Join the Opening List →Lake Oswego runs its own water system and has its own lake with its own rules, and its housing is a mix of detached homes from around the early 1980s and a smaller group of older and rented places.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to Lake Oswego, the visit will be planned around what is true of each house here, including those in First Addition, Uplands and Mountain Park, rather than around what is true of Portland in general.
Access to Oswego Lake comes through deeded privileges held by certain property owners, privileges that cannot be sold, bought or transferred. The Lake Corporation has looked after the lake since 1942. Not every home has a lake privilege, so not every home has the same summer traffic of wet towels, sandals and swim gear coming through the back door.
Where that traffic does exist, the floors and bathroom nearest that door are the ones that show it. It is worth telling a cleaner which door the family really uses, since that is where the attention should go.
The median Lake Oswego home was built in 1982, and about 46 percent of its housing units are from before 1980. About 61 percent are single family detached, and about 31 percent of occupied homes are rented. Put together, that describes a city where many cleaning jobs will be a full house, and where a meaningful share of homes are old enough to deserve some care.
Homes built before 1978 can still have lead paint under newer coats. Dusting and wiping are fine, but scraping or sanding is a separate job for a qualified contractor. The older homes guide covers what to watch for.
Lake Oswego draws its drinking water from the Clackamas River at Gladstone and pipes it under the Willamette to the Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Treatment Plant in West Linn. The city describes that water as soft, at around 25 parts per million or 1.5 grains per gallon of hardness.
Soft water leaves less mineral behind on shower glass and faucets than harder supplies do. Soap film is usually the bigger issue in a bathroom here, and it is a matter of regular wiping rather than heavy scrubbing. The hard water guide compares the supplies across the Portland area.
For a detached house with people living in it, a Recurring House Clean on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedule is the usual answer. The first visit of a plan is an Initial Deep Clean, which brings baseboards, blinds, window tracks and cabinet fronts up to a standard that later visits can maintain.
Renters and sellers often want something else. A One-Time Moving Clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. Oregon law gives a landlord 31 days after the tenancy ends and possession returns to return a deposit or give a written accounting, so renters should finish the clean before handing back the keys.
A detached house with several bathrooms goes faster and better with a short list. Name the rooms that matter most this time, the surfaces that need special care, and any door that should stay closed for a pet. A home may have a piece of stone, an old wood floor or a set of antique fixtures that the household has its own routine for, and it is better for a cleaner to hear about that before starting.
If only part of the house is in daily use, say so. A guest wing that sits closed all month needs a dusting, and not much more, between visits. That lets the time go toward the kitchen, the main bath and the floors that actually see traffic.
