"Poor communication before and during, they came late and did a rush job, they didn't hang all 150 feet of lights that we paid for prior to them schedling and we ended up paying double with the extra charges after they were "done", we do not feel it is no where CLOSE to what we explained to them nor what we paid. We will not be contacting Angi's list or contacting any one through them again. "

"Horrible customer service and the product is only getting worse over time. I have ordered 16 shutters from them over 5 separate orders during the last two years. A recent order late last year came with parts missing and getting replacement parts was a hassle because I had to provide pictures. How do you provide pictures of missing parts? My most recent order arrived without the mounting strips and blocking strips being pre-drilled. I received the screws and screw covers but no holes for them. After multiple back and forth with "Angie" from customer service I was forwarded a poorly spelled response from their supplier stating "usually" they don't pre-drill holes. Usually? All of my other shutters over the last two years were pre-drilled. I was then told it was my fault because this order was a single panel shutter vs all my previous orders being dual shutters and I would have to pay to get replacement strips with pre-drilled holes in them. What does a single vs a dual shutter have to do with whether or not holes are drilled in hanging and blocking strips?"

At first glance we may look like any other carpet cleaner, but we’re anything but that. Oxi Fresh has been designed from the ground up to provide the most effective, safest, and greenest Minnesota carpet cleaning possible. We don’t use traditional cleaning methods or solutions, because we don’t believe they can provide the quality Minnesota carpet cleanings people deserve. How exactly is our Minnesota carpet cleaning system different? It’s a green, low moisture, pile lifting cleaning system. Oxi Fresh’s cleaning method uses green carpet cleaning solutions - a powerful oxygenated booster and an encapsulator - that actively break up dirt and debris and then capture it all in microscopic crystals. And for our cleaning solutions to work, we only need 5% of the water a traditional Minnesota carpet cleaning company would use. Where most steam cleaners need 40-60 gallons of water to clean a home, we need two. That means after your Minnesota carpet cleaning, you’ll be back on your now dry carpets in about an hour! Twin Cities Locations: Rosemount - 7303 161st St Rosemount MN 55068, Minneapolis - 8100 Wayzata Blvd Minneapolis MN 55426, Minnetonka - 10501 Wayzata Blvd Minnetonka MN 55305, Maple Grove - 13786 Reimer Dr Maple Grove MN 55311, Saint Cloud - 35 33rd Ave N Saint Cloud MN 56303, and Saint Paul - 445 Minnesota St Ste 1500 Saint Paul, MN 55101.

House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you’re seeing many cobwebs inside your home, chances are you have a spider problem. Cobwebs are either abandoned spiderwebs or webs made by a member of the house spider species, but if you clean them with vacuuming or dusting, for example, and they reappear, then it points to an issue with spiders. Try using a natural DIY spider repellent or calling in a pest control service to help keep spiders out of your home. 

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.

While a biohazard cleanup sounds like a scary process, knowing what to expect can help ease your concerns and set you up for success. It’s good to note that more than one professional might be needed depending on your situation, but that will be determined during the assessment. What you can expect during a home biohazard cleanup is the following:

  • Assessment: The first step in this process is for a biohazard cleanup professional to assess the damage. They create a report that includes the biohazard safety level, the needed damage cleanup, and the time it should take to complete the project. 

  • Setup: The cleanup professional prepares the site to prevent cross-contamination and reduce toxicity risk. This process can include tarping and creating decontamination zones. 

  • Removal of surface contamination: Any contaminated materials are removed from the area, starting with large materials followed by small ones. The professional can assess any floor-related damage once everything is removed from the site. 

  • Salvaging items: The biohazard cleanup professionals assess which items can be saved and which are contaminated beyond the point of saving. Those deemed unsafe will be disposed of immediately. 

  • Waste disposal: The next step is carefully disposing of the hazardous waste. Your professional will place the contaminated items in specific containers to keep the contamination from spreading.   

  • Disinfection: The house will be disinfected and odor-neutralized. Even more minor details, like light switches and bulbs, will be disinfected so that they do not recontaminate the area in the future. 

  • Restoration: Once the decontamination is complete, the last step is to restore the home. This includes repairing the damage to flooring, walls, or even the home's foundation.  

While temporarily inconvenient, repiping a house is not super invasive. Depending on the size of your home, the project can take a few days to a week. During that time, plumbers may turn your water off here and there, but you won’t be without water the whole time. If you’re worried about living in your home during this renovation, you can always stay with friends or family or book a hotel room.

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’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’s still safe for your septic tank, or use white vinegar and a scrub brush to do the cleaning yourself.
