The Challenge

A Highland Park rental property had just gone on the market. After years as a rental, it was in rough shape — grease buildup in the kitchen, soap scum caked on bathroom tile, carpet stains throughout, and a general layer of grime that made the home feel neglected. The listing agent had an open house scheduled for Saturday and couldn't even take listing photos. The sellers were embarrassed. They needed the property restored fast.

Our Approach

We had a 3-person team on-site by 8am Friday. This wasn't a standard cleaning — it was a full property restoration. We brought in our deep-cleaning equipment: commercial steamers, professional-grade degreasers, and tile restoration tools. The kitchen alone took 4 hours. Years of cooking residue had turned the backsplash yellow and left the range hood nearly opaque. The bathrooms required hands-and-knees scrubbing to restore the grout. Every surface, every corner, every forgotten spot got attention.
