Kitchen cleaning problems we take care of in Villa Park
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 Villa Park homes we work in.
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
A move-in or move-out clean starts with an empty kitchen, which makes it easy to clean every shelf, drawer and appliance completely.
Refrigerator that smells or has spills
Inside the fridge, the drawers and the rubber door seal hold most of the mess. We clean them, along with the shelves and the outside handles.
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.
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.
Messy cabinet interiors and drawers
We clean inside the cabinets and drawers you empty for us, including the hinges and the under-sink base.
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.
What we clean
- Protecting floors and nearby roomsFloor runners and drop cloths go down where we move appliances or carry dirty water.
- Degreasing cabinets and backsplashDoor faces, frames, hardware and the backsplash get a finish-safe degreaser, then a clean rinse and dry.
- Hood and filtersWe soak the filters and clean the hood body while they dry.
- Inside the appliancesWe clean the inside of the oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher, including seals and filters.
- Behind and under appliancesRange and refrigerator are rolled out so we can clean the floor, the side walls and the gaps.
- 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.
Methods we use
Finish-safe degreasersCleaners strong enough to lift cooking grease but chosen for painted, stained, laminate or stainless surfaces.
Non-scratch pads and microfiberSoft pads and microfiber cloths that remove grime without scratching stainless or glossy finishes.
HEPA vacuumsA HEPA vacuum keeps fine dust in the machine instead of blowing it back into the room.
Steam for grout and appliancesHot steam helps lift stuck-on grime from tight spots that brushes have trouble reaching.
Low-odor and fragrance-free optionsIf someone in the house is sensitive to smells, ask us for low-odor and fragrance-free products.
