Join the Opening List →Oakwood is a small city with its own way of doing things, from its water plants to its trash pickup, and its homes are old enough that care matters. TotalCare Cleaning will service Oakwood on the same table as the rest of the Dayton area.
The median Oakwood home was built in 1938, about 55 percent of its housing units predate 1940, about 82 percent are single family detached and only about 18 percent of homes are rented. Few places around here have housing this old or this settled.
The city also runs more of its own services than most. It operates eight water production wells and three water treatment plants, with backup connections to the Dayton and Montgomery County water systems. It provides backdoor pickup of weekly household trash and recyclables, monthly yard debris pickup and special pickups for larger household items.
Homes from this era reward patience. Plaster, original hardwood, old tile and painted trim do better with mild products and soft tools, and cleaners test on a hidden spot first. Nobody sands or scrapes paint in an older home, which matters here given how many houses predate 1940. Point out anything fragile before the first visit, along with any room you want left alone.
The size of a home matters too, and a large older house on the fourth or fifth row has a lot of detail per room: trim, built-ins, stairs and multiple baths. A One-Time Deep Clean or Initial Deep Clean usually makes the biggest difference, with a bi-weekly plan to hold it. The older homes guide has more on each surface.
Oakwood pumps its own well water and reports an average hardness of 200 milligrams per liter, or 12 grains per gallon. That is harder than Dayton's softened water at about 139, and you will see it on shower doors and faucets. A deep clean treats shower glass and details fixtures, though old chrome and enamel need gentle products rather than strong descalers. A squeegee and a towel keep things under control between visits.
Fall is a big season in this town. The 2026 leaf collection began October 5 on a biweekly schedule across 10 sections, with leaves placed in the roadway gutter no more than a day or two ahead. Wet leaves come in on shoes and can mark old wood floors, so mats and a quick sweep help. Since trash goes out by the back door, tell a cleaner where to leave bagged trash.
