Maintenance FAQs

How often should I deep clean my home?

We recommend a thorough deep cleaning every 3-6 months, depending on your household size, pets, and lifestyle. This includes cleaning areas that aren't part of your regular routine, such as behind appliances, inside cabinets, windows, and light fixtures. Seasonal deep cleaning (spring and fall) is particularly effective for maintaining a fresh and healthy home environment.

What's the best way to maintain wooden furniture?

For wooden furniture: dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth; avoid placing in direct sunlight or near heat sources; use coasters for drinks and protective pads for hot items; clean with a damp (not wet) cloth and mild soap when needed; and apply furniture polish every 3-6 months. For specific types of wood or finishes, always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

How can I prevent mold and mildew in bathrooms?

To prevent mold and mildew: ensure proper ventilation by using exhaust fans during and after showers; wipe down wet surfaces after use; fix any leaks promptly; clean regularly with mold-inhibiting products; keep shower curtains and liners spread out to dry; and consider using a dehumidifier if humidity is consistently high. For existing mold, use a solution of vinegar and water or commercial mold removers.

What maintenance does modular kitchen require?

Modular kitchen maintenance includes: wiping cabinets with a mild detergent weekly; checking and tightening hinges and handles quarterly; cleaning tracks of sliding systems monthly; immediately wiping spills on countertops; using cutting boards to prevent scratches; cleaning sink and faucets with appropriate cleaners; and checking under-sink areas for leaks monthly. For laminate surfaces, avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.

When should I consider professional maintenance services?

Consider professional maintenance services when: you notice significant wear or damage beyond basic cleaning; specialized equipment or expertise is needed; you're preparing your home for a special occasion; you want to extend the lifespan of high-value items; dealing with warranty claims; or when time constraints prevent you from doing thorough maintenance yourself. Professional services can also identify potential issues before they become major problems.
