Join the Opening List →Five Points was annexed into Huntsville in 1925 and grew as the city's first true suburb after a streetcar line was built. Its homes date mostly from the late 1890s through the early 1900s, so most are well over a century old. TotalCare Cleaning will service Five Points, and this page covers what a home here needs from a clean.
Five Points became a local historic district in 1999, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. The district sits east of where Holmes Avenue, Pratt Avenue, California Street and Andrew Jackson Way meet. Its housing is mainly California Bungalow, Queen Anne and modest Victorian in style, built in the years around 1900.
Local historic districts in the city operate under an ordinance Huntsville adopted in 1971, and the Huntsville Historic Preservation Commission takes applications to change or alter homes inside them. Normal cleaning is not an alteration. If a project moves beyond cleaning, such as stripping paint from a porch rail, talk with the commission before you begin.
Older houses tend to hold on to dust in places a newer house does not have. Where a bungalow has built-in shelving or a Victorian has detailed trim and tall door casings, those need a soft brush followed by a damp cloth. Old wood floors want a barely damp mop, dried soon after, and old tile does better with mild products than with strong acids. Test anything new on a hidden spot.
Paint needs the same caution as anywhere of this age. The EPA says homes built before 1978 are more likely to have lead-based paint, and that settled lead dust can re-enter the air when a home is vacuumed or swept. Point out any peeling sections, along with window sashes and door edges that rub, before the first visit. Nobody cleaning a house should sand, scrape or strip paint. A vacuum with a good filter and damp wiping help keep fine dust down.
A One-Time Deep Clean makes a sensible first visit if the home has gone without professional care, covering baseboards, blinds, window tracks and fans. After that, a Recurring House Clean is gentler than repeated heavy scrubbing, since it keeps dirt from ever getting ground in. Prices follow bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage on the Huntsville table, so a compact bungalow can sit on a lower row even if its woodwork takes careful handling.
Huntsville's summer dew points near 70 degrees mean slower drying for bathrooms, and older bathrooms are not always well ventilated. Run a fan if you have one, crack a window if you can and leave the door ajar. Keep an eye out for a soft wall or a spreading stain, because a house cleaning is not mold or water damage remediation, and those need a qualified specialist first.
Older windows can also let in more dust and pollen than tighter new ones. Trees in the South may release pollen as early as December or January, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, so damp wipe the sills and tracks through winter and spring. Be gentle with old sashes that stick. Do not force them, and be aware that the paint on these friction points is often where old dust comes from.
