How to Do Whole House Deep Cleaning

You’ve sold the house—congratulations! You made it through the weekend showings and weeknight pop-overs, the offer, and acceptance, and have timed it just right for the perfect next house you just found. There is so much more to do. Packing the house, scheduling the shipping, turning off and on utilities, maybe even registering for new schools. And then there’s what you’re going to do to prepare the home you’re leaving for its next owner. If you want to leave it pristine for them, to welcome them, and wish them a wonderful future in their new home, you need a whole house deep cleaning. Here are 5 tips to make sure you do it right.

If you’re like most of our customers, your house has gotten a lot of use over the last year and a half. You’ve maybe even spent more time than you care to remember staring at the four walls of your house. And with everybody home for work and school, rooms got more use than ever before. 

A Professional’s Recommendation on How to Clean Different Types of Floors

At You’ve Got Maids® of Northern Virginia, we love a clean home. So it’s only natural we’d want to keep the home we all share clean, too: our planet.

It's the last days of the year 2020 (thank goodness!) and we're looking toward 2021 as a chance to renew, recharge, and improve. Given how difficult 2020 has been, many people are taking their New Year's Resolutions especially seriously this time.

At You've Got Maids, absolutely nothing is more important to us than providing every single customer with the best professional cleaning service in Northern Virginia. With us, it really is all about you. In fact, I've always measured our company's success by what customers think of us. That's why we work so hard – so they see there's no better maid service in NoVA!

So one way we make sure we're doing the best possible cleaning job every time is by communicating with our customers. That means carefully listening to exactly what your unique cleaning needs are, then explaining how You've Got Maids will meet those needs.

One thing that's really important to communicate: What can you, the customer, do to make sure our elite cleaning team always exceeds your expectations? Obviously, we have highly experienced teams full of Maid University graduates who are able and willing to do all the hard work… but there are a few helpful things you can do before You've Got Maids arrives at your door.

Hi! My name is Natasha and I'm the owner and president of You've Got Maids of Northern Virginia. I wanted to use one of my blogs to tell you a bit about myself and why I chose to become your You've Got Maids franchisee here in NoVA.

I spent more than 20 years working as a senior accountant and controller in commercial real estate and property management. Over the years we hired several different cleaning companies to clean our home – and unfortunately, they almost always did a terrible job. They would miss spots, leave things cluttered, sometimes even arrive late. My family was constantly having to pick up after them. (Imagine needing to clean up AFTER the cleaners!) It was not an enjoyable experience.

Getting back into class schedules, homework, working from home for your job and other activities mean juggling massive amounts of details from home, work, and school. If you don’t have a system in place to stay organized and tidy, it will be impossible to keep a clean home at a time in history when cleanliness truly is next to godliness. Forgotten science projects and misplaced permission slips can be troublesome for children and parents alike. Having a system and even a chore sheet can go a long way towards keeping the home tidy so that the cleaning is much more effortless.
