We clean Randolph homes and businesses

How we clean a Randolph cape or ranch

A lot of Randolph was built after the Second World War, so many side streets are lined with capes and ranches, with split-levels mixed in. Older houses sit closer to the center along Main Street. The layout changes the work. A cape puts its bedrooms upstairs under sloped ceilings, with knee walls and small closets tucked under the roof. Dust settles on every ledge up there, because nobody looks at it until a guest is sleeping in that room.

Many of these houses heat with hot-water baseboard along the outside walls. The thin metal fins behind the covers catch dust and pet hair all summer. When the heat comes on in the fall, it warms that layer, and the whole house smells like burnt dust. Where the front covers come off, we pull them and vacuum the fins, then wipe each cover before it goes back on. It is easy to skip, and plenty of owners never know the fins are there.

Split-levels and raised ranches add short runs of stairs and a lower level that sits partly below ground. That room is often carpeted, and through a humid summer it stays cooler and damper than the rest of the house. Carpet down there holds moisture and smell, so it is usually where our carpet cleaning makes the biggest difference. Upstairs, bathrooms from that era may still have the original tile. Those grout lines come clean with a stiff brush, and a quick wipe leaves the dirt in them.

• Knee walls and dormer sills dusted upstairs
• Baseboard heater fins vacuumed, covers wiped
• Lower-level carpet deep cleaned
• Old bathroom grout scrubbed by hand
• Stair treads and railings wiped on every level

Randolph winters track salt into the house

Randolph gets a full New England winter, and the plows keep the roads salted and sanded from the first storm to the last. All of it comes home on boots. Salt dries into a white film on hardwood and tile inside the door. Sand gets ground into the floor finish every time someone crosses it, and the entry mat fills up faster than anyone shakes it out.

A dry mop just pushes salt around. It takes warm water and a gentle cleaner to lift it without dulling the floor, and near a busy door it can take two passes. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products, which matters in a mudroom where kids and dogs are on the floor all winter. Cleaning it off regularly through the season keeps the finish from wearing into a gray path between the door and the kitchen.

Spring brings its own mess. The oaks and pines around town, and the woods up toward the Blue Hills, put out a yellow coat of pollen in May. It settles on every sill and screen, then comes inside the first warm day someone opens a window. That is a good time for window cleaning inside and out, with the tracks and sills wiped clear of winter grit while we are there.

We clean up after moves and remodels

When a Randolph house or apartment changes hands, the empty rooms show everything the furniture was hiding. There is a dust line where the dresser stood and grease on the wall behind the stove. A move-out clean goes after all of it, down to the inside of every cabinet and drawer. Sellers and landlords use it to hand over a place that is ready for the next people.

If you are buying in Randolph, you may get the keys to a house someone cleaned in a hurry on the way out. A move-in clean works best before the boxes arrive, while every cabinet is empty and every floor is bare. We can add sanitization for the kitchen and bathrooms. Rooms where the last owners kept pets can get a carpet cleaning before your furniture goes down.

Remodeling one of Randolph's older houses makes a fine dust that travels. Sanding joint compound is the worst of it, and cutting tile is close behind. The dust drifts into rooms that were closed off and settles on every ledge and inside the heater covers. Our post-construction cleanup works from the ceiling down, so anything we knock loose lands on floors we have not done yet. A broom sweep at the end of the job leaves most of that dust behind, and it keeps coming back until someone removes it.
