Deep cleaning in Vienna, for original houses, additions and new builds

Walk down many Vienna streets and you see original houses next to large new homes built where older ones stood. Plenty of the older homes have grown too, with a bigger kitchen or a family room added on the back. So one house can hold two kinds of cleaning. The original rooms may have deep window sills, older trim, built-in shelves and hardwood that wants a gentle mop. The newer rooms often have wide windows, recessed lights, open kitchens and stone counters. Your team hand-wipes baseboards and door frames in both, dusts blinds slat by slat and wipes switches and outlet covers. When you book, tell us which rooms are original and which are new. It helps your team pick the right product for each surface.

If your Vienna home spreads over several levels, count them before you book. A split-level can have three or four short runs of stairs. Other houses have a full basement with a family room, a laundry room and a spare bath. Each level adds time, and an honest count gets you an honest price. On the stairs, rails and spindles get a hand wipe and every tread gets vacuumed, corners included. Downstairs, your team dusts high and low and wipes the window sills. They scrub the spare bath down to the grout and vacuum under the furniture they can safely move. If part of your basement is unfinished storage, leave it out of your square feet and tell us where to stop.

Some Vienna houses still have an original bathroom or two. Think small ceramic tile, wide grout lines, a cast iron tub and older chrome fixtures. These rooms clean up well, but they need a light touch. Abrasive powders and scouring pads can scratch old enamel and leave it dull, so your team uses non-scratch pads and gentle products. They scrub the tile grout, descale the faucets and shower head and clean the toilet down to the base. Grout that is deeply stained or cracked may not come back to white. Fixing it is a job for a tile pro, and your team will point it out if they see it. In an older kitchen, grease builds up on the cabinet tops and around the hood. Your team cuts the grease on the stovetop, knobs and range hood, then wipes every cabinet door and handle, top edges included.
