Join the Opening List →Upper Arlington grew outward from its original Old Arlington neighborhood, where the first homes date to about 1917, and much of the city still reflects that early start. More than half of its homes were built before 1960, a sharp contrast with the newer suburbs to the north. Cleaning here is about respecting older materials while keeping up with family life in good-sized detached houses.
The original Old Arlington area was listed as a National Register historic district in 1985, recognized for its Twentieth Century Revival architecture. Its earliest homes date to about 1917 and 1918, according to the Upper Arlington Historical Society.
The rest of the city filled in over the following decades. Today about 74 percent of Upper Arlington housing is single family detached, and the median home dates to 1959.
With about 55 percent of homes built before 1960, Upper Arlington has a lot of plaster walls, hardwood floors, original tile baths, painted built-ins and wood windows. Those finishes respond best to mild, pH-neutral products and soft tools. Cleaners test anything new in a hidden spot and never sand, scrape or strip old paint; in homes built before 1978, chipped paint is a repair, not a cleaning job.
Where an older house has been updated, one home can mix 1950s oak floors with a modern glass shower. A good plan treats each surface on its own terms. The older homes guide covers the methods in detail.
Upper Arlington picks up most bulk items on the normal trash day, which makes clearing out before a deep clean simple. One rule catches people: upholstered furniture and mattresses must be wrapped in plastic. Cleaners do not haul large items, so set them out first.
Leaf collection usually runs from mid October to early December in about five rounds, with leaves placed on the grass behind the curb rather than in the street. Those weeks bring a lot of leaf litter indoors on shoes and paws.
Upper Arlington is inside the Columbus water service area. City water is softened but still moderately hard, so glass and chrome spot when water dries on them, especially in a remodeled bath with a large glass enclosure. In winter, Columbus averages about 103 nights below freezing, and salt tracked onto older hardwood is the main thing to keep off the floors.
