And if you're short on time (or just tired of dusting every other day), Superb Maids Portland is here to help.

Why Vinegar Works Wonders on Mineral Build-Up
Ever wonder why vinegar shows up in almost every DIY cleaning recipe? Itโs all about the acid. The acetic acid in vinegar breaks down hard water deposits and grime like a charm especially helpful in areas like Clackamas or Happy Valley where hard water can be a challenge. Just soak your shower head in a vinegar bag overnight, and wake up to a better water flow and a cleaner bathroom. Natural, effective, and affordable! At Superb Maids Portland, while we appreciate natural methods like vinegar, we always recommend testing small areas first and checking with your appliance or fixture manufacturer to ensure it's safe for long-term use.

In homes across Scappoose, St. Helens, and Columbia City, weโve seen how quickly this hardworking space can go from clean to cluttered.

Clean or Contaminate? How One Cloth Can Dirty Your Whole Home
It might seem convenient to use one cloth to clean multiple surfaces, but doing so can spread more germs than it removes. Wiping the bathroom, then the kitchen, then your living room with the same rag turns cleaning into cross-contaminating. In homes throughout Tigard, Oregon City, and West Linn, we recommend color-coding your cloths one for each room and washing them in hot water after every use. At Superb Maids Portland, we take hygiene seriously because true cleaning means stopping the spread, not moving it around.
