Deep cleaning

What a One-Time Deep Clean does for homes around Little Rock, where soft water leaves soap film, muggy summers keep baths damp, pollen piles onto blinds and older houses hold dust on every ledge.

Hiring a safe house cleaner

How to vet someone before you give them a key: the Arkansas Secretary of State business search, your rights when a sale happens at your door, complaints to the Attorney General and what to ask about coverage and screening.

Move-out and move-in cleaning

Arkansas gives landlords 60 days on deposits, and the law only covers those with six or more dwellings. Here is what that means for Little Rock renters, how to clear your place out, and what a Moving Clean will cover.

Recurring cleaning

How often should a Little Rock home be cleaned? The answer depends on muddy springs, baths that stay damp through a long summer, how pollen affects your household and the size of your house.

Seasonal cleaning calendar

A cleaning calendar built on Little Rock weather normals: mild winter with the odd big storm, the wettest month in April, severe weather in spring, sticky July and August dew points and leaves on wooded lots in fall.

Storm season

From the 2023 tornado to the 2019 river flooding and the 2021 snow, central Arkansas knows about severe weather. Here is how to prepare your home, what comes first afterward, and when ordinary cleaning can help.

Little Rock's water is unusually soft, its summers are unusually sticky, and its housing runs from Antebellum homes in the Quapaw Quarter to wooded lots in Chenal Valley. A cleaning routine that makes sense in one part of town can miss the point in another.

Here is how TotalCare Cleaning will approach homes across the area, which service suits which home, and where the map will reach. Prices are starting prices, set by home size.

From the Quapaw Quarter to Chenal Valley

The median Little Rock home was built in 1978. About 52.7 percent of housing units predate 1980, and about 21.4 percent predate 1960. The Quapaw Quarter holds the city's oldest neighborhoods, with Antebellum, Victorian and Craftsman era homes and more than 200 homes and buildings on the National Register. Hillcrest, listed in 1990, was the city's first streetcar suburb, built up from additions platted between 1890 and 1920.

Newer pockets look different. Chenal Valley began its rapid development in 1990 around Chenal Country Club, and many of its homes sit in wooded sections, where leaves and tree debris become part of the housekeeping.

Three bedroom homes are the most common size, at about 38 percent of units, and about 60 percent of homes are detached. About 46.5 percent of occupied homes are rented, so lease ends are routine. The move-out guide explains the Arkansas deposit rule, which works differently from what many people assume.

A wet spring and a long, muggy summer

April is the wettest month, at a normal 5.59 inches, with March, May and December each near or above 5 inches, across about 50.4 inches a year. Then the heat sets in. Little Rock averages about 76 days at 90 degrees or hotter, and NOAA's hourly normals put the dew point near 71 degrees in July and near 70 in August, against about 32 in January. Those are the numbers that explain why a bathroom feels damp all summer.

Winter is mostly mild, with about 50 freezing nights and about 3.8 inches of snow a year, but February 2021 showed it can do far more, with 20.3 inches in two storms. Tornadoes are the larger threat. The EF3 of March 31, 2023 tracked about 34 miles from west Little Rock through North Little Rock, Sherwood and Jacksonville. The storm season guide deals with what comes after.

Pollen adds to the mix. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranked Little Rock 16th of the 100 largest metros on its 2026 Allergy Capitals list, with a pollen score worse than average. Dust and pollen settling on blinds and vents are a real concern for many households. The seasonal calendar lays it out month by month.

Very soft lake water

Central Arkansas Water draws from Lake Winona and Lake Maumelle and reports hardness of just 1.0 to 1.7 grains per gallon, which it calls soft. It serves almost 500,000 people, and its direct service area includes Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Cammack Village and Alexander. Bryant and Shannon Hills get the same supply.

That is good news for shower glass, since mineral scale is rarely the problem here. The usual culprit is soap. Soft water does not rinse suds away as readily, and a film can build up on glass and tile if too much product goes on. A smaller squirt of everything, and a good rinse, makes a visible difference.

Which service suits which home

TotalCare Cleaning will offer three services here, each priced by the home, not by the hour.

Where TotalCare Cleaning will service around Little Rock

The map will take in the city and the surrounding communities. Three have their own pages. North Little Rock has the Argenta district and the Park Hill subdivision, and a majority of its homes are rented. Conway is the City of Colleges, with newer housing and its own lake supply. Sherwood is mostly three bedroom detached houses and was hit hard in 2023.

In the city, the service area will include Hillcrest, The Heights, Riverdale and Edgewood, along with Hurricane Lake, Military Road and Tyndall. Glen View, Indian Hills and Park Hill will be covered with North Little Rock, and Beaverfork, Harkrider and Oak Street with Conway. To the south, Benton, Bryant and Shannon Hills are on the plan too. Benton's median home dates from 1995 and Bryant's from 2000, so those suburbs tend to be about keeping up with larger, newer homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Little Rock Cleaning
FAQ

On the current Little Rock rate card, a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean starts at $138.00 per visit for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $229.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home of about 2,000 sq ft and $441.00 for a 5 bed / 4 bath home of about 4,500 sq ft. Prices are by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included, and your exact price is shown online before you book.
It is probably soap, not minerals. Central Arkansas Water reports hardness of just 1.0 to 1.7 grains per gallon. Soft water makes soap harder to rinse, so film builds on glass and tile. Use less product, rinse well and squeegee after showers. A One-Time Deep Clean treats shower glass too.
Run the fan during showers and for a while after, and let the stall dry. With July dew points near 71 degrees, moisture lingers longer. Regular cleaning limits surface mildew. Growth that keeps returning points to a moisture problem that needs a specialist, as TotalCare Cleaning does not provide mold or water damage remediation.
AAFA ranked it 16th of the 100 largest metros on its 2026 Allergy Capitals list, with a pollen score worse than average. Regular dusting and vacuuming reduce what settles on surfaces. Cleaning does not treat allergies, so talk with your doctor about your symptoms and how to manage them.
The service is the same, with more care. Hillcrest's additions date from 1890 to 1920, so point out original wood, old tile and any delicate surfaces. Mention chipping paint in any home built before 1978. A deep clean is often a good first step before regular visits begin.
The city collects garbage and yard waste weekly and curbside recycling every other week, and it offers special bulky item pickup for items too large for the cart. Carts go out by 7:00 AM on collection day. A cleaner cannot take away furniture or debris, so plan those separately.
Three bedrooms is the most common size, at about 38 percent of units, so many people land on the third row. About 26.2 percent have two bedrooms, and about 17.5 percent have four or more. Use the row closest to your own home, since the tables show starting prices.
