House Cleaning in Glenora

What cleaning a Glenora home actually involves

Glenora was laid out in the 1910s on the high ground west of downtown, above the North Saskatchewan River valley. Its tree-lined streets are known across the city for their Arts & Crafts, Tudor and Craftsman character homes — and those homes clean differently than a new build.

Original hardwood, plaster walls, deep baseboards, radiators and crown moulding are part of Glenora’s charm, but they’re also dust traps that need the right touch. We clean original hardwood with minimal moisture so it isn’t damaged, hand-detail plaster and moulding, dust radiators and cold-air returns, and treat older leaded and single-pane windows gently rather than dousing them.

A few Edmonton realities show up here too. Our hard water leaves mineral scale on bathroom and kitchen fixtures, so we descale rather than scour and dull the finish. And from October through April, slush and river-valley grit get tracked into entryways and onto those hardwood floors — through winter we put extra attention on entry mats, thresholds and floor protection. Many Glenora properties also have finished basements, carriage houses or basement suites; we scope those into the quote up front so there are no surprises on the invoice.
