Project Overview:

On October 4, 2025, our team completed a deluxe deep cleaning for a new client in a fully furnished apartment along South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78745. The homeowner needed more than a basic tidy; he wanted to eliminate buildup, refresh every room, and restore that like-new feeling throughout the home.

This South Austin apartment had been well-kept but never professionally detailed. With family visits on the horizon, it was the perfect time to bring in Boardwalk’s trusted team for a thorough reset.

Why the Client Booked Us

Our client had been keeping up with daily chores but noticed:

  • Dust collecting on blinds and baseboards
  • Fingerprints and smudges on doors and door frames
  • Kitchen cabinet fronts losing their shine
  • Laundry piling up

Like many Austin residents, he realized DIY cleaning wasn’t enough. He wanted:

  • Professional deep cleaning that reaches hidden buildup
  • Extra cleaning services like folding laundry
  • Peace of mind knowing the crew was insured, vetted, and dependable

With 22 years of experience and 1,462+ five-star reviews, The Boardwalk Cleaning Co. was the clear choice.

What We Did: Step by Step

Our team arrived on time and carefully performed a comprehensive deep clean of the apartment.

  • Vacuumed and mopped all floors
  • Performed super dusting on blinds, furniture, and décor
  • Scrubbed and sanitized bathrooms (toilets, sinks, showers, tubs, mirrors)
  • Wiped down kitchen counters, backsplash, cabinet fronts, and appliance exteriors
  • Cleaned baseboards, doors, and door frames by hand
  • Folded and put away laundry per the client’s request

Tools & Products Used

We don’t cut corners when it comes to your safety. Our team used:

  • Eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are non-toxic and family safe
  • HEPA-filter vacuums to remove allergens and fine dust
  • Microfiber cloths for streak-free polishing
  • Professional-grade scrubbing brushes for stubborn spots

By following CDC cleaning guidelines, we ensure that every surface is not only spotless but also sanitary.

Challenges & Solutions

The biggest challenge was the fully furnished layout, which left limited access to corners and edges. Instead of skipping these areas, our crew:

  • Shifted lightweight furniture to reach hidden dust
  • Used slim tools to clean behind and under couches and dressers
  • Paid extra attention to high-touch areas like doorknobs and cabinet pulls

This level of detail is exactly why homeowners choose Boardwalk over the competition.

DIY Cleaning vs. Professional Deep Cleaning

Many Austin homeowners handle their own tidying, vacuuming, mopping, and wiping down counters. While helpful, DIY cleaning rarely reaches the buildup that collects on blinds, baseboards, and door frames.

Here’s the difference our client experienced:

  • DIY Cleaning: Surfaces look tidy, but dust, grease, and grime linger in hidden areas.
  • Professional Cleaning: Every room is detailed, sanitized, and refreshed with the right tools and eco-friendly products.

This South Congress homeowner immediately noticed the before vs. after transformation. What once felt “clean enough” now truly sparkled, with brighter rooms, fresher air, and a polished finish from corner to corner.

Time & Scope

  • Home Type: Furnished apartment
  • Neighborhood: South Congress, Austin 78745
  • Scope of Work: 2-bedroom apartment deep cleaning + folding laundry
  • Duration: Several hours of detailed cleaning

Results Delivered

By the time we finished, the apartment looked and felt like new:

  • Floors gleamed after vacuuming and mopping
  • Baseboards and doors were crisp and dust-free.
  • Bathrooms sparkled with sanitized fixtures and mirrors.
  • Laundry folded and stored for a stress-free homecoming

The client returned to a refreshed apartment that felt brighter, fresher, and truly spotless.

Maintenance Tips for Apartment Owners

To keep your apartment looking fresh between deep cleans:

  • Dust blinds weekly with a microfiber wand.
  • Wipe down baseboards monthly to prevent buildup.
  • Declutter regularly so surfaces stay easier to clean.
