We clean homes all over Garner

Garner has older ranches and newer subdivisions

Garner grew up as a railroad town south of Raleigh, and the streets closest to downtown still have a lot of single-story brick ranch houses. Many still have their original hardwood floors and tile bathrooms. Those houses clean up well. They just need a gentler hand. Hardwood gets a damp mop, never a soaking. Old grout needs a scrub brush, because a quick spray and wipe won't get it clean.

Farther from downtown, the newer subdivisions are mostly two-story houses and townhomes with open floor plans. In an open plan, grease from the stove doesn't stay in the kitchen. It drifts out and settles as a sticky film on cabinet doors and on the ceiling fan in the living room. Tall ceilings hold dust nobody reaches on a normal weekend. Carpeted stairs trap the dirt a quick vacuum misses.

Before the first clean, we talk through what kind of house you've got and what you want done. An older ranch and a new two-story need different things, and we'd rather ask than guess. Then the crew works from a checklist. You can add any spot you care about. Lynette Lewis wrote in her Google review: "They are efficient on every detail including microwave, stove, and any other spot I request."

• Hardwood floors damp mopped, never soaked
• Grout scrubbed in older tile bathrooms
• Grease wiped off cabinets near the stove
• Ceiling fans and high ledges dusted
• Carpeted stairs vacuumed edge to edge

Pollen and red clay come into Garner homes

Every spring, pine pollen turns Garner yellow for a few weeks. It covers cars and porches, then comes inside on shoes and through open windows. Indoors it settles on window sills and blinds as a fine powder. Wipe it dry and it just spreads around. We take it up with a damp cloth, and in pollen season we give extra time to the rooms with the most windows.

Summers in Garner are hot and sticky, and that damp air shows up in bathrooms first. Showers that never fully dry grow mildew along the grout lines and in the caulk at the base of the tub. Leave it, and those dark spots set in. A normal cleaner won't lift them anymore. That's why a regular schedule matters most in the bathroom.

Then there's the red clay found all over Wake County. It comes in on shoes and paws, and on light carpet it leaves an orange stain a vacuum won't lift. The longer it sits, the deeper it goes. We also do carpet cleaning and window cleaning. That means you don't need a second company when the rugs or the glass need more than a regular visit.

Garner move-outs and new homes take extra work

New houses keep going up on the edges of Garner. A house fresh from the builder is rarely as clean as it looks. Fine drywall dust settles inside the cabinets and in the window tracks. More blows out of the vents once the heat or air conditioning kicks on. Our post-construction cleaning goes after that dust where a quick wipe misses it, so less of it lands on your counters after you move in.

When a Garner house sells or gets a new tenant, the move leaves the same kind of mess behind. People packing boxes skip the inside of the oven and the floor where the washer used to sit. Our move-in and move-out cleaning covers those spots along with the rest of the house. A new tenant who opens a greasy oven on move-in day starts off unhappy. That lands on the landlord.

If you own a rental in Garner, we'll clean it between tenants. It will be ready to show the next person. The cleaning has to fit between one lease ending and the next one starting, so the date matters. Clare Goodwin, who's used us for a few years, wrote on Google: "Martha is always very flexible with our schedule." Office cleaning is on the list too. It's for Garner business owners who want one company for home and work.
