A Star Quality Cleaning Company LLC is the area's finest cleaning service. Our trained professional staff works in a variety of settings and offer a wide range of cleaning options to fit our customers needs. We are Committed to providing the best Professional Quality Service to our customers.

"I wish I could had the option to give this company ZERO stars! I have never ever posted a negative review. However, I thought it was necessary to warn people about this "company". I had a service done for Thanksgiving, a full cleaning, and tipped ahead of time generously. Still, my family was taken advantage of by this company. An outside contractor was hired to clean windows and tall appliances. This was not mentioned to me ahead of time, no information about this entire "cleaning" was emailed to me prior. During the time they were here, the contracted company broke an antique light fixture that we had in the home. I was very pleasant about it and contacted the owner of "A Star Quality Cleaning Services" afterwards. This was not the only issue that was found. After the girls rushed out of the home to get onto their next client (without providing a walk through as discussed), there were many rooms that still had areas left that were unclean. We had just moved into an older house and didn't expect it to be immaculate after. However, what transpired the following interactions with Tracy was the WORST I could ever imagine experiencing!!! I called and emailed afterwards with pictures to show the job that was done. She initially promised to come by a later date as she was out of town and we would arrange a time. I was promised a partial refund to make-up for the disappointing services and broken appliance. She told me a time and date, NEVER SHOWED UP, NEVER CALLED BACK. She told me I was "playing games with her" when I had to reschedule because my grandfather passed away! The message I got from her after trying to reschedule was absolutely atrocious and unbelievable from a supposed business owner or human being. She did not show up purposely for some terrible vendetta. After months of trying to get ahold of them for follow-up or to fix what THEY BROKE I have been left aside. I hope no one ever has to go through this with them. For your sake, GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals fit the drains of nearly every sink out there due to universal drain hole sizes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, but the same isn’t true for the housing underneath the sink. You need plenty of room to fit a garbage disposal under there, so measure the space ahead of time and use those dimensions when shopping for a new model. If you’re replacing an existing model, get one in that size.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

No, you don’t need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without a garbage disposal. However, the two appliances pair well and are often installed together. It is rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn’t have a garbage disposal, but that doesn’t mean it's not possible. Each appliance serves its own purpose.
