Join the Opening List →Alexandria is an independent city on the Potomac, established in 1749 and home to 159,467 people at the 2020 census. In a few miles it runs from some of the oldest urban houses in the region to apartment buildings that went up in the last few years.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to the Washington DC area, Alexandria will be part of it. This page covers what local homes ask of a cleaning, from historic trim to floodplain basements.
The Old and Historic Alexandria District was designated locally in 1946 and named a National Historic Landmark in 1966 for its late 18th and early 19th century urban architecture. A townhouse there can be more than two centuries old, so every surface deserves a gentle first test.
At the other end of the timeline, Potomac Yard has been redeveloped since plans were announced in 1988. Its Metro station opened in May 2023 and the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus followed in January 2025, bringing a wave of new apartments and condos.
Census estimates put 60.9 percent of Alexandria's 80,844 housing units in buildings of five or more units and 20.8 percent in attached single family homes, so a typical visit is either a condo or a townhouse. Townhouses spread over several floors; condos involve front desks and elevators. And 57.9 percent of occupied homes are rented, so Moving Cleans at lease end are a large share of local work.
Del Ray grew from the Town of Potomac, a planned community begun in 1894 with Colonial Revival, bungalow and Queen Anne houses, and became part of Alexandria in 1930. Rosemont, an 84 acre neighborhood beside Alexandria Union Station, was built mostly from 1908 to 1914 with Craftsman, Foursquare and Colonial Revival homes. Both mean deep porches, original woodwork, built-ins and older bathrooms that need mild products and patience.
The City of Alexandria says its low elevation beside the Potomac exposes it to tidal, wind-driven and storm surge flooding, that about 20 percent of the city is floodplain, and that heavy rain can back sewers up into some homes. For cleaning, that mostly means basements and lower levels that stay damp. Keep stored items off the floor, run a dehumidifier in summer and vacuum basement edges often.
Cleaners do not handle water damage or sewage backups; those need a restoration company. Once a basement has been professionally dried and cleared, a One-Time Deep Clean can bring the rest of the house back.
From late October through January, city crews run leaf vacuum trucks and collect paper leaf bags by zone, with three vacuum passes a season for homes on city trash service. Until the trucks reach your block, leaf litter piles up on stoops and gets tracked inside. A boot tray, two mats and more frequent entry vacuuming through those months keep it off the floors.
