House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Whether you need to leave your home after a termite treatment depends on the method used, and your pest control expert will provide specific instructions. For basic treatments like bait stations or traps, you typically don't need to vacate, but you should keep children and pets away from them. If the treatment involves indoor pesticide spraying, you will likely need to leave for three to five hours. For a full fumigation, which involves tenting the house, you must vacate the property for 24 to 72 hours (approximately three days). If you have any concerns, you can consult the National Pesticide Information Center for guidance.

You will need to discuss with your pest control expert to know when and what to clean after the treatment. Sometimes, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for deep cleaning to avoid wiping up the treatment they applied.

However, you’ll want to wipe down any surfaces you use for food prep and eating. Before the treatment, you’ll also want to make sure that items such as pet dishes and children's toys won’t be exposed to the chemicals.

Yes, if you’re strapped for supplies, boiling hot water can be a great alternative for getting rid of soap scum. However, as this method calls for a bit of soaking, it’s best used when cleaning your bathroom sink or bath basin (or on small objects you can submerge). All you have to do is plug your sink or bathtub drain and pour in enough boiling water to cover the soap scum. Allow it to soak for five minutes, drain, and follow up with an additional hot water rinse to remove any lingering residue.

Professionals use brushes, vacuums, and diagnostic tools to ensure thorough cleaning and safety.

Hydrogen peroxide can be a good option for removing dried blood stains, but it’s an aggressive solution that could discolor or damage your carpet. It’s often a better option to call in a professional to deal with dried blood stains. A pro will have commercial cleaning solutions that do a better job as well as the experience necessary to get the stain out without doing irreparable damage to your carpet.
