"I had never hired a cleaning company before because I am a semi-horder and very embarrassed about my mess but I am so glad I hired Scrubbies. I loved their friendly and professional attitude, they didn't judge or make me feel bad for collecting so much junk! They cleaned my entire apartment and with they help of Seth, the owner, I had a blast helping them move all the junk into a skip. I have asked them to come back every 4 weeks to help me keep on track. If I could give more than 100% I would!"

"They scheduled the appointment the next day after I purchased from Angie's List. They arrived on time on the day scheduled. We had had other water damage in our home, and I asked for him to check for mold/mildew. He looked at my basement ceiling and kitchen floor--where the water damage was and said since it was so recent (approx 3 weeks) there was probably no mold/mildew buildup. He did test the moisture content in the kitchen floor.
I requested the name of someone he would recommend to do the ceiling repair and re-texturing. He told me he'd let me know as soon as he got back to the office. It's been seven weeks....must be a long trip to the office. I've never heard back from the
gentleman.
For this reason alone, I will not consider them in the future.
Did I get what I paid for? I don't know. I don't know how to check for mold/mildew myself--that was why I purchased the service.
Do I felt it was money well-spent? No. He was more worried about the job another company was doing replacing my floor, than actually what I had paid for him to do.
Satisfaction? nope.

FAQs for walls & ceilings cleaning service projects in Ames, NE

Plan on a light wall wash about once a month to keep dust, grease, and stains from settling in. If you have already hired a house-cleaning crew, which costs $15 to $40 per hour, ask them to incorporate this task into their regular visit. Most companies discount 15% to 20% when routine wall washing replaces an occasional, more labor‑intensive deep clean.

The best approach to cleaning walls depends on the type of paint you have. For oil-based finishes, mix warm water, a few drops of dish soap, and a splash of white vinegar. Then, wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth and rinse it thoroughly. Latex paint is more delicate—vacuum first, then use a dry sponge to lift any lingering dirt. Both methods preserve the finish without leaving streaks.

Drying is non‑negotiable after washing your walls. Leaving walls damp invites streaks, water spots, and even mold. After wiping, follow up with a clean towel, then use a squeegee or a box fan to remove the remaining moisture. Completely dry walls stay brighter and resist damage such as peeling, warping, or mildew growth.

Nicotine stains cling to walls and need a heavy‑duty approach. Cleaning professionals charge $200 to $1,000 to strip away the sticky residue with commercial degreasers, intensive scrubbing, and thorough rinsing. The service not only lifts the yellow film but also erases lingering odors, leaving the surface fresh and paint‑ready.
