Kitchen cleaning problems we take care of in Elmhurst
A deep clean reaches the parts of the kitchen a weekly wipe-down skips: sticky cabinet fronts, the hood filters, the inside of the oven and the floor under the fridge. Our Elmhurst crew works top to bottom with products matched to each finish, so stone, wood and stainless all come out clean and undamaged.
Refrigerator that smells or has spills
Sticky shelves and an odor usually come from old spills in the drawers and seals. Each part is cleaned and the inside wiped down before your food goes back.
Microwave and small appliance buildup
Over-the-range microwaves collect grease underneath as well as food inside. We clean both and wipe down toasters and other countertop appliances.
Stone counters dulled by the wrong cleaner
We match the cleaner to the counter: neutral products on natural stone, gentle cleaners on quartz and appropriate ones on laminate.
Dust and crumbs behind the fridge and range
Pulling the refrigerator and range out reveals dust, crumbs and lost items that no daily routine touches. We move them carefully, clean the floor and walls, and slide them back.
Baked-on oven grime
Spills carbonize on the oven floor, door glass and racks. We scrape and clean them with products that are safe for the oven interior, including between the door glass where we can reach.
Getting a kitchen ready for a move
Moving out or moving in, an empty kitchen is the best time for inside-everything cleaning. We clean it so it is ready to use the same day.
Grimy floor and grout
A floor that looks dull right after mopping has residue on it. We strip that buildup and clean the grout lines and edges.
Our cleaning checklist
- Walk-through and prioritiesWe go over the kitchen with you, note the finishes and agree on what is included, such as inside the oven or the fridge.
- Protecting floors and nearby roomsWe cover the floor where appliances roll out and protect the openings to nearby rooms.
- High areas firstWe start up high so dust and drips fall onto areas that have not been cleaned yet.
- Hood and filtersFilters are removed and degreased, and the hood canopy and light covers are wiped clean.
- Inside the appliancesWe clean the inside of the oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher, including seals and filters.
- Counters, sink and fixturesStone gets pH-neutral cleaner, the sink is scrubbed and the faucet and drain area are cleaned.
- Final check with youYou look it over with us at the end, and we fix any spot that was missed.
How we clean different surfaces
HEPA vacuumsUsed for crumbs and dust inside cabinets, behind appliances and along the toe kicks.
Low-odor and fragrance-free optionsWe can work with fragrance-free products when you prefer them, and we tell you what we use.
Non-scratch pads and microfiberMicrofiber picks up dirt instead of pushing it around and leaves fewer streaks on stainless.
Finish-safe degreasersWe use degreasers matched to each finish, so the grease comes off and the finish stays put.
Steam for grout and appliancesSteam loosens grease in grout joints, oven corners and around burners with less chemical use.

Kitchen Deep Cleaning questions from Elmhurst homeowners
How often should a kitchen be deep cleaned?
It depends on how much you cook. Heavy cooking means grease returns faster, especially near the range.
What does a kitchen deep clean include?
Top to bottom: cabinet tops and fronts, hood, backsplash, appliances inside and out, sink, counters and floor, with behind-the-appliance cleaning included.
Do you clean inside the oven and fridge?
Yes, both are part of our deep clean, along with the microwave and the dishwasher filter.
How long does it take to deep clean a kitchen?
We give you a time estimate after the walk-through. Inside-cabinet and inside-oven cleaning add the most time.
What is the difference between regular and deep cleaning?
Routine cleaning covers what you can see; deep cleaning handles grout, filters, appliance interiors and the hidden floor.

Elmhurst's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased from DuPage Water Commission (supplied by City of Chicago); standby wells are emergency backup; reported hardness is About 144 mg/L as CaCO3, roughly 8 grains per gallon. We plan fittings and filters around it.
