Q: Are hard water stains permanent?

• <div><p>Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.</p></div>

Q: How do you get cooking smells out of your house?

• <div><p>Onions, peppers, fish, broccoli, and fried chicken taste great&mdash;but the leftover smells can be less than appetizing. Even if these foods are cooked perfectly, the odors they leave behind can linger well beyond the dishes being cleared and washed. Fortunately, you can use the same tips to get a burnt smell out of the house and remove stubborn food odors. In addition, make sure you&rsquo;re keeping your fridge clear of odor-smelling foods for too long to keep the stench from invading other foods. </p></div>

Q: How much do you tip a house cleaner for special occasion cleaning?

• <div><p>For special occasions, follow the same 15% to 20% tipping suggestion on the final cost of the service. Cleaning for holidays and parties can sometimes exceed $400, depending on if it&rsquo;s a deep clean or involves more specialized requests (like yard clean up, unpacking decorations, or rearranging furniture). In which case, a $400 service would result in a tip between $40 to $80.</p></div>
