West Bloomfield, MI: Three Cleaning Tasks Most Homeowners Miss

Three Cleaning Tasks Most Homeowners Miss in West Bloomfield, Michigan

Deep cleaning your West Bloomfield home can be a huge task. Whether you are getting ready to sell, just bought a new home, or just want to give your home a good cleaning, you’ve probably done everything from washing windows to steam cleaning carpets and tile. There are the small details that most homeowners in West Bloomfield miss, or just never think about. Those three features? Light fixtures, mirrors, and screens.

Why These Features Matter

Lights, screens, and mirrors are the features that bring light into your home. Sure, windows are important too, but so many homeowners have their windows cleaned on a regular basis, but still don’t think about their screens, light fixtures and mirrors. When we come into a client’s home and show them just how much gunk builds up on their lights and screens, most are really surprised. What surprises a West Bloomfield homeowner even more is when they realize how much brighter their spaces are just from cleaning the glass in light fixtures and getting the dirt and debris out of their screens. The same is true for a really clean mirror, most homeowners don’t realize how dirty their mirrors are, and are surprised at how crisp and bright their reflection is after a good cleaning.

Lights

The easy to reach lights in your home generally get more attention than the ones that hang from the high ceilings in entry ways, vaulted ceilings, and outdoor lighting. These features are important because they are sometimes the first things that visitors to your home notice. There’s nothing attractive about dirty, cobweb filled outdoor light fixtures. When we come to your home in West Bloomfield, we get deep into your light fixtures making sure they are free of dirt, grime, dead bugs and cobwebs. It’s the small details that matter and when it comes to making your home’s lighted spaces bright, a good cleaning is the best place to start.

Mirrors

This is probably a feature that you clean on a regular basis, especially the mirrors in your bathroom. However, most store bought cleaners don’t do a great job of getting your mirrors really clean, and some will even leave a film on the glass. Over time, especially in bathrooms, the steam and moisture from showers and sinks can also deposit a thin film of minerals on your mirrors, making them look dingy and less than shiny. Expert glass cleaners use cleaning products that will strip hard water spots, film from steam and cleaners, and make your mirrors look like new. Sometimes a professional cleaning will be good enough that a homeowner won’t have to replace a mirror that they thought was too old.

Screens

If you aren’t including a screen cleaning with your window cleaning, you should start. Screens can hold onto tons of dirt and debris, limiting the amount of light that can come through the fabric. Over time, this dirt and debris can make your screens weaker and susceptible to tears. Cleaning your screens on a regular basis keeps your rooms bright and increases the life of your screens. If this doesn’t inspire you to clean your screens, remember, when you open your windows, any breeze that comes through your screen will blow that dirt and debris stuck on your screen into your house, creating more cleaning work for you.
