We do not climb higher than a 2 step ladder. Higher
items will only be dusted with extension duster.
We cannot move furniture but we will try to reach
visible places by hand or with extension duster
It is presumed that the home will be in order
and somewhat picked up to facilitate cleaning.
Please allow for some dust resettlement after
we leave. We try to limit the dust in the air
but cannot prevent this entirely.
