Q: How long does skunk smell last in a house?

• <div><p>A mild skunk smell in your house can last up to three weeks, dissipating over time with proper ventilation. However, if you leave stronger smells untreated, they can last for months or years, becoming more difficult to remove the longer they sit. This is especially true of odors that have seeped into fabrics such as clothing or furniture or those in your pets&rsquo; fur.</p></div>

Q: How long does a professional cleaning typically take?

• <div><p>Usually 1-2 hours, depending on gutter length and condition.</p></div>

Q: Is a house supposed to be clean when you buy it?

• <div><p>Unless it&rsquo;s written into the purchase agreement, there&rsquo;s no legal obligation that a house you&rsquo;ve bought has to be clean before you move in. The previous owner is generally required to sweep the house, but that doesn&rsquo;t guarantee everything will be spotless upon your arrival. If possible, discuss the cleaning requirements with the real estate company before moving in.</p></div>

Q: What is the best thing to clean the inside of a toilet tank?

• <div><p>The most effective toilet tank cleaners include commercial cleaning products, but for DIY purposes, white vinegar is best. Vinegar can help kill bacteria and remove mineral buildup from your toilet tank, but it won&rsquo;t harm the necessary bacteria in your septic tank as some commercial products can. For the best clean, hire a professional to choose the most aggressive cleaning product that&rsquo;s still safe for your septic tank, or use white vinegar and a scrub brush to do the cleaning yourself.</p></div>

Q: How long does a move-out cleaning take?

• <div><p>The time it takes to complete a move-out cleaning depends on the size of your home and its current condition. However, a four-person cleaning crew can usually clean a 1,000-square foot space in one hour. If you tackle this project yourself, it might take multiple days to complete, depending on your home size and needs.</p></div>

"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "
