"Complete house cleaning by Alex and his team. They did a great job. Showed up on time and wasted no time getting to work. Pros: great hard working team, polite , responsive and very neat. The house looked and smelled great. Cons: took fridge apart to clean and didn’t reassemble completely. Not a big deal but took me some time to resolve. Also missed a couple of baseboards and wall outlets that were dusty. Again not a big deal. I would rate 4.5 stars if I could. I would recommend and rehire. "

"I contacted Erzsebet a week or so in advance letting her know the scope of the work to be done and my rough timeline. I was having the unit painted so I said I wasn't sure what day I would be ready, but was expecting things to be finished up on Friday. She told me she needed about 1 day notice and to text her once the painting was finished. It turned out the paint work finished early on Friday, and when I texted her, she offered to show up about two hours later to start cleaning, and did. She brought a few additional people along and they thoroughly cleaned the bathroom, the kitchen, all floors, and windows. It was a little more than two hours of work and everything is now clean and ready for my tenant to move in. I will absolutely hire Erzsebet Cleaning Services again."

"They were very professional, communicative, and friendly. The thing that surprised me the most was they cleaned the ceiling in my master bath. I will admit it's gross and I ignore it because we are about to remodel. They took the time and energy to see that detail and clean it. I am so impressed."

FAQs for walls & ceilings cleaning service projects in Palatine, IL

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.
