Cleaning an older home downtown
Much of downtown Leesburg sits in the Old and Historic District, where the town's Board of Architectural Review signs off on exterior changes. That review stops at the front door, but an older home wants a lighter touch inside too. Wood floors that have been sanded many times can have a thin top layer, and a damp mop is kinder to them than a wet one. Old window glass can be thin and wavy, so it is best wiped by hand with a soft cloth. Painted trim and built-ins hold dust in their grooves, and a soft brush lifts it without scratching. Tell us about anything original, like a mantel, a pocket door or a stair rail, so we can agree care instructions and include them in the home notes. One more local detail: many addresses in town end in a quadrant, like NE or SW. Include yours when you request a quote so we find the right door the first time.
