Q: Is it good to have cobwebs in your house?

• <div><p>Having cobwebs in your home indicates you may have an issue with spiders entering your property. While spiders are mostly harmless, some venomous bites can cause human problems, such as a brown recluse or black widow. Regular vacuuming and dusting, keeping clutter to a minimum, and keeping your lawn trimmed and tidy are a few natural ways to keep spiders out of your home and remove the temptations that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-attracts-spiders.htm">attract spiders</a>.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to clean a house post-construction?

• <div><p>It usually takes around one hour for one person to deep clean a 100 to 200 square foot space, or between eight and 12 hours for a full home. Large construction projects may take longer, especially if your contractor didn&rsquo;t do routine cleanups throughout the construction process. Your cleaning professional should be able to give you an estimate on how long they believe the job will take.</p></div>

Q: Can flat paint be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What tools are used for cleaning and inspection?

• <div><p>Professionals use brushes, vacuums, and diagnostic tools to ensure thorough cleaning and safety.</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>
