Our work
Before and after, from real Red Deer homes
Every photo below is from a job we were paid to do, taken on the day by the cleaner who did it. Same angle, same light, nothing staged and nothing retouched. Judge us on these rather than on the adjectives.
Before
AfterChrome tap under heavy scale
Calcium along the whole length of the spout and a stained overflow in the basin. The chrome underneath was intact the entire time, which is usually the case: it looks like a tap that needs replacing and it is a tap that needs descaling.
The tap on the left is not worn out, it is buried. Central Alberta water leaves calcium on chrome, and once it has built up over the length of a spout most people assume the fixture is finished and start pricing a replacement. The chrome was intact underneath the whole time. Descaling is part of a deep cleaning.
Before
AfterTile floor, grout and baseboards
The floor came in reading as one dark slab. The grout lines only reappeared once the buildup came off, along with the dust and pet hair packed along the baseboard.
Before
AfterKitchen sink and drain
Food debris packed around the strainer and a film of dried-on residue up the sides of the basin.
Before
AfterHard water on chrome
Central Alberta water leaves calcium on a faucet, and this had been building for a while. Mineral scale rather than damage, so it came off.
Before
AfterShower ledge and tile
Soap scum collects on a ledge like this faster than anywhere else in a bathroom. Tile, grout line and ledge reset together.
Before
AfterStove top and drip pans
Spills, crumbs and the yellow cast that cooking leaves on a white cooktop. The elements themselves are worn rather than dirty, so they still look their age. That is the honest result.
Before
AfterInside the microwave
Baked-on brown residue across the roof, the walls and the turntable.
Before
AfterBathroom basin
A rust ring at the drain and staining through the bowl. Mineral, not damage.
Before
AfterVessel basin and counter
Hair and product residue around the base of the basin. The spot most cleans skip, because it has to be worked around rather than wiped past.
Before
AfterToilet bowl and rim
Staining under the rim, which is where most of the buildup in a toilet actually sits.
Before
AfterUnder the toilet seat
Staining along the hinge line and the underside of the seat, where it builds up out of sight. Lifting the seat is the difference between a bathroom that looks clean and one that is.
Before
AfterWood counter with dried splashes
Dried splashes and drips across a wood counter, off without stripping the finish underneath. Wood is the surface most often left alone because the wrong approach marks it permanently.
Before
AfterVanity mirror and base
Spotted glass and a filmed chrome base.
Before
AfterBathroom vanity
Toothpaste and product film across the basin and the counter. The everyday buildup a quick wipe never actually lifts.
What you are looking at
No stock photos, no staging
Every pair is shot from the same position, at the same distance, in the same light. A wide shot before and a close-up after is the oldest trick in this trade, and it is the reason most cleaning galleries are worth nothing. If a photo here does not convince you, it is because the job it shows was not dramatic, not because the framing was arranged to help.
You will also notice that some afters are not flawless. A worn tap finish, an etched countertop, a scratch in a basin: those are damage, and cleaning does not fix damage. We leave them in. A gallery where every surface comes out looking new is a gallery someone edited.
Photos are taken with the homeowner's permission, and framed on the surface rather than the home. You will not find anyone's address, family photos or belongings on this page.

The cleans behind these photos
Questions about these photos
Are these your own photos?+
Yes. Every pair on this page is from a real job we were paid to do, photographed on the day by the cleaner who did it. Nothing here is stock and nothing is staged.
Why are some of the afters not perfect?+
Because some marks are damage rather than dirt. Etching in a countertop, worn finish on a tap, a scratch in a sink: those do not come out, and we would rather show you an honest result than retouch a photo. If something in your home cannot be fixed by cleaning, we will tell you that instead of quietly charging you to try.
Can you get grout back to white?+
Often, but not always. Grout that is dirty comes back a long way, as the tile floor at the top of this page shows. Grout that is stained through, or that has lost its sealer, will improve without going back to the day it was laid. We will tell you which one you have before we start.
Which clean do these photos come from?+
Most are first cleans and deep cleans, where the difference is largest because the home is being reset rather than maintained. Once a home is at that standard, recurring visits keep it there, and there is far less to photograph.
