We clean homes all over Walkertown

Walkertown has older ranches and newer subdivisions

Walkertown sits northeast of Winston-Salem, and it still has a small town feel. A lot of the houses here sit on wide lots with big trees around them. The mix runs from brick ranch houses that have stood for decades to newer subdivisions with bigger homes and open kitchens. Those two kinds of houses get dirty in different ways, and a cleaner who treats them the same misses things in both. We plan each clean around the house we are standing in.

In an older brick ranch, most of the work is in the details. Hardwood floors need a damp mop that cleans the boards without soaking them, because standing water works into the seams and dulls the finish. Older tile bathrooms have wide grout lines that hold soap film and turn dark if they only get wiped. Baseboards and window sills collect a fine gray dust that nobody notices for months. When those spots get skipped long enough, it takes a deep clean to bring them back.

The newer houses bring a different job. Open floor plans let the kitchen and living room share the same air, so cooking grease lands on cabinet fronts well past the stove. Stainless appliances show every fingerprint. Tall ceilings leave fan blades and high ledges out of easy reach, and that is where dust sits longest. We clean those spots with safe, green products, which matters in a house where kids and pets spend the day on the floor.

• Hardwood floors damp mopped, never soaked
• Bathroom grout scrubbed free of soap film
• Baseboards and window sills wiped down by hand
• Kitchen grease cleaned off cabinet fronts
• Fan blades and high ledges dusted

Pollen and red clay end up indoors

Every spring, pine pollen coats cars and porches across Forsyth County in a yellow film. Walkertown gets plenty of it, with so many trees around town. That dust does not stay outside. It rides in on shoes and clothes and through open windows, then settles on window sills and the tops of kitchen cabinets. For anyone in the house with allergies, a spring deep clean that pulls pollen out of the corners and off the ledges is worth doing.

The Piedmont soil here is red clay, and after a wet day it comes into the house on boots and paws. On tile and vinyl it dries into an orange film that a quick sweep leaves behind. Grout near the back door slowly turns the color of the yard. We mop entry floors with care and wipe the door frames and lower walls where the clay splashes. With a dog in the house this becomes a weekly job, and a standard cleaning on a regular schedule keeps it from building up.

Summers in the Triad are hot and humid, and that shows up in the bathroom first. Mildew starts in shower corners and along the caulk, most of all in older bathrooms with small windows or a weak exhaust fan. Kitchen surfaces get tacky too, because grease holds onto moisture in the air. On a deep clean we scrub those spots rather than wipe over them. Our green products are safe to have in a closed-up house with the air conditioning running.

We clean for Walkertown families and seniors

Take Care Cleaning is a Black-owned, woman-owned business based in Kernersville, a short drive from Walkertown. We clean houses for families, and a family home needs a clean that is safe for everyone in it. Our products are green and chosen with kids and pets in mind. You do not have to worry when the baby crawls across a freshly mopped floor. We put the same care into your house that we give our own.

We also clean for seniors. If you have lived in the same Walkertown house for a long time, some jobs get harder every year. Scrubbing a tub means kneeling on hard tile. Reaching the top shelves means climbing a step stool, and a fall off a step stool is the last thing anyone needs. We take those jobs off your list. We put things back where you keep them, so the house still feels like yours when we leave.

Busy professionals are the other people we clean for. If your work week leaves no time to clean, a standard cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the house in shape between deep cleans. Moving is another good time to call. An empty house shows everything, from the dust line where a couch sat to the grime where the fridge stood. We do moving-related cleaning for the house you are leaving and for the one you are moving into, so neither one starts out dirty.
