Fort Lauderdale House and Condo Cleaning

Fort Lauderdale has 165 miles of waterways inside city limits, and a lot of homes sit right on them. If your backyard ends at a canal off Las Olas, salt air leaves a haze on your sliding glass doors and on the railing by your dock. Up on Galt Ocean Drive, a high-rise unit comes with its own routine: a parking garage, an elevator, maybe a front desk that wants names ahead of time. Give us your building's rules once. They go in your notes, and each visit follows them. You are not explaining the loading zone twice. Friendly Maids is based in Pompano Beach, a little way up the coast past Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

Closer to downtown, Victoria Park puts houses from the early 1900s next to brand-new townhouses. An older home there might be Florida cracker style, with a low roof, deep window sills, wood trim and a front porch that catches leaves from street trees. A newer townhouse brings stairs, glass rails and maybe a rooftop deck that gathers pollen. Both get a room-by-room checklist: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas. Want stair rails and every ceiling fan done each visit? Say so once. It is part of your plan from then on. If your older floors are wood or original tile, tell us what you use on them. We will not guess with a product your floors might not like.

Plenty of people host guests near the beach. If that's you, book turnovers between stays: beds made with the clean linens you leave out, baths reset, counters and stovetop wiped, trash bagged and sand swept off your tile. Wrapping up a lease downtown? A move-out clean the day after the movers leaves cabinets, closets and your oven wiped clean before your landlord's last look. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. When it winds down and your shutters come off, the dust they dropped on sills and floors is a good excuse for a deep clean. It is also a good time to catch mildew that crept into grout over the summer.
