Cleaning a home in Beverly Hills

North of Wilshire the streets are lined with houses built in the twenties and thirties: Spanish tile roofs, arched doorways, thick plaster walls, and rooms drawn as separate rooms instead of one open space. South of the boulevard sit apartment buildings; up the canyon roads the lots start to climb. Underfoot it is dark oak, patterned tile in the entry hall, stone or marble in the baths.

Those floors decide the method. Marble and limestone will etch, so nothing acidic goes near them; oak gets a damp mop and no standing water. Plaster walls and painted molding hold dust in every ridge. There is usually more than one full bath, and polished nickel and chrome show a fingerprint the moment they dry, so fixtures get buffed dry at the end.
