Why Deep Cleaning Matters for Texas Homes

Texas homes face unique challenges, from dusty winds and pollen to hard water stains and humidity. A deep clean not only removes visible dirt but also eliminates allergens, bacteria, and hidden grime. Regular deep cleaning protects your investment, improves indoor air quality, and ensures your home stays welcoming year-round.

Pre-Deep Cleaning Prep

1. Gather Supplies:
   • Microfiber cloths, scrub brushes, and sponges
   • All-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, and disinfectant
   • Baking soda, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide (eco-friendly options)
   • Vacuum, mop, and steam cleaner (if available)
   • Gloves, masks, and a caddy for organization
2. Declutter First:
   Remove items from surfaces, floors, and cabinets to access every nook. Donate, recycle, or toss unused items to streamline your space.
3. Work Top to Bottom:
   Always start with ceilings, light fixtures, and shelves before moving to floors to avoid re-cleaning areas.
