Join the Opening List →South Lyon started in 1832 as Thompson's Corners, inside a township named that same year for the legislator Lucius Lyon. The town kept its rail era landmarks, but most of its housing came much later, and today it is a city of newer subdivisions, townhouses and apartments around an older center.
TotalCare Cleaning will service South Lyon homes of every kind, including the streets around McHattie Park, as part of the Detroit North area.
South Lyon has over 200 acres of parkland. McHattie Park, at nearly 15 acres, holds the Witch's Hat Depot Museum and Historic Village, built around the 1909 Queen Anne style depot and the 1907 Washburn School. The Huron Valley Rail Trail runs through town as well.
For households that use the parks and the trail, that shows up indoors as fine trail grit on entry floors, grass clippings on rugs and muddy paws in spring. A mat outside and inside every door, plus regular floor care, keeps it from spreading.
Census estimates put South Lyon's median home at 1991. About 58 percent of homes are single family detached, about 15 percent are attached units such as townhouses, and about a quarter are in buildings with two or more units. That mix means many South Lyon homes are mid-size, with open kitchens, two or more baths and modern finishes that clean up easily with ordinary products.
Newer construction does not mean less cleaning. Open layouts let dust travel between rooms, and the large glass showers common in newer bathrooms show every spot, which matters here because of the water.
For most homes a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean is the right fit, with an Initial Deep Clean first. Attached units and smaller apartments often do well on a monthly plan.
South Lyon draws its public water from three wells between 120 and 125 feet deep. In a 2002 renovation of its treatment plant the city added more iron filtration and pumping capacity, and iron is the thing to watch for in local bathrooms. Traces that reach the tap, especially through older plumbing, leave orange or brown rings at the waterline of toilets and stains below tub faucets.
Clean those marks with a rust stain remover made for porcelain and a soft pad. Bleach can set iron stains rather than lift them, so skip it on rust. A One-Time Deep Clean details faucets and treats shower glass for mineral spots, and the hard water guide compares South Lyon's water with nearby systems.
Winter is the long season here. The nearest long weather record, at Detroit Metro Airport, averages about 45 inches of snow a year, and roads are salted for months. Townhouse and condo entries are small, so salt and slush concentrate in a short stretch of floor. A boot tray, two mats and more frequent visits from December through March keep that area from wearing down.
