Join the Opening List →Arnold is mostly a place of family houses: about 70 percent of housing units are detached homes, and about 86 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied. Most of those houses have now been around for several decades. TotalCare Cleaning will service Arnold, including the Broadneck area, and this page explains what that work will involve.
More than half of the homes in Arnold, about 54 percent, were built in the 1970s and 1980s. That gives the place a fairly consistent character, unlike the city of Annapolis, where about 15 percent of homes date to 1939 or earlier and about 30 percent of units are in buildings of five or more.
College Parkway is the local spine. Anne Arundel Community College, established in 1961, has its main campus at 101 College Parkway, and the county is building the Broadneck Peninsula Trail, a paved path of about 8 miles along the same road, in phases. For a household that uses the trail, that means a little more grit at the door.
A house from the 1970s or 1980s is at a particular point in its life. It is too new to have antique finishes but old enough that original tile and grout, shower doors, window tracks and vanity tops have seen decades of use. Some may have been updated in pieces, so one bathroom may be new while the other is not. A first deep clean often shows the biggest change in the areas nobody has reached for years: the tops of fans, the vents, the baseboards behind furniture.
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, so any flaking paint should be left alone and looked at by a qualified contractor. Cleaners should never sand or scrape it. After a first visit, most families settle on a recurring plan. The deep cleaning guide has the full list, and the recurring guide can help with frequency.
Anne Arundel County's public water system has seven service areas, including a Glen Burnie/Broadneck zone, and the county treats its well water with aeration, lime to adjust pH, and coagulation and filtration steps that remove solid particles such as iron. Check your bill or the county site to confirm your zone. Whatever the supply, drying shower glass after use is a simple habit that keeps a door clearer, and a deep clean will treat existing hard water spots.
A detached house has a yard, and a yard brings the outdoors in. University of Maryland Extension notes that the long Mid-Atlantic spring brings pollen heavy enough to coat car windshields, so sills, screens and entry floors need attention then. It also says stink bugs can become a nuisance indoors in the fall as they seek shelter, and it lists the county among those with moderate spotted lanternfly infestation. A coarse mat at each door, a rinse of the deck now and then, and clean window tracks go a long way. The seasonal calendar sets these out in order.
