Kitchen cleaning problems we take care of in Palatine
Grease from cooking settles on every surface near the range and slowly turns into a tacky film that ordinary spray cleaners just smear. We cut it from cabinets, backsplash and hood, clean the appliances inside and out, and pull them out to reach the floor behind. That is what a kitchen deep clean means for Palatine homes we work in.
Messy cabinet interiors and drawers
Inside cleaning of cabinets and drawers is part of a deep clean when they are emptied. We vacuum the corners and wipe shelves and drawer bottoms.
Greasy range hood and filters
Grease on the hood surface and in the filters is the stickiest dirt in the kitchen. We remove the filters, degrease them and wipe the canopy and fan area we can reach.
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.
Sticky film on cabinet doors
The doors closest to the stove are usually the worst, along with the edges people grab. We clean faces, edges and the frame around every opening.
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.
Stained or dull sink and fixtures
We clean the sink, faucet, sprayer and the area around the drain, and remove scale from the aerator area where it builds up.
Splattered backsplash and grout
A backsplash that still looks speckled after wiping has grease set into it. Dwell time with the right cleaner and brushing the grout bring it back.
What the cleaning covers
- 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 firstCabinet tops, light fixtures, the hood and the upper walls are cleaned before anything below them.
- Degreasing cabinets and backsplashEvery door and drawer front is degreased and wiped, and the backsplash grout is scrubbed.
- Inside the appliancesOven, racks, microwave and refrigerator interiors are cleaned, plus the dishwasher filter and door edges.
- Behind and under appliancesWe move the large appliances, clean the hidden floor and wall areas, and set them back in place.
