We keep Kiryas Joel homes spotless

Most Kiryas Joel homes are newer and attached

Kiryas Joel is one of the most tightly built places in Orange County. Most families live in attached townhouses and multistory apartment buildings rather than single houses on big lots. A lot of that housing is fairly new, and more goes up all the time. That changes the job. There is less yard to track mud in from, but far more stairs, and the same few rooms see heavy use from morning to night.

New construction leaves a fine gray dust behind that a broom and a quick mop never pick up. It settles on top of door frames, on cabinet shelves, in window tracks and along baseboards. It also keeps drifting out of the vents for a while after the builders leave. Move furniture in before it is gone and it works its way into rugs and couches, and you end up fighting it for months. That is why a deep clean in a new unit is its own job.

We work from the top of each room down, so dust knocked off a door frame lands on a floor we have not cleaned yet. Cabinets and closets get wiped inside before anything goes into them, and the floors are the last thing we touch. One customer hired us for a deep clean at a new spa. Afterward they wrote, "Every tiny detail was taken care of and every tiny space was left spotless." A new apartment gets the same treatment.

• Fine dust wiped off door frames and trim
• Cabinets and closets wiped inside before move-in
• Window and door tracks cleaned out
• Stair treads and railings cleaned top to bottom
• Appliances cleaned inside and out

Winter salt gets carried up the stairs

Orange County winters are long and wet, and the streets and sidewalks around the village get salted and sanded for months. In a detached house most of that mess stops at the back door. In a townhouse or an apartment building it goes up the stairs on boots and stroller wheels and ends up inside every unit on the floor. Nobody notices it building up until the floors start to look dull.

Salt is the part people underestimate. It dries into a white film on hardwood and tile. If it sits, it dulls the finish and gets ground into the wood grain and the grout lines. A wet mop on its own often just spreads it thinner across the room. It has to be lifted and rinsed, with extra time at the front door and in the kitchen, where most of the traffic ends up. Rugs by the entry get the same attention, because they hold far more salt than they show.

Summer brings the opposite problem. The Hudson Valley gets humid, and bathrooms in newer, tighter buildings do not always dry out between showers. Soap film and mildew start in the grout lines and along the tub caulk, and a quick wipe of the tile skips right over them. We scrub the grout itself. One customer wrote after a visit, "My bathroom grout also basically looks brand new!"

We also clean rentals and offices here

Plenty of apartments in the village are rented, and when one tenant moves out, the next expects to walk into a clean unit. Rental properties and property management cleaning are both services we offer. Changing tenants follows the same order as a deep clean, with the kitchen and bathrooms scrubbed first and the floors done last on the way out. The landlord gets a unit that is ready to show, and the new tenant does not start out scrubbing someone else's stove.

Offices and other businesses in the village deal with the same foot traffic as the homes, and the same winter salt at the door. We clean offices and workplaces on a plan built around how each space is used. That way the floors and restrooms get kept up instead of rescued every few months. Someone who works at a salon we clean wrote, "Walking in after she’s been there makes such a difference."

OCD Cleaning Services is a woman-owned company based in Pine Bush, and we drive over to Kiryas Joel for work across the village. Customers mention the owner, Jackie, by name in their Google reviews. We hold a 5.0 rating from 183 reviews, and the thing people bring up most is deep cleaning, followed by the crew showing up on time. We work Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
