Join the Opening List →Independence has a long memory. It was the jumping-off point for the westward trails, it was Harry Truman's hometown, and its housing still reflects most of that history. For a cleaning plan, that means a city where older finishes are the norm rather than the exception.
TotalCare Cleaning will service Independence as part of the Kansas City area, with the same services and the same price table.
The City of Independence calls itself the Queen City of the Trails: the most popular starting point for the Oregon Trail and a starting point for the California and Santa Fe trails. A century later it became known as the home of Harry Truman. The National Park Service notes that the Truman home dates from the Victorian era and sits in the Harry S Truman Historic District, with family homes across the street and behind it.
Areas such as Englewood and Fairmount, along with neighboring Sugar Creek, are part of the Independence section of the service area.
Census estimates show about 55 percent of Independence housing units were built before 1970, including about 13 percent built in 1939 or earlier. That makes older finishes the rule in much of the city, from Victorian-era homes near the historic district to midcentury houses on the surrounding streets.
Those homes tend to have hardwood under the carpet, painted trim with many coats, original tile bathrooms and windows with deep sills. Cleaning them well is about gentle products and hand detail: damp rather than wet mops on old floors, soft cloths on painted woodwork, non-scratch pads on old porcelain. Cleaners never sand, scrape or strip paint, and in homes built before 1978 flaking paint should be left for the owner to address.
The older home guide covers these surfaces in more detail.
The City of Independence owns and operates three municipal utilities: power, water and wastewater. New residents set up electric service with the city, which is worth doing before any move-in or move-out clean, since cleaners need lights and running water.
Independence supplies water from wells near the Missouri River, and it sells part of that water to Lee's Summit. Wholesale testing in May 2024 measured carbonate hardness of 123 milligrams per liter. That is in the same range as Kansas City's softened river water, so glass and chrome collect a light film over a few weeks rather than days.
An older home that has gone a while without professional care usually starts with a One-Time Deep Clean or an Initial Deep Clean, which adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks and fixtures wiped in place. A bi-weekly or monthly Recurring House Clean keeps it there. Rentals and sales get the Moving Clean, which includes inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
