House cleaning in Linden Hills and nearby Fulton
This is where we started: Karin cleaned her first houses on Xerxes and Upton in 2008, and about a quarter of our recurring clients still live between Lake Harriet and Minnehaha Creek. Most of the houses are 1920s bungalows with one or two original bathrooms, mixed in with the big rebuilds that went up after 2000.

What we find in these houses
Original oak floors with gaps between the boards that trap grit and winter sand. We vacuum those with a crevice tool before mopping and use a barely damp microfiber pad, never a steam mop. The bathrooms are small and tiled high, so a deep clean spends more time on grout than the square footage would suggest.
The lakes bring dogs. Expect us to ask about yours when you book, since two or more shedding dogs add about 20 minutes to a standard clean.
Parking and access
Street parking is easy everywhere except the blocks by Lake Harriet on summer weekends. Many houses here have alley garages, and a garage code is the simplest way to let us in.
Questions from neighbors
Can you clean original wood floors without damaging them?
Yes. We use a pH-neutral cleaner and a microfiber pad wrung nearly dry. If your floors have a wax finish instead of polyurethane, tell us and we will only dust-mop them.
Do you clean the old radiators?
We dust the tops and any fins we can reach with a radiator brush. We don’t remove covers or bleed them.
No travel fee. The same prices as anywhere else in our service area.
