Cleaning Tips
Helpful Tips for a Cleaner, Healthier Home
At Nessa's Cleaning, we believe an informed customer is a happy customer. Whether you're hiring a professional cleaning service or maintaining your home between visits, these simple tips can help protect your investment and keep your home looking its best.
Before Hiring a Cleaning Company
Ask Questions
Not all cleaning companies have experience with every surface or cleaning situation. Before scheduling service, ask questions such as:
- —Have you cleaned this type of flooring before?
- —Do you have experience with natural stone, hardwood, or specialty surfaces?
- —What products do you use?
- —Are your cleaners trained for deep cleans, move-outs, or post-construction cleaning?
- —Do you have references or reviews available?
Verify Insurance and Bonding
Always choose a company that is:
- Fully insured
- Bonded
- Professionally trained
This protects both you and your property in the unlikely event of damage or accidents.
Be Clear About Expectations
Create a list of priorities before your cleaning appointment. Every home and family has different needs, and clear communication helps ensure the best results.
Reducing Dust in Your Home
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that dust buildup often starts with the HVAC system.
Change Air Filters Regularly
Replacing your HVAC air filter every 30–90 days can:
- Reduce household dust
- Improve indoor air quality
- Help your HVAC system run more efficiently
- Reduce allergens in the home
Homes with pets or allergy sufferers may need more frequent filter changes.
Additional Dust Reduction Tips
- —Vacuum carpets regularly using a HEPA-filter vacuum.
- —Wash bedding weekly.
- —Dust ceiling fans and vents frequently.
- —Keep windows and doors properly sealed.
- —Groom pets regularly.
Hard Water Cleaning Tips
Hard water stains are common on shower doors, faucets, sinks, toilets, and tile surfaces.
For Light Buildup
- White vinegar and water solution
- Commercial hard water removers designed for bathroom surfaces
For Heavier Buildup
- Products specifically labeled for calcium, lime, and rust removal
Avoid
- Abrasive scrubbers on glass
- Steel wool on chrome fixtures
- Mixing cleaning chemicals
Always test any cleaner in an inconspicuous area first.
