"I have never seen anyone work harder than Hew! He cleaned two couches, getting out some stubborn stains that previous cleaners didnâ t. He did our air vents too. He even left a high-powered fan at our house to make sure the couches dried properly. Highly recommend!"

"Karla has cleaned my house for at least 8 years. She always does an excellent job. Each room is spotless when she leaves. I have a dog 🐕 who leaves his nose marks on both sides of 2 doors with windows, and they are always very clean! She cleans three bathrooms, 2 hallways, 1 family room, 1 Great Room, 1 kitchen, 1 TV room, and 1 King size bed room. She always arrives happy and smiling. 😊"

House Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

No, vinegar does not disinfect hardwood floors safely. A vinegar and water solution can effectively clean many hard surfaces, but it is acidic enough to break down the finish on hardwood floors and damage the wood underneath. Over time this will dull the floors and reduce their shine. A damaged finish will also leave floors susceptible to moisture and other problems.

You can remove stubborn stains from your toilet by scrubbing with a store-bought cleaner appropriate for the toilet’s material. If you’re looking for a homemade solution, you can also use vinegar and baking soda—just pour 2 cups of white vinegar around the edges of your toilet. Once the bowl is wet with vinegar, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of baking soda, concentrating on the stains. Scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and flush to clean the mixture. 

Just a note: While combining baking soda and vinegar is OK, never mix that solution with any other cleaners.

No, you should never use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to clean flat paint or paint with any other finish. Isopropyl alcohol works similarly to a paint thinner, so it’s likely to liquify the paint on your walls and leave damaged or bare areas. For stubborn stains, try mixing one cup of vinegar or baking soda into a bucket of warm water and scrubbing very gently with a soft sponge. If the stain or soiling is pervasive, touch up the area by repainting the affected areas.

Other than being really gross, not cleaning your bathroom can pose many potential health risks to you and those who use it. Bathrooms are a high-humidity zone where microorganisms thrive. Mold, mildew, yeast, and bacteria can build up quickly on your bathroom’s surfaces, causing respiratory issues, skin irritation, and illness.

Housekeepers use a range of products to clean bathrooms, including vinegar, all-purpose spray, toilet bowl cleaner, and glass cleaner. Some house cleaners use bleach products, while others may provide an option for all-natural products. You can certainly speak to your cleaning pro to discuss which products you prefer they use in your bathroom.
