House Cleaning in Walnut Hills, Cincinnati

Most of Walnut Hills was built between 1880 and 1920, so if your house is one of the Queen Anne, Italianate or Second Empire homes on these streets, it is carrying well over a century of original surfaces. Clean and Dusted works in those houses and in the restored apartment buildings around Peebles Corner, and we scope every visit around your home rather than selling you a package.

What a Walnut Hills House Cleaning Includes

Every visit covers your whole house, and we work top to bottom and left to right so that nothing gets skipped.

Kitchen

Kitchens in these houses are often narrow, with a pantry off the back and cabinets that run to the ceiling. We clear the counters and wipe them down, lift everything off and put it back, and clean the cabinet fronts, the backsplash, the appliance fronts and the inside of your microwave and sink. Floors are mopped and the trash goes out.

Bathrooms

Original hex tile and a clawfoot tub need a lighter hand than a modern surround. We scrub the shower and fixtures, clean and dry the tile, and work the grout as part of the standard visit rather than as a deep-clean upgrade. The toilet is done top to bottom, base and behind included.

Bedrooms and living spaces

Ceilings here run high and the windows are tall, so dusting reaches further than it would in a newer house. We dust the surfaces and the sills, make the beds and vacuum the floors.

Everywhere else

We take down cobwebs, clean mirrors and light fittings, and high dust the picture rails, transoms and the tops of door frames. Newel posts and stair spindles get wiped by hand, because on a staircase this old that is where everything collects.

We work the surrounding neighbourhoods on this side of town too, from East Walnut Hills and Mt. Auburn across to Hyde Park.

Cleaning Victorian Homes in Walnut Hills

A Victorian needs a different approach, and if yours still has its original finishes you have probably worked that out the hard way already.

Quarter-sawn oak was the standard when these houses went up, and the finish on it is thin after a century. We keep to a mild product on original floors, because once that finish goes it does not come back without a sander. Horsehair plaster chalks if you lean on it, so walls, switch plates and door casings are wiped down rather than scrubbed.

Cast-iron radiators sat in these houses long before central air did. We get down into the fins and along the wall behind them, which is usually the source of the dust you keep noticing an hour after cleaning. Your built-ins, picture rails, newel posts and deep window sills are all hand-wiped, because in a house like yours those are the surfaces that collect it. Rookwood tile around a fireplace gets wiped by hand rather than sprayed, and high ceilings mean the cobwebs and the tops of the door frames need a pole rather than a glance.

Walnut Hills Area by Area

What your home needs depends a great deal on where in Walnut Hills you happen to be, so here is how we adapt to each part of it.

Around Peebles Corner

The buildings around East McMillan and Gilbert have been brought back one by one, and developments like Paramount Square and Trevarren Flats turned historic shells into apartments. If you live in one you have less square footage and a lot more turnover on your floor, so we are booked here for move-in and move-out cleans as often as for a recurring schedule.

The Victorian Streets

The Queen Anne and Italianate houses on the surrounding streets went up between 1880 and 1920 and hold a lot of original woodwork, tall windows and stairs. If you are in one of those we will usually start you with a deep clean and move you onto a recurring schedule from there.

Toward Eden Park

Closer to Eden Park the houses get larger and the rooms get taller. You are likely to have original plaster, hardwood throughout and more glass than a newer home, so interior windows, sills and ledges take up more of the visit than they would elsewhere.

Renovated and Newer Builds

Some of Walnut Hills has been rebuilt or fully renovated, including the single-family homes added around Peebles Corner. If your house has new floors, new tile and modern fixtures the scope changes: less hand-wiping of original surfaces, more attention to keeping new finishes from being dulled by the wrong product.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Im new to the area and couldn’t be more satisfied with this company. My neighbors recommended I give them a try and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service they provided. They all were very friendly, they worked at a fast pace and was very professional with feed back when I had questions. Definitely plan to use them in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Walnut Hills homeowners ask most before booking. Have one we didn’t cover? Call us at (859) 443-0941.

How much does house cleaning cost in Walnut Hills?

Recurring house cleaning runs $135 to $295 per visit. The figure depends on the size of your home and how often we come, it is flat-rate rather than hourly, and you have it in writing before the crew arrives. $135 is the bottom of that range and it is one specific case: a one-bedroom, one-bathroom home on weekly service. Most homes are bigger than that. Biweekly is the most common schedule we book, at $150 to $250 a visit, and a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on biweekly is $200. Walnut Hills runs from restored apartments around Peebles Corner to large Victorians on the surrounding streets, so we price the actual home rather than a package. The price covers the whole house top to bottom, kitchen and bathrooms through bedrooms, living spaces and floors. Inside the oven and inside the fridge are add-ons at $65 and $100, not part of a standard visit. A first-time deep clean is quoted separately at $325, $550 or $850 by size, move-in and move-out cleans run $500 to $995, and first-time customers save $75.

Can you clean around original woodwork and Rookwood tile?

Yes, and in Walnut Hills that is most of them. The great majority of these homes went up between 1880 and 1920 and still have the original floors, plaster walls and detailed trim. Fretwork, corner blocks and built-in cabinetry are hand-wiped, not run over quickly, and any Rookwood tile around a fireplace is cleaned by hand rather than sprayed. If a previous owner left you a particular product for the floors or the woodwork, set it out and we will use that instead of ours.

Do I need to be home while you clean?

No, and most people are not. Around Around Peebles Corner that usually means leaving us on a building access list or with a fob; on the residential streets it is normally a lockbox or a keypad code. However you let us in, it is the same crew at the door each visit, which matters more in a building where the entry is shared. If you would rather be there, we can book a window that suits you.

Is there a travel charge for Cincinnati?

Clean and Dusted is based in Florence and covers Cincinnati’s east side, including Walnut Hills. A $20 travel charge applies when the drive runs over thirty minutes. It is quoted up front along with everything else rather than added to the bill afterwards.
