Deep cleaning in McLean, down to the last ledge of trim

McLean has older brick homes and new custom builds, and both tend to carry a lot of trim. Older brick homes often have crown molding, chair rails and built-in bookshelves. Newer custom builds may add wainscoting, coffered ceilings and tall paneled doors. Every ledge and groove catches dust, and a regular clean only reaches what you can see from the floor. On a deep clean, your team hand-wipes the baseboards and door frames. They dust crown molding and high shelves, and wipe each door, panel by panel. Painted trim, stained wood and older finishes need different care, so tell us what you have when requesting the quote. If a built-in is full of books or collections, your team dusts around them. Clear a shelf if you want it wiped end to end. The goal is simple: no grey line along the top of anything.

If you plan to sell, a deep clean is one of the last jobs before photos. The order matters. Finish repairs, touch-up paint and any contractor work first, since all of it leaves dust behind. Then book the deep clean. Then bring in the stager and the photographer. Buyers open things, so think about adding the inside of the oven, the fridge and the cabinets. Cleaning inside cabinets works best when they are empty. The kitchen and the primary bathroom get the closest look at a showing, so tell us if you want extra time there. Once the house is listed, discuss recurring care and the rooms that need attention between showings.

Our McLean team covers 22101 and 22102, and part of 22102 sits in Tysons. So the homes we deep clean here are very different. A five-bedroom house may have a finished lower level, a home office and several bathrooms. Every extra bathroom means more shower glass to clean and more grout to scrub. A condo near Tysons is smaller, but it has its own list. Think kitchen cabinet fronts, window sills and tracks, the balcony door and the air vents. Your price is set from your own home's size, not a flat fee built for someone else's house. We discuss your personal quote before scheduling. In a condo building, tell us how guests check in and where your team should park.
