Kitchen cleaning problems we take care of in Skokie
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 Skokie homes we work in.
Dust and crumbs behind the fridge and range
Most kitchens have never been cleaned behind the fridge. We protect the floor, roll the appliances out, clean the gap and the sides, and reset them.
Greasy range hood and filters
Mesh and baffle filters clog with grease and stop pulling smoke well. We soak and degrease them and clean the hood body inside and out.
Grimy floor and grout
Mopping alone pushes dirt into the corners. We scrub the floor, clean along the baseboards and toe kicks, and rinse so no film is left.
Microwave and small appliance buildup
Splatter inside the microwave and on the vent above the range is cleaned off, along with the turntable and door.
Splattered backsplash and grout
Behind the cooktop, splatter dries onto tile and settles into the grout lines. We pre-treat the area, scrub the joints and rinse off the residue.
Stone counters dulled by the wrong cleaner
Granite, marble and quartzite need pH-neutral products. Acidic cleaners and vinegar can etch marble and wear down a sealer, so we never use them on stone.
Stained or dull sink and fixtures
Mineral crust around the faucet base and a dull sink basin come clean with the right product and some scrubbing.

Kitchen Deep Cleaning questions from Skokie homeowners
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not for the whole visit. We need access at the start to go over the plan and someone at the end for the walk-through, if possible.
Are your products safe for kids and pets?
We use common household-grade cleaning products, rinse food-contact surfaces and can use milder options if you ask.
What is the difference between regular and deep cleaning?
Regular cleaning keeps surfaces tidy. A deep clean removes built-up grease and reaches inside, under and behind things.
What does a kitchen deep clean include?
Everything a regular clean does plus the hidden parts: inside appliances, hood filters, grout, cabinet doors and the floor under and behind appliances.
How often should a kitchen be deep cleaned?
Often seasonally or before the holidays. Between deep cleans, wiping the stove area and hood filters regularly makes a big difference.

Skokie's water source: Treated Lake Michigan water purchased from the City of Evanston. We plan fittings and filters around it.
