

"Exceptional Service Every Time! Janice and Katie from Clean As a Whistle are truly outstanding. They are professional, friendly, efficient, and incredibly thorough. Every other week when they clean my three-story, four-bathroom home, it never feels like just another routine cleaning. They take a systematic, detailed approach moving furniture, cleaning hard-to-reach areas, and making sure every room is left fresh, tidy, and spotless. What I appreciate most is their willingness to go the extra mile. Whenever I ask them to tackle an additional task or pay special attention to a particular area, they are always accommodating and handle it with a positive attitude. Their consistency, attention to detail, and pride in their work are evident during every visit. Clean As a Whistle is a great organization that clearly knows how to hire exceptional people. I highly recommend Janice and Katie to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality cleaning services."

"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

House cleaners typically charge by the hour, with average rates ranging from $40 to $50 per hour per cleaner. The total cost depends on factors like the size of your house, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the specific services you request.

A standard cleaning session generally costs between $120 and $240. However, the price can be significantly higher for very large homes or comprehensive services. Keep in mind that add-on services, such as cleaning windows or ovens, will cost extra.

Deep cleaning is more expensive than a standard session—often at least twice the price—because it involves more time and effort, such as moving furniture to clean underneath and reaching difficult areas. Due to the cost, some recommend hiring professionals for seasonal deep cleans while managing regular weekly or biweekly upkeep yourself.

The best way to clean kitchen cabinets is to use a soft cloth soaked in warm water and mild dish soap. For areas that require a stronger solution, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar is the best choice. If your cabinets are made of sealed hardwood, you can deep clean them using a steam cleaner, but other cabinet materials are exempt from this type of cleaning.

You’ll often find mildew and soap scum in the same place, but they are very different substances. Mildew is a substance composed of living fungi, whereas soap scum is primarily an accumulation of mineral deposits. Mildew needs chronic moisture to thrive, while soap scum is unaffected by damp conditions (though it is a residue left behind by the water).

If you or your pet are unlucky enough to enrage a skunk during extraction, don’t douse yourself in tomato juice—it only masks the odor. A more effective way to get rid of skunk smells is with a hydrogen peroxide solution which you apply to skin, pet fur, or clothing.

To determine whether you can use cleaning wipes on baseboards, figure out if your trim and baseboards are painted or stained. Painted baseboards can often handle wipes that contain bleach or similar disinfectant. However, steer clear of using these wipes on unfinished wood baseboards, especially if you use them regularly.
