We clean homes across Stoughton

Older Stoughton houses collect more dust

Around the center of Stoughton, many of the houses are older colonials and Victorians. Further out, the side streets fill with capes and ranches built after the war, along with split-levels and newer colonials. Each kind of house cleans a little differently, and the age of the house tells us where to look. The older houses have radiators and deep window trim, and both are flat spots where dust settles and stays.

Radiators are the worst for it. Dust packs in between the fins, and when the heat comes on in the fall the room fills with a burnt smell. Old double-hung windows collect grit in their tracks, so the sash sticks and the sill turns gray. Heating season here runs long, so that dust has months to build. If nobody cleans those spots, a house can look tidy and still leave people sneezing all winter.

So on a Stoughton house we clean the flat surfaces most people skip. The crew wipes down radiator fins and baseboards, and vacuums the grit out of window tracks before washing the sills. A deep cleaning visit goes further, into the backs of closets and behind furniture that has not moved in years. Regular visits after that keep the dust from building back up, and we can book them for evenings or weekends.

• Radiator fins and baseboards wiped down
• Grit vacuumed out of window tracks
• Salt film washed off entry floors
• Closets and behind furniture on deep cleans
• Eco-friendly, non-toxic products in every room

Winter salt ends up on Stoughton floors

Stoughton sits inland, away from the salt air of the coast, but winter brings salt of its own. Salt and sand go down on Washington Street and the side roads after every storm. That mix sticks to boots and car mats and gets walked straight through the front door. On hardwood and tile it dries into a white film, and on carpet it grinds into the fibers where a vacuum cannot get it out.

Left alone, that salt does real damage. It dulls the finish on wood floors and scratches it like fine sandpaper under every footstep. In the grout by the back door it builds into a crust. Carpet at the entry turns stiff and gray. By March many houses have a worn path from the door to the kitchen, and regular vacuuming will not fix it.

We treat the entry as its own job in the winter months. Salt film comes off hard floors with a wet wash rather than a dry mop, and the grout gets scrubbed. Our carpet and upholstery cleaning pulls the ground-in salt out of rugs and the chair by the door. In the spring, yellow pollen from the pines and oaks coats sills and screens, and our window cleaning covers the glass inside and out.

We also clean for Stoughton businesses

The center of Stoughton is a busy downtown, with shops and offices around the square and a long stretch of businesses on Washington Street. We clean office spaces and retail stores here with the same eco-friendly, non-toxic products we use in houses. A store entry takes the same winter salt as a front hall at home, with many more feet crossing it every day. Because we offer evening and weekend scheduling, the floors can get done after you close.

When an older Stoughton house or storefront gets renovated, the dust is the part that hangs around. Drywall and sanding dust is fine enough to float in the air. It settles on top of door frames and inside cabinets, then drifts back down for weeks if the cleanup is rushed. Our post-construction cleaning goes over the whole space after the contractors pack up, so the rooms are ready to live or work in.

Some surfaces in a business need more than cleaning. In a busy shop on Washington Street, the door handles and restroom fixtures get touched all day, and so does the break room counter. Our sanitization service disinfects those spots, which goes a step past wiping them down. It fits any business where staff and customers share the same rooms. The team members who come in are background-checked and trained, and every job carries our satisfaction guarantee.
