Every pet owner knows the feeling. You smell something suspicious and look up and see your favorite family pet doing something they shouldn't be: throwing up on your brand-new couch, peeing on the white carpet,  dragging outside muck inside, or pooping in the corner behind the couch. 

Your stomach drops. Pets are cute — yours are adorable, but in these moments, your pets spread bacteria, germs, fur, and dander throughout your house. While you might be used to these things and the smells in your home from your pets, guests might be more prone to allergic reactions or general discomfort from unwanted bacteria and dander from your pets. A [luxury home cleaning service](https://blog.hunterbestcleaning.com/cleaning-tips/southern-california-luxury-home-cleaning) is just the thing you need to keep dirt, dust, and grime — pet-related or not — from accumulating in your home.

Jan 5, 2023 4:13:56 PM

For whatever reason, your current cleaning service just isn't cutting it anymore. Your cleaner may have been great at first, but lately, you feel unsatisfied. You notice lingering cobwebs and dust bunnies immediately after an appointment; that stain on your carpet is still there, even after you asked your cleaner to remove it, and the new staff members always take a rude tone with you. 

You don't deserve that kind of treatment — and you certainly don't have to keep paying for that service. Give yourself the gift of a fresh start this [new year](https://blog.hunterbestcleaning.com/cleaning-tips/holiday-deep-cleaning) by leaving behind the cleaning service that no longer serves you. Instead, enter 2023 with a capable team at your side and leave your cleaner woes in the past!

After weeks of hosting parties, entertaining family, and exchanging gifts, the holidays are finally over. All you want to do is rest before you return to work, but you need to clean up from the festivities — and your home is a complete disaster. Soiled dishes, crumpled gift wrap, dirt, dust, and other debris overtake everything. There's a wine stain on the carpet, and your kitchen is still in chaos from all the cooking; this is the holiday hangover. It's a mess that haunts you into the New Year, meaning you won't get the clean start to 2023 you wanted. Good thing there's an easy hangover cure: a professional home cleaning.

Dec 2, 2022 1:55:53 PM

Using the same cleaning equipment to clean different surfaces around the house achieves the opposite effect. Instead of getting a clean and healthier place, doing so often promotes the harmful act of cross-contamination. Cross-contamination is the spread of pathogens from one surface to another that could be potentially dangerous to human or pet health. It occurs in various stages throughout the cleaning process, especially when using a single rag or cloth for multiple cleaning purposes. This post overviews how we prevent cross-contamination, including our effective color-coded rag system we use when cleaning.

Life is messy, and so is a home rental. You can't prevent every scuff and stain from affecting the place where you live. If you have kids, pets, or if you occasionally move your furniture, small amounts of damage are bound to occur. There are always little accidents that scratch the floor, stain the counter, or scuff a wall. These should count as normal wear-and-tear, but it's also common for landlords to keep some or all of the security deposit for things like almost-gone carpet stains and scuffs.

Oct 11, 2021 10:51:29 AM

The cleanliness of your house is important both for welcoming guests and the health and safety of your family. Of course, cleaning your house becomes a never-ending task. Dust is always getting into the house to grind into the carpet fibers and hide in the corners. Crud builds up on the stove, and grime gathers on damp surfaces in the bathrooms. Even spaces that don't seem like they should get dirty still need to be wiped down on a regular basis to get rid of dust and allergens hiding in your home.
