Join the Opening List →Burlington's history sits close to the surface, from old railroad shops to mill-era streets, and much of its housing has real age behind it. TotalCare Cleaning will service Burlington, including Alamance, North Burlington and Southgate, on the same table as the rest of the Greensboro area.
Burlington began as Company Shops, the North Carolina Railroad's repair shops, in 1854. It took the name Burlington after the shops closed in 1886 and grew as a hosiery and textile center. That past shows up on the National Register, with historic districts including West Davis Street-Fountain Place from 1984, East Davis Street from 2000 and Beverly Hills from 2009.
Water tells another part of the story. The Ed Thomas plant, in service since 1950, treats surface water from Stoney Creek Reservoir and has a capacity of 16 million gallons a day. The JD Mackintosh plant treats water from Great Alamance Creek, impounded as Lake Mackintosh when its dam was completed in 1993.
About 53 percent of Burlington's homes were built before 1980, and the median year built is 1978. So the typical house here has around fifty years of detail in its trim, tracks and tile. A first deep clean tends to show the biggest change, with hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds and shower glass treatment. The deep cleaning guide has the full list.
Older homes in the historic districts need extra care, with mild products on old wood and plaster, a hidden test spot first and no sanding or scraping of paint in any pre-1978 home. After the first visit, a bi-weekly plan suits most households, and a monthly one can suit a smaller home with fewer people. Prices follow the size of the home, not its age.
Burlington collects acceptable bulk waste such as furniture, mattresses and appliances weekly at no charge, which makes a clean-out easier than in many cities. Clear those out before a Moving Clean, since cleaners do not haul furniture or debris. From October through January, the city's vacuum truck collects loose leaves at the curb, and the rest of the year leaves must be in containers. Leaves and damp grit come in on shoes during those months, so keep your mats shaken out.
Burlington shares the Piedmont's general pattern, with heavy summer air and subsoils in shades of red, brown and yellow that stain entry floors. Lady beetles gather on the sunny sides of houses in fall, and NC State Extension advises against crushing them, because they can stain fabric and paint. Older window frames can let more of them in, so check sills.
