Project Overview — Standard Cleaning in Austin 78745

On October 9, 2025, our team visited a returning client in South Austin’s 78745 neighborhood for a Standard Cleaning service. The homeowner wanted a light refresh to maintain their home’s comfort and cleanliness between deep cleans.

Located near Bouldin Creek and Zilker, this South Austin home needed a trustworthy cleaning company that understands the unique needs of older homes and Austin’s humid climate.

Why the Client Booked Us

Even returning clients know that DIY cleaning only goes so far. This homeowner wanted:

  • A home refresh without the depth of a full deep clean
  • Consistent, professional results from a trusted team
  • Attention to high-traffic areas, dusting, and floors

With 22 years of experience and 1,462+ five-star reviews, Boardwalk offers the peace of mind and consistent results that DIY and less experienced services can’t match.

Families in Zilker and Bouldin Creek rely on Boardwalk for routine cleanings that combat humidity, mildew, and dust—keeping their homes bright and healthy.

What We Did Step by Step

Tools & Products Used

We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions, microfiber cloths, and professional-grade vacuums. Our products are safe for pets and children yet powerful against dust and allergens.

We follow CDC cleaning guidelines and our own Boardwalk Quality Checklist to ensure consistent, thorough results every time.

Challenges & Solutions

This home had high-traffic areas and furniture that collected dust quickly.
Our team focused on:

  • Cleaning frequently touched surfaces
  • Using microfiber tools to trap dust instead of spreading it
  • Moving lightweight furniture to reach hidden corners

Pro Tip: If you have hardwood floors in South Austin, schedule a standard clean every 2–3 weeks to prevent grime build-up from humidity.

DIY Cleaning vs Professional Standard Cleaning

DIY Cleaning Professional Standard Cleaning
Quick tidy-up — surfaces look okay but dust lingers Every room is thoroughly sanitized and feels fresh and inviting
Misses hidden dust and high-touch areas Floors, surfaces, and bathrooms are deeply cleaned and polished
Inconsistent results week to week Consistent, insured, and quality-checked by supervisors

This client immediately noticed the difference—what looked “okay” now felt truly clean and organized.
