At PB Cleaning247, we want to make sure the only thing you’re getting from the former residents is their keys; not their dirt, dust, or grime.
We’ll come out for a deep clean of your brand-new digs – including the inside of your refrigerator and oven! With our move-in cleaning service, you’ll be able to rest easy and save all that energy for unpacking.
MOVE-OUT CLEAN SERVICE
No matter where your next move may take you, leaving your home looking as good, or better, than it did when you first moved in is a top priority. After all, the only thing you should leave behind is your noisy neighbors.
Once the packing is done, give PB Cleaning 247 a call so that we can give your former house, apartment, or condo the move-out cleaning it deserves. We’ll take care of the deep clean and let you focus on more important things, like what to buy with that newly returned security deposit.
Let us take a few things off your move-in or move-out to-do list
We would be happy to help you take care of your home.
You’ve got a kitchen and bath routine down. And you’ve got smart systems in place for managing clutter. The only enemy of a clean home from here? It’s dust.
It feels like no matter what you do or how often you clean, there’s always a layer of dust waiting to settle on to every surface in your home. And that’s sort of what’s happening; dust is just a common byproduct of life. But contrary to popular belief, it’s not mostly dead skin—the majority of household dust comes from dirt, pollen and other outdoor particles. So it is preventable, if you’re smart about it.
We all know that keeping your house clean and looking good is an ongoing process; it takes work. However, that doesn’t mean that cleaning needs to take up all of your free time. Make your dusting as efficient as possible with PbCleaning247’s 3 ways to save time when dusting and reclaim your free time today!
1. Dust before you vacuum
As you dust, bits of dirt and dust will fall to the floor. By dusting first and vacuuming second, you won’t have to vacuum the same floor twice.
2. Move top down
Similarly, when dusting wall units or shelves, start at the top. Begin by first lifting and dusting each object, and then dust the shelf (both underneath and behind the objects.)
3. Use microfiber
For best results use a damp, clean, microfiber cloth. To dampen the cloth, hold the cloth by a corner and lightly mist it with clean water from a spray bottle. You want the cloth to be damp enough to pick up dust without leaving moisture streaks behind on surfaces. Using this method will ensure that your home’s surfaces and furniture are cleaned in a safe and green way.
And PbCleaning247’s Basic Cleaning Service will help you get rid of dust. Free your precious time.

On a weekly basis, the daily tasks should be combined with mopping the kitchen floor. This is also when you should tackle the more involved dishwashing tasks, such as cleaning foggy wine glasses and polishing stained silver.
Monthly Kitchen Cleaning Tasks
Each month you should rid your cabinets, pantry and refrigerator of unnecessary items, outdated food and miscellaneous items that are no longer needed, maintaining the order of your cold- and room-temperature storage areas.
While doing this, you should also wipe down these areas to ensure nothing spilled out of old containers. If you don’t wipe these areas down, your fridge could quickly become foul-smelling.

From sauces that bubbled over to drips of gooey cheese now burnt, your oven is a canvas for spills and splatters of all kinds. And when it comes to cleaning it, chances are you’re not. But tackling this appliance doesn’t have to be a heavy lift, and you don’t need to spend extra money on special cleaning products, either. In fact, all you need to make your oven sparkle again are two pantry staples, likely already in your kitchen: baking soda and vinegar.

“These ingredients are great, all-natural cleaning agents, especially in place of many conventional oven cleaners which can often leave harmful residual vapors in your oven,” says Melissa Poepping, natural cleaning expert and author of the Chemical Free Home series. Both non-toxic and safe to use around food surfaces, baking soda (a natural alkali) and vinegar (a natural acid) work together to help lift off stubborn stains and grease for easy wiping. Smell of vinegar turn you off? Poepping says you can easily enhance your homemade cleaners with two to three drops of essential oil, particularly tea tree oil which can act as a natural degreaser. “For cleaning the oven glass, I also like to make a spray of equal parts water and distilled white vinegar with a few drops of added lemon oil for scent,” she says.
As for how often you should really be cleaning your oven, Poepping recommends every few weeks, though this will vary depending on how often you use your oven. And while the self-cleaning function can be a great “quick-fix” cleaning alternative, she notes, “You should still aim to deep clean your oven regularly! Think of it as less of a chore, and more of a preservation of your appliance. You likely spent a lot of money on your oven, why shouldn’t it be well-taken care of?”
Ready to roll up your sleeves? Here’s how to give your oven a deep clean.

1. Make a Paste
Stir together 3/4 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup warm water, noting that a large oven may require more paste. If you are adding any essential oils, you can do so here (two to three drops should suffice, but you may add more if desired).

2. Clean Oven Racks
Always take your racks out even if you are using your oven’s self-cleaning function; the heat during the cycle can warp racks. Once removed, let them sit in dishwashing liquid for a few hours, scrub with a scouring pad, and then rinse well and dry. If racks need heavy-duty cleaning, apply the paste. Only use on stainless steel racks; baking soda can discolor aluminum.

3. Apply the Paste
Fill any openings in the oven with foil. Using a paintbrush, spread the paste throughout the oven’s interior, avoiding bare metal surfaces and the oven door. To get into tight corners and tough spots, you can use an old toothbrush. Leave overnight.

4.Clean It Out
Remove the paste with a plastic scraper, wetting as needed. Wipe with a damp cloth, repeating to remove streaks.

Wipe the Door
Using a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar, clean the oven door with a soft cloth. Avoid wetting the gasket.

When cleaning your home, why not do it in such a way that’ll keep your home cleaner with less effort?
Here are 7 ways to keep your spring-clean fresh all year long:
1. Use Humidity to Defy Dust
Low humidity levels cause static electricity. Not only does static attract dust, It makes it stick, so it’s difficult to remove. High humidity causes problems, too — it’s an ideal environment for dust mites. These microscopic critters are a double threat: They’re a common allergen, and they contribute to dust production. There are as many as 19,000 dust mites in half a teaspoon of house dust, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Yuck!
What to do: Keep your home’s humidity level between 40% and 50%. That’ll eliminate static while decreasing dust mite growth.
Tip: About 80% of dirt in homes walks in from the outside. Stop dirt with a bristly doormat before it’s tracked inside.
2. Apply a Car Product to Keep Shower Doors Scum-Free
You can eliminate soap scum build-up by coating your glass shower doors with a rain-repellent product made for car windshields. When applied to glass, products like these create an invisible barrier that causes water, oils, and debris (like soap suds) to bead and roll off.
What to do: Find this product anywhere that sells basic auto supplies. You’ll know it’s time to reapply when water stops beading on shower doors. Keep in mind, windshield rain repellants were made to treat glass, not plastic, so only use on the glass door.
Another option: Automatic shower cleaners claim to let you clean your shower and tub less frequently — like every 30 days. After you finish bathing, the gadget will douse your shower and tub with a cleanser that prevents soap scum build-up while combating mold and mildew. You can buy automatic shower cleaners at most big-brand retailers, like Target and Walmart.
3. Seal Your Stone Countertops
Natural stone countertops, including granite and marble, are porous, so if they’re not sealed, liquids like red wine, juice, or soy sauce can stain them. A countertop sealer repels stains by causing spills to bead instead of getting absorbed. Most countertops are sealed when installed, but the sealant does wear down.
What to do: To keep your countertops in tip-top shape, re-apply sealer twice a year. To see if you need a fresh coat, pour a tiny bit of water on your natural stone countertop. If the water doesn’t bead or doesn’t stay beaded for two to three minutes, it’s time to reseal.
Shopping for stone countertops? Slabs with lots of swirls or veins tend to be more porous, and, therefore harder to keep clean.
4. Use Protectants on Furniture and Carpets
Protective furniture sprays and carpet sealants, like Scotchgard and Ultra-Guard, guard against inevitable spills by causing liquids to bead on the surface instead of being absorbed.
Some of these products also protect fabrics from fading and resist mold, mildew, and bacteria.
What to do: Apply the appropriate sealer once a year after a deep upholstery and carpet cleaning.
5. Clean Your Oven the Old-Fashioned Way
Forget oven cleaners that promise an easy job. Most cleaners give off noxious fumes and make a horrible mess. The basic ingredient in many oven cleaners is lye, which can burn your eyes and your skin; it’s usually fatal if swallowed.
What to do: Use a wet pumice stone to scrape off dirt and grease. It’s faster than oven cleaner and toxin-free.
Tip: Need to wipe your range or anything else down? You can bust filth faster by heating up a clean, damp sponge or cloth in a microwave for 30 seconds before wiping with or without a cleaning product. Put on rubber gloves before you pick up that hot sponge.
6. Do Quick Touch-Ups
Small cleaning projects prevent filth from building up. When you spot clean daily, you can prevent smudges from staining, banish dust bunnies, and even combat allergens.
What to do: Create a spot-cleaning kit so you can address small, dirty situations in minutes.
Cleaning pads are great for eradicating dirty fingerprints on walls and light switches.
Damp micro-cloths can reduce airborne dander when used daily to wipe down pets.
Dry sweeper cloths can quickly pick up dust and dry dirt off floors, shelves, and electronics.
Tip: Keep stored items cleaner longer by shutting closets, cabinets, and drawers, so circulating dust and dirt can’t get in.
7. Update Your Light Bulbs
Okay, It’s not really cleaning. But good lighting can make you and your home look and feel great — and help you spot that spill before it gets funky.
A room lit with low-wattage incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescents can look dark and dingy. “Daylight” bulbs brighten things up. These full-spectrum light bulbs mimic natural light, so they give better visual accuracy. Bonus: Like sunlight, these bulbs can boost your mood.
What to do: When shopping for bulbs, look for those marked “daylight” that have a range between 5,000 to 6,500 kelvins.

If you really want to prevent pests from invading your home you have to stop the problem before it starts. That’s right, prevention is the best medicine when it comes to winning the battle against household rodents, insects, and all those other creepy critters. With that in mind, the following 5 tips will help you prevent pests from entering your home.
1. Fill-In the Cracks
All those cracks and crevices around your home windows, door frames, siding, and brick exteriors are basically open doors for insects. Likewise, gaps and holes in interior walls due to plumbing and wiring are another wide-open entrance for critters.
In order to prevent these little breezeways from becoming insect attractions, you must fill-in the gaps. For cracks and crevices, slowly apply a line of block ensuring the space is adequately filled. Larger openings in your homes interior walls may call for a plasterboard patch to properly seal the potential pest entrance
2. Screen-Out Unwanted Visitors
Almost all homes have openings that are just part of the structure design and function. For instance, the openings in your roof eaves are there to vent the roof cavity and the crawl space on the side of the house acts as an access point for raised foundation homes.
Just because these openings are necessary doesn’t mean pests can use them as they please. Cover your vents with steel porch screen to prevent rodents from entering your roof cavity. Likewise, a piece of plywood or framed screen is another great deterrent for critters trying to gain access through openings on the side of your home.
3. Take Out the Trash
Putting food away everyday is a great way to keep cockroaches and ants out of your kitchen, but that rubbish bin is pretty tempting. Even if your kitchen rubbish bin has a lid, its best to not only take your trash out every night, but also make sure your outdoor bin is well away from the house.
The absence of food scraps will definitely keep those hungry kitchen creatures away. But if kitchen pests do become a consistent problem, its best to call a pest control professional to prevent any further infestation.
4. Cleanup the Clutter
Household clutter makes the perfect hiding and breeding place for pests of all kinds. Make your house that much more pest-free by cleaning up the clutter. Vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning your house on a regular basis will also reduce the likelihood of pests setting up shop in your home.
5. Groom the Family Pets
Cats and dogs are like city buses for outdoor pests looking for a one-way ride into your home. Since its impossible to thoroughly wash your pets everyday, brushing them when they enter the house will reduce the risk of any bugs that are along for the ride.
In addition, using monthly flea and tick treatments is another great way to make sure your pets aren’t creating a pest problem. While you’re at it, spray your yard with grass-safe flea and tick treatment to create a bug-free barrier around your home.
By following the prevention tips above, you can stop your home from turning into a roach motel.
