Kettering, OH
Kettering boomed after the war, so most homes date from before 1980. That means sturdy houses with decades of detail, plus loose leaf season and a single trash hauler.

Join the Opening List →Kettering went from a township to one of Ohio's fastest growing cities in about a generation, and its streets still show it. TotalCare Cleaning will service Kettering, including Kettering Hills and Lincoln Park, on the same table as the rest of the Dayton area.
Greenmont Mutual Housing Corporation built more than 500 single family homes in what is now Kettering in just over six months in 1942 and 1943, for wartime workers. Van Buren Township voters incorporated the Village of Kettering in 1952, and a 1955 special census count of 38,118 residents earned it city status.
The city says it was the fastest growing city in Ohio during the postwar Baby Boom, and its population nearly doubled after 1955. That burst is still visible. The median home was built in 1961, about 86 percent of housing units predate 1980 and only about 4 percent were built in 2000 or later.
Homes from this era were often built to a simple, durable plan, and their age shows mostly in the details. Baseboards, window tracks and vents have had around sixty years to collect buildup, and bathrooms may be on their second or third set of fixtures. A first deep clean tends to make the largest difference, after which a bi-weekly plan holds it. The deep cleaning guide lists what it adds.
Any home built before 1978 may have older paint, so cleaners wipe gently and never sand or scrape. Three bedroom homes are the metro's most common size, so many Kettering homes fall on the third row of the table. Mild products and a hidden test spot are the rule for original wood and tile.
Kettering uses a single hauler, Rumpke, for homes of three units or less, and since 2025 residents can set out three extra items, including bags and bundled brush, on the regular weekly pickup. That makes a clean-out easier than in many places, though cleaners still do not haul furniture or debris.
Fall leaf pickup for 2026 began October 19, with crews making several passes by district. Leaves go loose to the edge of the lawn, not bagged and not in the street. A lot of those leaves end up on shoes, so keep mats ready. Montgomery County Environmental Services is also replacing old water mains on streets across Kettering in 2026, including Osage, Rushland, Haig and Candlewood. Work on the mains can stir up discolored water, so run the cold tap until it clears before you do laundry.
