I’ve spent the past twelve years renovating homes—everything from modest weekend fixer-uppers to full gut rehabs—and somewhere along the way, I learned that my projects only run smoothly when I’m supported by people who understand homes beyond their surface. That realization hit me during a particularly hectic transition between two remodels, and right in the middle of that chaos was the Simply Pure Home cleaning team, standing at the center of a moment that completely shifted how I think about post-construction cleanup and ongoing care.
My first experience with them came after a kitchen overhaul that had produced more fine dust than any homeowner is prepared for. Even with the plastic barriers I’d hung and the air scrubber running nonstop, the powder managed to drift into the dining room and settle into the grooves of an old oak hutch the owners treasured. I’d planned to spend half a day trying to restore it myself, but the Simply Pure crew stepped in before I could even pull out my brushes. One of their cleaners tested a small section with a technique I hadn’t used before—gentle enough not to lift the finish, thorough enough to reach the dust packed into the detailing. Watching her work reminded me of how much I still had to learn from people whose expertise comes from repetition and patience rather than demolition and rebuilding.
Another moment that stays with me happened in a home where the family had lived through a major bathroom remodel. Steam from months of temporary shower setups had caused a faint mildew smell in the hallway, something I’d chalked up to leftover construction humidity. The cleaning team wasn’t satisfied with that assumption. They traced the issue to a vent filter that had been neglected during construction. Once they cleaned it, the smell disappeared within a day. The homeowners thought I’d solved the problem, but the credit belonged entirely to the people who see homes through a different lens—one where small clues matter.
I’ve also come to appreciate how Simply Pure Home prevents the kinds of mistakes that end up costing homeowners more than they expect. I’ve seen cleaning crews elsewhere use acidic products on natural stone, scrub marble like it was laminate, or flood hardwood with water in the name of “deep cleaning.” Those choices don’t just create surface issues—they shorten the life of materials I’ve spent months installing. The Simply Pure team understands the difference between engineered flooring and solid planks, between sealed grout and grout that needs resealing, between stainless that can handle a mild abrasive and stainless that will dull permanently. Their instincts save me from warranty calls and save homeowners from unnecessary repairs.
What surprised me most over time wasn’t their technical skill—it was their consistency. Renovation schedules shift constantly, and I’ve had to call them in earlier than planned, later than expected, or with only a few hours’ notice. Not once have they treated the job like an inconvenience. They show up with the same attention to detail whether they’re restoring a home for the final walkthrough or preparing a space between project phases so the family can actually breathe in their own living room again.
Looking back, I think the highest compliment I can give them is simple: they’ve become part of my workflow. I plan around them the same way I plan around electricians or finish carpenters. And in an industry where the smallest overlooked detail can become the biggest headache, having a team like Simply Pure Home behind me has made more difference than most homeowners ever realize.
