Q: Should you tip before or after the cleaning?

• <div><p>Whether you tip before or after a carpet cleaning depends on when you&rsquo;re available. If you&rsquo;re home when they finish up, you can give them their tip after. However, if you need to leave before they&rsquo;re done or if you won&rsquo;t be home at all, you can prepare the tip beforehand and leave it for them in an envelope. </p></div>

Q: How do professionals clean window screens?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-secret-window-cleaning.htm">Professionals clean window screens</a> the same way a homeowner can&mdash;by removing the screens and cleaning them with a sponge.

Q: Are windows included in a deep clean?

• <div><p>Window cleaning depends on how the cleaning service defines their deep cleaning tasks, so pay attention to the details. You certainly should make sure window cleaning is included in the package. Some services will include it as an add-on, so you may have to pay extra. Find out if the cleaning includes interior windows only, or interior and exterior windows. Exterior windows may cost more. </p></div>

Basically did a good job. Clean-up afterward was not great, I needed them to send someone out to finish up. Some deep tire tracks were left. Workers were working in sync with a tree/limb cutter who was very good. The owner was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would hire them again.
