Local Guides
Spokane homes collect a bit of everything: minerals from aquifer water, pollen, smoke residue and months of winter grit. Here is what a One-Time Deep Clean does about it, and where it stops.
Washington offers free tools for checking a business before it comes to your home. Here is how to use them, what to ask any Spokane cleaner, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Washington has some of the clearer deposit rules around, including a signed move-in checklist. Here is how those rules work and how a Moving Clean fits a Spokane lease ending.
Choosing a schedule for a Spokane home depends on who lives there and on what each season brings: grit and slush in winter, heavy pollen in spring, and dry dust and smoke in summer.
A month by month list for Spokane homes, built around snow from December on, tree and grass pollen in spring, a bone dry July and August, and a smoke season that can run into fall.
Spokane's pollen season has become hard to ignore. Here is what the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America reports, and how to keep tree, grass and weed pollen down in your home.
Spokane's water comes straight from the aquifer with minerals intact, and hardness varies a lot from well to well. Here is what that means for shower doors, faucets and dishes, and what helps.
Spokane had 228,989 residents at the 2020 census and sits at the center of an inland metro of an estimated 605,000. Its older neighborhoods, with Craftsman and Tudor homes on the South Hill and a downtown rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1889, stand alongside newer housing in the towns around it. Its weather and water each leave their mark indoors.
TotalCare Cleaning will service Spokane and the surrounding communities. This page explains what these homes need, how the seasons affect them, which clean fits what, and where to read more.
Census estimates show about 26 percent of homes in the city of Spokane were built in 1939 or earlier, and about half before 1960. Single family detached homes make up about 64 percent of housing units, and about 41 percent of occupied homes are rented.
Neighborhoods like the Rockwood Historic District on the South Hill hold mostly Tudor Revival, Classical Revival and Craftsman homes built largely from 1908 to 1915 and from 1936 to 1942. Original woodwork and old floors want mild products and a soft touch. 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, so take care with old sills and flaking spots.
The city is also adding housing. It relaxed its zoning in 2022 to allow duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and townhomes in residential zones, and in 2023 it permanently allowed up to six units on residential lots.
Spokane International Airport's normal annual snowfall is 45.4 inches, with 13.8 in December and 12.3 in January, and about 48 days a year have at least an inch on the ground. About 132 nights reach 32 degrees or colder. That adds up to months of boots, grit and slush at the door.
Summer is the opposite. July and August are the driest months, with normal precipitation of 0.42 and 0.47 inches, and annual precipitation is only 16.45 inches. About 21 days reach 90 degrees or hotter. Dust and pollen replace the mud. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranked Spokane 9th among its 2026 Allergy Capitals, so the allergy guide is worth a look if anyone at home is sensitive.
Wildfire smoke is also part of the year. The Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency says the region has averaged 7.3 days of unhealthy air from wildfire smoke a year over the last 10 years. The seasonal calendar puts all of this in order.
A Recurring House Clean runs weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, with bi-weekly starting at $138.00 on the smallest row. The first visit of a plan is an Initial Deep Clean. The recurring guide can help you choose a schedule.
A One-Time Deep Clean runs $279.00 to $614.00 across five home sizes and adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place, degreased cabinet fronts, shower glass treated for hard water spots, detailed faucets and soaked stovetop grates. With water this hard, the glass and faucets are often where you will see the difference. See the deep cleaning guide and the hard water guide.
A One-Time Moving Clean, starting at $350.00, adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. Washington has clear deposit rules, set out in the move-out guide. These are starting prices, priced by the home, not by the hour, and the cost page has them all.
The City of Spokane recognizes 29 neighborhoods, including Browne's Addition, Hillyard, Manito/Cannon Hill, Rockwood, Lincoln Heights and Five Mile Prairie. Coverage will also include the South Hill, the North Side, Downtown, Meadowview and the Medical Lake Road area.
Spokane Valley, to the east, has more than 110,000 residents and a big stock of 1970s homes. Liberty Lake sits at the eastern edge of the state and is mostly newer. Cheney is home to Eastern Washington University, and Airway Heights, just west of Spokane, is a young, mostly rented city near Fairchild Air Force Base.
