Q: Should I tip my house cleaner?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s customary to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tip-house-cleaners.htm">tip an individual cleaner</a> between 10% and 20% of the cost of cleaning. However, if you hire a group of cleaners or hire from a company that dispatches employees as a team, check the company website for information on tipping. Leave your tip in a prominent place with a note so your cleaners will notice it.</p></div>

Q: Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don&rsquo;t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively&mdash;even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring&mdash;including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don&rsquo;t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent trash can odors?

• <div><p>Cleaning your trash cans lightly once per week and then disinfecting and doing a deep clean at least once per month is the best way to prevent trash can odors. You can also invest in some garbage can deodorizers to combat odors or lay down a dryer sheet or a thin layer of baking soda in the bottom of the can under the bag. Replace the deodorizer once every month or every other month, depending on how well it works over time.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t clean your fridge?

• <div><p>Putting off cleaning your fridge is a bad idea for a few reasons. For one, any food spills can build up, making it much harder to clean your fridge when you finally do get around to it. Plus, any stray pickle juice or leaky leftovers are a recipe for a stinky fridge. </p><p>But beyond that, if you don&rsquo;t clean your fridge, it could be a health hazard. Old food can turn moldy and old spills can too. Even if none of that scares you, putting off cleaning your fridge will make it look downright gross, which should be reason enough to break out your sponge. </p></div>

Q: What dissolves laundry detergent?

• <div><p>While you can try a few different methods to dissolve any laundry detergent spills, the most effective will likely be white vinegar. This kitchen staple will cut through the thick laundry detergent and decrease the likelihood of a lingering stain. However, you should always spot test to be sure that vinegar won&rsquo;t damage your carpet fibers, and do any cleaning with care.</p></div>

Can't say enough good things about the work they do. Weekly lawn mowing is done in a timely fashion, and the lawn looks great when they're done. Fall cleanup was great. We have lots of trees, so there was a ton of leaves and sticks (including some relatively large branches) to clean up, and...
