Nashua

Southern New Hampshire · New Hampshire

Amherst

A historic village center surrounded by single family homes, lakes and bog. TotalCare Cleaning will service Amherst homes with old village houses and rural settings both in mind.

Bedford

Bedford homes tend to be large, fairly new and often on oil heat, and the town has its own well testing rule. TotalCare Cleaning will service them, including those around Bedford Village, from one Nashua area table.

Hollis

Big single family homes, a historic village and old orchard land. TotalCare Cleaning will service Hollis, where more than half of homes have four or more bedrooms.

Manchester

From converted mill condos to small multi-unit buildings, Manchester is an older city with many renters and a water works that explains pink shower stains. TotalCare Cleaning will service its homes with that in mind.

Merrimack

A town of four villages and mostly owner occupied homes built around the 1980s, on treated well water and with no curbside trash. TotalCare Cleaning will service Merrimack homes.

Other places in the Southern New Hampshire: Bedford Village, Benedikt Farm, Manchester Road, Milford Road, Millyard, Mine Falls, Mont Vernon, North End, Shady Hill, South Manchester, Thorntons Ferry, Turkey Hill, Wallace Road.

Deep cleaning

A One-Time Deep Clean for southern New Hampshire homes clears what a long heating season leaves: dust on old radiators and registers, road sand along the baseboards and scale on the faucets.

Hiring a safe house cleaner

Before anyone gets a key or a door code to your southern New Hampshire home, a few plain questions and a clear paper trail will tell you who you are dealing with.

Move-out and move-in cleaning

The Moving Clean for Nashua and Manchester rentals and sales, alongside New Hampshire's 30 day deposit rule and the fact that extra bags and big items need a plan of their own here.

Recurring cleaning

How often a southern New Hampshire home needs a cleaner comes down to winter boots, summer ticks and dogs, fall insects and how much house you are keeping up with.

Seasonal cleaning calendar

A year of home care built from NOAA normals and UNH Extension's insect calendar: January's snow, spring's wandering bugs, summer ticks, a key date in September and October rain.

Moving to the area

Trash is handled very differently from one southern New Hampshire town to the next, and water sources vary just as much. Here is what newcomers should sort out before and after moving day.

Older and historic homes

Mill city tenements, Tree Street houses and village center colonials all need a gentler hand than a new build, along with some care about old paint, damp wood and basements.

Where the Nashua River meets the Merrimack, a mill city has grown into a place of apartments, family houses and busy retail near the Massachusetts line. A short drive west, larger single family homes run on oil heat. Southern New Hampshire houses can have little in common beyond their winters.

TotalCare Cleaning will service Nashua, Manchester and the towns between and around them. This page explains how those homes and seasons shape a cleaning plan, what each service is for and where to find the local guides.

City houses, tenements and larger town homes

Census estimates show about 60 percent of Nashua's homes were built before 1980 and about 20 percent before 1940, with a median year of 1975. Mills shaped that early housing, starting with the Nashua Manufacturing Company in 1823. Today about 45 percent of units are single family detached, about 16 percent sit in 2 to 4 unit buildings and about 25 percent in buildings of 10 or more. About 44 percent of occupied homes are rented.

Manchester goes further in the same direction. About 28 percent of its homes date from before 1940, about 51 percent of occupied homes are rented and many 19th century mill tenements have become condominiums. Out in Bedford, Amherst and Hollis, the numbers change completely: Hollis is about 89 percent single family detached, and about 56 percent of its homes have four or more bedrooms.

Heat matters more than people expect. Utility gas heats about 70 percent of Nashua's occupied homes, while fuel oil heats about half of those in Bedford and Amherst. Forced air and older radiators stir and settle dust in their own ways, and the cost page explains how home size sets the price.

Snow, sticky summers and the fall insect parade

NOAA normals for Nashua show about 53 inches of snow a year, about 155 nights at or below freezing and January lows near 14 degrees. Boots, road sand and salt make entries the priority through winter. In winter the city also asks residents to clear space for carts at the road, so the first job after a storm is often outdoors.

July highs reach about 84 degrees, and Manchester's airport averages about 16 days a year at 90 or hotter. October is the wettest month at about 4.8 inches of a 48 inch year, and fall is when insects look for a way in. UNH Extension says Asian ladybugs and cluster flies invade New Hampshire homes in fall, and ladybugs can stain light rugs when disturbed. The seasonal calendar lays it out month by month.

Which clean suits which home

A One-Time Deep Clean starts from $311.00 and resets a home that has been left for a while. It adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, cleared window tracks and ceiling fans and vents wiped in place. The deep cleaning guide explains when it makes sense.

A Recurring House Clean comes weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, with bi-weekly visits starting from $160.00 and an Initial Deep Clean as the first visit. The recurring guide compares those schedules against local seasons.

A One-Time Moving Clean starts from $391.00 and is designed for empty homes. It is the only service that includes the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. In a region with this many rentals, the move-out guide on New Hampshire's 30 day deposit rule and the move-in guide on town trash rules are worth a read.

Nashua, Manchester and the towns nearby

Within Nashua, neighborhoods such as French Hill and the downtown Tree Streets are close to older housing, and areas around Mine Falls, Wallace Road, Manchester Road and Shady Hill all share the same price table. To the north, Manchester runs from the Millyard to South Manchester and takes its water from Lake Massabesic and the Merrimack.

Merrimack, with villages such as Thorntons Ferry, draws entirely from wells and has no curbside trash. Bedford has large homes, with about 45 percent at four or more bedrooms. Amherst has a historic village center, and Hollis has its own Hollis Village Historic District and apple orchard past. Mont Vernon, Benedikt Farm and other nearby places use the same table too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nashua Cleaning
FAQ

On the current Nashua rate card, a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean starts at $160.00 per visit for a 1 bed / 1 bath home of about 800 sq ft, $256.00 for a 3 bed / 2 bath home of about 2,000 sq ft and $497.00 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.
UNH Extension says Asian ladybugs gather on and in New Hampshire homes in fall. When disturbed they release a yellowish fluid that can stain light rugs and upholstery. Vacuuming stains less than sweeping does, so use the hose attachment around sills and window frames rather than a broom.
Pennichuck's Nashua Core system draws from the Pennichuck Brook and Merrimack River watersheds. The City of Nashua has been the company's sole shareholder since 2012. Ask Pennichuck for current water quality details if you notice film on shower glass and want a hardness number.
Manchester Water Works says the pink stain on showers, tubs, toilets and pet bowls is the bacterium Serratia marcescens. It recommends keeping surfaces clean and dry and using chlorine based cleaners. Run the fan and wipe down corners, and it should come back more slowly.
Yes. They are part of the southern New Hampshire area that TotalCare Cleaning will service, along with Nashua, Manchester and Merrimack. All use one price table, so bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage decide the row. Larger homes in those towns may land on the upper rows.
Nashua picks up oversized items, appliances and tires by appointment only from mid-spring through the end of October, with no special pickups from November to mid-spring. Extra bags from a move must go to the Four Hills landfill with a sticker. Cleaners do not haul furniture, so plan early.
They can. UNH Extension encourages well owners to have an accredited lab test every 3 to 5 years, and a standard test covers hardness, iron, manganese and more. Knowing your numbers tells you whether spots come from scale or from iron, and the right product follows from that.
