Well, I had all small items removed and they were neat about setting large furniture places where I could still move around. Put everything back and cleaned up behind themselves. Wonderful! David Hunt and Brandon Mirling were polite and easy going, made having them in my house feel comfortable.

"The crew was fast, maybe too fast...left cigarette butts on the roof, lawn, bushes, everywhere, and nails too. Fascia was "wavy" in many places, some wasn't completed, the guy running the crew left them there to finish - IN THE DARK, we gave them as many headlights we could find. Have been trying to get resolution since September. Some phone calls were returned, "will be out next week" haven't seen anyone and have been ghosted since the beginning of January."

House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’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—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to clean laminate floors or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.

If left untreated, the smell of pet urine may not go away on its own. This is because urine is a surfactant that can penetrate fabric and upholstery, even some porous concrete. Plus, urine attracts bacteria, which can worsen the smell. When dealing with urine on your couch, treat it immediately or pay for the cost of a house cleaner. Most pros charge between $30 and $50 per hour.

Individual professional organizers don’t typically provide a house cleaning service. However, some companies that offer professional organizing services also offer other home services, such as cleaning. If you are looking for a cleaning service and a professional closet organizer, finding a company that does both can be more economical.

If you or your pet are unlucky enough to enrage a skunk during extraction, don’t douse yourself in tomato juice—it only masks the odor. A more effective way to get rid of skunk smells is with a hydrogen peroxide solution which you apply to skin, pet fur, or clothing.

DIY cleanup is not recommended due to hazardous soot, odors, and potential structural issues.
