"OMA is prompt, professional, and most importantly--they do excellent work. My air duct and dryer vent had not been cleaned since I moved into my home. I had no idea how much dirt and debris were hiding in my air duct and dryer vent. OMA cleaned the duct and dryer vent AND they went over and above expectations by cleaning the air filter, air grate, and bathroom fans. I didn't expect them to do the additional work, but they focus on doing the job right. Highly recommend them!"

"We had never hired a cleaner before, but with 2 kids and very hectic schedules we found that we did not have time to keep up with the daily chores of maintaining the cleanliness of our home.
So one of our friends referred Norah's Cleaning services to us.
We called the business phone number, and from the time we called, we were impressed by her
professionalism. We gave her our address, she came out and gave us a quote. She was a very pleasant lady, and it was very refreshing to deal with someone who was not pushy and did not try to force a sale on us.
She kept things very simple, and guaranteed her service.
And the rest is history-one day we left for work and dropped the kids of at school, and when we came back in the evening, i was SHOCKED!!!Our home looked absolutely amazing, and it had that clean smell to it.
We were ecstatic with the quality of work, and the price was amazing.
We have recommended her to all of our neighbors!!! We will definitelybe using her on a biweekly basis, and she is absolutely the person i will be calling if i am having guest or the in-laws over!
I highly recommend Norah's Cleaning service. I never write reviews for anything but this is the only time i felt i had to make an exception after the fabulous job, that Norah's Cleaning did for our home.
Thank you Norah- i look forward to working with you again.

Floor Cleaning and Waxing questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can polish an old cement floor. However, be aware that the first pass with the concrete grinder may reveal a few surprises and imperfections. You may also have to contend with the consequences of previous floor coverings, such as tile or carpet, which can leave a pattern in the concrete. Old concrete is more likely to produce uneven results if you want to use a dye or other coloring.

For localized stains, they may use a commercial cleaner or a mixture of water, vinegar, and dish soap. For tile, they’ll typically use dish soap and hot water, plus a mixture of baking soda and hot water for the grout. For cleaning wood floors, they might use a low-heat steamer, a mop with an oil wood floor cleaner, or a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and lemon juice.
