How to Keep a Large Gladwyne Home Clean: A Room-by-Room Plan
Big houses on wooded Gladwyne lots need a cleaning plan, not just a cleaning. Here is how to rotate rooms, handle pollen and leaves, and keep lower levels fresh.
Read moreDevon is known across the Main Line for the Devon Horse Show grounds on Lancaster Avenue, the Devon station on the Paoli/Thorndale Line, and the shops and restaurants that have grown up around Devon Yard. Away from the avenue, Devon is mostly residential, with large colonials, stone farmhouse style homes, and newer houses on generous wooded lots in Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships. Bigger homes mean more bathrooms, more floors, and more surfaces to keep up with. Cris & Cleber Home Cleaning serves Devon from our base in Northeast Philadelphia. Owners Cris and Cleber Santos are on every job, and they bring one extra helper on bigger first-time cleanings. Every visit follows the same room-by-room checklist. Call or text to tell us about your home and get an estimate.

The short answer
A four or five bedroom Devon home with several bathrooms, a big kitchen, and a finished basement cannot be cleaned well by racing through it. We work through the house in a set order using our room-by-room checklist: kitchens first, with counters, the sink, stovetop, appliance fronts, and cabinet fronts; then bathrooms, with showers, tubs, toilets, mirrors, and floors scrubbed; then bedrooms and living areas, with dusting, vacuuming, and mopping. For a first visit in a large home, we usually recommend a deep cleaning so baseboards, vents, door frames, and light fixtures are caught up, and then a recurring schedule keeps everything at that level.
Devon properties tend to have big trees and wide lawns, and every season shows up inside. Spring pollen settles on window sills and outdoor furniture, summer humidity can make lower levels feel musty, fall brings leaves and mud through the back door, and winter means salt and grit on the mudroom floor. Homes near Lancaster Avenue and the train also pick up more road dust. We adjust each visit to what your home is going through, adding extra time for entry floors, window tracks, and the basement when it is needed, and we are happy to schedule a deep cleaning before the holidays or after a busy summer.
