Concrete Basement Cleaning by the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Lake Forest, IL. Basement floor concrete can accumulate dust, dirt, and grime. This dust can even permeate throughout the house, and can accelerate any allergies and health problems of family members. Therefore, it is a good idea to clean, wash and sanitize our concrete basement floors, at least once or twice per year, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Lake Forest, IL., Dial-A-Maid.

In a bucket of warm water, pour some detergent and ¼ cup of Ammonia. Use a nylon scrub brush and scrub the floor with it. Do not use a metallic brush to scrub with, as this may leave metal fibers behind and can lead to rust on the floor. If the basement concrete floor is very dirty, purchase some trisodium phosphate (TSP) at any home goods store. Add 1 or 2 cups a bucket of warm water and scrub with nylon brush. Rinse it off with a hose. Vacuum up the excess water with a shop vac, says the Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Lake Forest, IL.Dial-A-Maid.

If there is a musty smell in the basement, open the windows, use large fans, and install a dehumidifier so the basement will have enough air circulation to prohibit the smell from reoccurring, says the Most Spectacular Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Lake Forest, IL., Dial-A-Maid.

Another way to eliminate the smell in a basement, is to pour some pour some bleaching powder onto the floor, and let it soak in overnight. The powder will absorb the bad odor and microorganisms that cause the smell. Sweep or vacuum up the powder, and dispose of it outdoors, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Lake Forest, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
