Basement Cement Washing and Cleaning by the Foremost and Best House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL.

House Cleaning occasionally includes Basement Cement sanitizing and washing. The oldest and best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service on the North Shore of Chicago, Dial-A-Maid, says that basements can accumulate mildew and bad odors quite rapidly, if not consistently cleaned and washed. This 45 Year Old House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., gives some great tips for getting rid of odors, mildew, and fungus from Basement Cement Concrete Floors below. This service suggests that you clean your basement floor, at least twice per year or more, so the smell and odors do not permeate throughout the house, which can cause sickness. This is a relatively simple task but it will take some time, to clean a basement floor that has not been cleaned for a while, says the most thorough and Oldest House Cleaning Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid. Below are just a few ways that this basement cleaning can be accomplished within a few hours.

1. Take a bucket of warm water and add 1 cup of detergent and ¼ cup of ammonia. Mix it up well with a long pole or stick. Use a stiff, long handled, nylon brush to scrub the solution onto the concrete floor. Do not use a metallic brush, though, since the metal fibers can become trapped and stuck in any concrete cracks. If the floor is exceedingly dirty, add some trisodium phosphate of TSP, purchased from the hardware store, to the water. Rinse off the cleaning solution with a hose and let the floor dry overnight. Vacuum up any excess water with a wet-dry vacuum. This kind of scrubbing and washing should take care of a dirty, even filthy, basement floor, says the foremost Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
2. Freshening Smelly Basement Floors can also be achieved with Bleach. Be sure to use plastic gloves when cleaning the floor in this manner, says the most meticulous Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL. This will take care of any mildew and fungus that has grown in your basement. Put 1-2 oz. of bleach into a bucket of water and scrub, again, with a nylon brush. Rinse with a hose and let the floor dry. Adding a dehumidifier to the basement would be a great bonus in this instance, as it takes out all the excess water accumulation and improves air circulation.
3. Another way to effectively clean and wash a basement cement floor, is to sprinkle Chlorinated Lime Powder on it, suggests our Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service, Dial-A-Maid. This can be purchased in the laundry section of your supermarket. Let it soak for 1 day, so it absorbs all the bad odors and micro organisms that cause these odors. Sweep or vacuum the powder up and dispose of the sweepings outside.

All of these suggestions can be done within a short period of time and usually does not require a lot of elbow grease, says the oldest House Cleaning and Maid Service on the Northshore of Chicago, IL.
