About Us

Granny's Way House Cleaning Chores, LLC washes each client's individual bag of cloths, dusters, mop heads & rags apart from anything else in the washer & hang dry inside on a clothesline marked with the name. Then the items are folded & placed back into the same bag for the next service of that client's home or office. This prevents cross-contamination, pet homes from non-pet homes or cat homes vs dog homes from being mixed together. There is no pollen in the air to cause allergies & no scents from detergents, no chemicals from dryer sheets, no feathers in dusters for those who are prone to sensitivities to these products.

Also, different vacuums are used in homes without pets, with cats & with dogs. Each time a vacuum is used, it goes through a thorough cleaning to be fresh & clean for the next client. Most clients prefer their own vacuum to be used, so their vacuum gets the same thorough cleaning after it is used by Granny's Way House Cleaning Chores, LLC.

The best way to determine a length of cleaning in your home due to each home being unique with specific needs & finishes is to have a trial cleaning done. To help determine an estimate it is helpful to know the sqft & your overall specific needs & expectations should be communicated. Text message, email & meeting in person is easiest for this. Initial info is taken from looking up the address of your location & seeing a rough guestimate of finishes and floor types & number of glass shower walls & mirrors, if photos are provided. This is a good first start in giving an estimate of time. Granny's Way House Cleaning Chores, LLC's experience from cleaning will give time estimates for each room & appliance or load of laundry that needs to be done. Different cleaning personnel clean at different rates & standards, so having knowledge of a previous home cleaning professional may be used as a guide, but not a race as to when the job should be finished. Granny's Way House Cleaning Chores, LLC does not like anything half done, if there is a task that requires more time or effort to cleanup than anticipated, it gets done and not mentioned sometimes, as opposed to being left a mess for the client to look at & clean up afterwards. With the combination of sqft, items to be cleaned such as appliances or glass & mirrors, floor materials it should get us both understanding the time & effort for your specific needs & unique finishes in your home to get an estimate of time. You pay per hour, so we multiply the hourly rate times the number of hours I work. There are blocks of time that can be reserved to make it easier to have a start & end time for busy days or maybe if there are specific needs, but not a typical cleaning of the whole home. They can be 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, or more. Expectations & needs stillneed to be communicated for planning of what products, items to bring & PPE is needed.

Each home is unique in the desired needs of cleaning. Some homes have minimal decor, with no pets or children in the home. These homes typically take less time than a home with photos, decorations & personal items to be moved or cleaned / dusted or homes with pets or children in the home. Deep cleanings require more effort & take more time than regular detailed cleanings. Glass such as windows, glass doors or walls in bathrooms, mirrors, & sliding doors all take time to remove soap, water, debris & dust. Homes with these that are requested to be cleaned each time take longer than homes that do not request these to be done.

A property turn-over cleaning is more in-depth than a weekly or monthly cleaning, as it is like a move-out & move-in cleaning, ensuring no items were left behind & setting up for the next guest. Less Sqft does not mean less time. Each home has different needs & services, so each home has its own unique amount of time it will take to perform.

Most cleaning appointments are 3-5 hours in length. the first appointment will take longer, as the place is new & the routine & supplies or finishes are not familiar. Once a home is cleaned 2 or 3 times, more can be done in the time, so the home gets additional added on items or is finished sooner. The add-ons are either one time or regular as needed items that are used to fill in the time or to be cleaned as they are needed & add time in future cleaning sessions. Chores, such as laundry are per hr and currently 2 clean loads are put away & hung up in 1 hr. Running the 1st 2 loads, adds time for the machines to do their jobs. Other cleaning or organizing drawers & closets can be done if requested in this time.

Bathrooms avg 1 hr, each, kitchen avg 45 mins to 1.5 hrs depending on if the sink has dirty dishes in it or if the dishwasher needs to be emptied, or if the stovetop is a cooktop or has burners to be removed & grates cleaned. Appliances are add-on that add to the time. They can be done with a cleaning or scheduled on a different day to be done as a set of chores.

No, due to severe allergies, Granny's Way House Cleaning Chores, LLC does not provide Pet Waste Cleanup, animal care or litter box scooping, changing, or cleaning. However, if there is a stain in the carpet or rug that has been treated previously by the owner, spot treatment or Hoover Wet Shampoo may be requested for infrequent & insignificant spot treatments when spot treatment cleaner is provided if the carpet or rug will be vacuumed as part of the scheduled cleaning.

Most newer dishwashers have built-in washable filters that need to be cleaned regularly. I would look up the make, Model & SN of the dishwasher. There should be a product label on the top or side of the dishwasher door when it is open. Some filters can be removed with no tools, others need tools to remove the screen to access the filter. Cleaning the filter & interior of the dishwasher helps get your dishes cleaner, reduce odors from the dishwasher.
